This is the restoration opportunity you've been waiting for. Here we have a matching numbers 1962 Porsche 356 Super 90 Coupe that has been off the road since 1978.  Chassis number 118099 left the factory with S90 engine 700456 and transmission 51097. Delivered in Schwartz (Black) paint over Leder Rot (red) interior, this will be a stunning collector piece when restored. When finished, this will be a standout example of a vintage 356.

As it sits, the interior presents like a time capsule. The seats have no tears and could be restored rather than recovered. You can tell the car was parked in a garage early in its life as you don't see such an intact interior on projects. If the new owner desires, the interior could be cleaned up and presented as a survivor interior. While the inside is amazing, the exterior is rust free. The floors themselves are original. This is a great car to restore to it's fullest because you are not dealing with any rust repair. The engine does turn over by hand but has not been run and is out of the car.

There are number of noteworthy things that will make this car a standout when restored:

- Matching numbers engine and transmission

- Rare black paint

- Original pans, panels with good caps, not a rust bucket or pans replaced like most 356 cars today.

- Red interior- a special order upgrade for coupe

- Original keys for ignition, glove box and transmission lock, including some spares

- Records dating back to the mid-70's.

- Super 90 Camber Compensating bar still intact

- Special Order items include extended steering column, headrests and armrests

Porsche planning something track-focused for Geneva [w/poll]

Thu, Feb 26 2015

At the 2015 Geneva Motor Show next month, Porsche has confirmed that it will be showcasing two potentially exciting new models: One is the new Cayman GT4 we've already seen, but we don't know what the other will be just yet. All the German automaker is saying at the moment is that, "the second new model is another exceptional Porsche that sets new standards on the racetrack" and that "this vehicle confirms the sports car manufacturer's commitment to high performance sports cars that manage a very special link between everyday driving and motorsports." Given those two statements, we can probably rule out a crossover or sedan at one end of the spectrum or a purely competition-spec racer at the other. The likelihood is, then, that Porsche's surprise for Geneva will be the new 911 GT3 RS. But then it could be the Boxster-based convertible counterpart to the Cayman GT4 (whether dubbed Boxster GT4, Boxster Spyder or something else), or even a track-tuned version of the 918 Spyder to take on the McLaren P1 GTR and Ferrari FXX K. We'll just have to sit tight to find out, but you're welcome to read the press release below and tell us what you think Zuffenhausen has in store for us at the Swiss expo this year. Double world premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show 2015 Porsche shows two new high-performance cars for the first time Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG is celebrating the world premiere of two extreme sports cars at this year's Geneva International Motor Show. The new Cayman GT4 is the first high-performance sports car belonging to the GT family that is based on the mid-engine coupes. Clocking a lap time of seven minutes and 40 seconds on the North Loop of the Nurburgring, the new entry-level model makes a great debut. The second new model is another exceptional Porsche that sets new standards on the racetrack. The world premiere will take place during the Porsche press conference at the Palexpo Arena in Geneva at 11:30 (CET) on March 3, 2015. A live webcast will be available in German and English on: http://porsche.gomexlive.com/. This vehicle confirms the sports car manufacturer's commitment to high performance sports cars that manage to make a very special link between everyday driving and motorsports. These two premieres continue Porsche's tradition of presenting motorsport highlights at the spring car show on the shores of Lake Geneva. The 911 GT3, 918 Spyder and 919 Hybrid all celebrated their debuts in Geneva in recent years.

Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer

An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
