Offered for sale is my 1961 Porsche 356B T5 Super Coupe, painted in a stunning COA matching Silver, with blue leatherette interior and oatmeal German Square Weave carpeting. Fully sorted, everything works just beautifully on the car-brake lights, turn signals, headlights, all gauges and even the radio as well as a working charging system! Recently painted, the paintwork on this car is absolutely gorgeous! Receipt in hand where the car was taken down to bare metal and then refinished. All gaps are even and doors close well with that nice Porsche "thunk". Hood closes well and evenly all the way around and is not kinked. Hood pull works well every time to open the hood. Rear engine lid opens and closes well and the engine lid pull works well every time. Car was restored for the owner who gave the instruction that he wanted an "excellent driver quality car" that was fully sorted, a car that he could jump in, start, drive for the day and be proud of. This is that car. He searched for a car that was very solid to begin with and then began restoration on that car. We have a full folder of receipts of the restoration of the car which include seats done by Autos International, a new headliner, new side body deco strips, new Koni shocks, new shift linkage bushings, new clutch, pressure plate, release bearing, gland nut, flywheel seal, new brake wheel cylinders for all 4 wheels. Original owners manual is with the car along with a reproduction tool kit and an original Bilstein jack. The remainder of the interior, i.e., the door panels and rear seats are original and have not be re-upholstered. Tires are excellent with no cracks or checking, and the chrome wheels and hubcaps make the car visually appealing. The engine in the car is #705849 which is a later model Super engine. As soon as the key is turned to start the car, the engine roars to life with no smoke or strange noises, and after a short warm up is ready to go. Brakes stop the car on a dime evenly and straightly and do not pull to either side as they are being applied. The car "takes the gas" and goes through all gears evenly and smoothly. There are no transmission or engine issues with the car. The reverse gear works well. Here is a short video of the car being driven at highway speeds: http://youtu.be/HtRM9rrH-Vs and another: Here is a link to over 125 photos of the car: Title in hand, we are a licensed and bonded and insured auto dealer in North Carolina.

Volkswagen Group's Vision 2030 strategy could bring revolution to the brands
Sat, May 11 2019One would expect a corporate plan called "Vision 2030," looking 11 years ahead through wildly tumultuous times, to involve great change and numerous forks in numerous roads. According to Automobile's breakdown of Volkswagen's path forward, though, the plans contain some lurid potential surprises. The ultimate aim is return on investment, and that means ruthless reorganization of a conglomerate with eight primary car brands, two car sub-brands, and Ducati motorcycles. The first two Vision 2030 cornerstones Automobile mentions are near boilerplate: Production network restructuring, and "streamlining of key technologies." The latter two are the ones that could upend what we know as the Volkswagen Group: focusing on the Group's core brands — meaning Audi, Porsche, and VW — and transitioning to EVs, autonomy, and other mobility solutions. Based on the report, a quote from Audi's CTO referring to the Audi brand could cover how the Group plans to handle all of its brands: "We need to find a sustainable solution for the indefinite transition period until EVs eventually take over." The boutique divisions adjacent to carmaking, Ducati and Italdesign, look likely to be spun off. For the halo car brands — Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini — apparently shareholders want double-digit returns on investment, and the trio doesn't have long to hit the target. One eyebrow raiser is when the report states, "Bugatti is tipped to be gifted to [ex-VW Group Chairman] Ferdinand Piech." Piech fathered the Veyron during his tenure at VW, and it was thought he commissioned the La Voiture Noire, but he's lately stepped so far back from VW that he sold all his shares in the Group. Automobile quoted a senior strategist as saying of money-losing Bentley, "Why invest on a backward-looking enterprise when you can support a trendsetter? A proud history and excellent craftmanship alone don't cut it anymore." We guess no one at Ferrari, McLaren, or even Porsche got that memo. Bentley is reportedly close to being put in time out, and if brand CEO Adrian Hallmark can't right the Crewe ship, the hush-hush Plan B is to prop the Flying B up enough to lure a buyer. As for Lamborghini, caught between two masters at Audi and Porsche, even record-breaking numbers at the Italian supercar maker barely staved off sacrilege. It's said that VW brand CEO Herbert Diess considered putting a 5.0-liter Porsche V8 into the Aventador successor.
Porsche 918 Spyder already almost sold out?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Still planning on getting your hands on a Porsche 918 Spyder? You'd better act quickly, because word has it that the hybrid hypercar is nearly sold out.
While Porsche has reportedly only delivered a little over 30 of the 918 examples of the Spyder it plans to manufacture in total, Automotive News says that production is sold out through late March or early April - just a few months shy of when production is set to wrap in July.
That's pretty impressive for a car with a base price of almost $850,000, especially one requiring a $200,000 deposit just to get your name on the list. Still, that sum is significantly less than its competitors get for the McLaren P1 or LaFerrari, both of which sell for over a million (if you can actually get on one at that price), though in fairness, production of each is limited to less than half of the 918 Spyder.
Porsche patent sketches show removable headrest wind deflector
Mon, 21 Oct 2013While driving around in a convertible might seem glamorous, ask anyone with long hair and they'll likely tell you how it really is: the wind buffets, your hair goes everywhere and it's anything but glamorous. That's why you see so many convertibles driving with their tops up, their windows up or wind deflectors in place. But Porsche is apparently preparing to kick it up to the next level.
These patent drawings have leaked out, demonstrating what appears to be some new kind of wind-deflecting device being developed by Porsche. The mechanism is apparently fitted to the headrest itself and designed to keep the wind buffeting specifically around the head down to a minimum while allowing the car's occupants to enjoy the top-down driving experience.
No word on when it might hit the market, but we won't be surprised to see this kind of device appear on a future version of the Boxster or 911 Cabriolet. But nowhere else: despite the apparent leak, the patent drawings suggest that Porsche will be keeping this technology proprietary. Whether sister brands like Volkswagen, Bentley or Lamborghini will get their hands on it remains to be seen.
