Up for sale is my 1962 Porsche 356 Cabriolet Super, Reuter Body Number 155743, with matching Super engine number 700266, produced in late 1961 and titled as a 1962. Car is pictured with the hardtop. Found sitting quietly in dry storage until recently, with both tops, hard top and soft convertible top, car is complete with all of its parts including the front bumper which is present but not pictured. Brought into our shop and with a fresh battery and fresh gas running to the fuel pump, we spun it over and it fired right up! Last on the road in 1978 shows the sticker in the windshield. Engine runs beautifully as you can see in the video below and holds an idle very well. Needs new muffler but carbs are tight with no leaks and after running the engine for 30 minutes the temperature gauge holds evenly just a quarter inch above cold. Oil looks good. Engine takes the gas well with no misfiring or misses or engine noise in the upper rpms. There are no excessive oil leaks. Just the normal ones.
Car was originally white (paint code 738) with red leather upholstery. Seats are out so that you can see the floors. While it still retains its original floors, it will need some floor repair as can be seen by the pictures. Doors close beautifully with a nice "thud" and engine lid and hood close nicely as well with even gaps all the way around. Hood fits wells, closes well, and is not kinked. The body shows no damage of major accident and the body lines and gaps are excellent. This car will need to be restored before it can be driven. It presents an excellent basis to start with and we see very nice examples that are matching numbers bringing more than $125K. It has all of the parts necessary to make this a top flight car. The Porsche 356 open cars are dearly sought after and are becoming very difficult to find in a condition that is restorable. It seems that those that are restored are cresting $100k for an entry level example. Please see over 100 photos on the link below:
Here is a short video of the engine running:

Paul Walker's accident due to 'speed, and speed alone'
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Following an investigation into the crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and driver Roger Rodas, an unnamed law enforcement source told the Associated Press that there were no signs of mechanical failure on the Porsche Carrera GT that was destroyed in the accident.
The report from The Huffington Post claims the officer in question blamed "speed, and speed alone" in the fatal accident. The same report ruled out the presence of debris in the road, which may have caused Rodas to lose control of the V10-powered super car.
Engineers from Porsche are traveling to California to investigate the accident with the help of the Carrera GT's on-board data recorder. Until then, investigators won't speculate on the car's speed at the time of the wreck.
2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.
Porsche announces works team for United Sportscar Championship
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Porsche is undoubtedly the most successful manufacturer in sportscar racing, and it's only upping its game. The German marque is launching its new LMP1 racer for Le Mans in pursuit of overall victory once again, and now that sportscar racing in North America is coming together under one banner in the United Sportscar Championship, Porsche has announced it is entering the fray with a works team here as well.
The new Porsche North America racing team will field two cars in the entire inaugural season of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship that's been formed out of the former Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. The team will be based out of the Porsche Motorsport North America facility in Santa Ana, California, and will partner with three-time ALMS LMPC winners Core Autosport in getting a pair of the latest 911 RSR racecars to the front of the GT Le Mans class.
Drivers have yet to be announced, but are projected to be drawn out of Porsche's factory driver program, which includes such talents as Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani. Keep reading below for the official announcement.
