I am selling this 1962 Porsche 356B for a friend. He is downsizing as he is getting on in years. He is the second owner and has owned this car since 1971. The car has a older repaint and is a California black plate rust free car. The paint is presentable although not perfect. Most all of the rubber is still soft. The pan is free of damage and corrosion. The chrome trim is excellent and shines up well. All the glass is good, and the headliner is not ripped or torn. The mechanicals are good and the car roads well. The doors, hood and deck lid operate as they should with no sagging or play. The Back seat and seat deck look unused. This car is very nice and can be driven anywhere. The Owner was a executive and is not a car guy. He has had this vehicle professionally maintained. The car has been garage kept and driven mostly on weekends. It has the original - owners manual, jack, spare, jack handle, workshop books, and luggage rack leather strapping. There is a aftermarket bra in good shape, and a few receipts dating back to the mid nineties. I was told by the Porsche dealer that it is a matching numbers car and the odometer reads a little over 70K which is believed to be correct. The car starts right up, does not smoke, the oil light goes of and does not come on at idle, It shifts well in all gears and has a lot of power for the 4 cylinder engine size. The brakes do not pull and the car stops correctly. The original carpet and interior is in excellent shape other than a wear mark on the drivers seat piping edge and the driver rocker carpet edge. The paint has a few nicks and looks to be touched up in a few areas. There is a good quart of paint from the paint job which is a factory correct color (the can is pre 1974 with no bar code). The spare looks to be original with the leather hold-down strap in good shape. The drivers headlight has a chip in the glass. The ash tray and glove box show no use. the radio is original to the car. The interior lights do not work. The patina on this car is great for its age and a well preserved older restoration example as this rarely comes up for grabs. I have watched the sales on this car type and many have sold for more than the starting price that were not even close in condition. The car is being sold with no reserve. This is a good dependable car to drive or restore to show. The registration is current thru August 2014 and the title is free and clear. If you have any questions please call Jim - seven one for 875 three for 28. The car is located in Orange county California. Buyer pays for shipping. Payment must be received within 48 hours of auction end. Cashiers checks must clear prior to transfer. Thanks for bidding.

Porsche suspends 911 GT3 deliveries amidst fears of spontaneous combustion

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

Seeing pictures of Italian supercars burst into flames by the side of the road, as our compatriots at Axis of Oversteer point out, has become something of a usual sight. But a Porsche? Surely those meticulous German engineers have got that taken care of, right?
Not necessarily. Reports coming in from Europe indicate that no fewer than five 911 GT3 coupes have "spontaneously combusted" in the past few weeks, prompting Porsche to launch an investigation. In the meantime, they've reportedly ceased deliveries of the new GT3 while they try to determine what the problem is and work to rectify it.
We wouldn't be surprised to see a recall issued once the problem is resolved, but for now, we'd encourage existing owners to be extra vigilant behind the wheel - or better yet, leave their cars in the garage for the time being. You wouldn't want to drive a 475-horsepower rear-drive sports car through a Polar Vortex, anyway, right?

Porsche Boxster Spyder GT4 under consideration

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Apparently, the Porsche Boxster Spyder will not be the ultimate example of the breed, after reports have surfaced indicating that Porsche is considering an even hotter roadster after seeing strong demand for the all-new Cayman GT4. The new lightweight Boxster was just unveiled a few weeks back at the 2015 New York Auto Show, showing a 3.8-liter flat-six, just like the Cayman GT4. It's without a number of GT4-specific components, though. According to Autocar, a Boxster Spyder GT4, if it were built, would benefit from the same 911 GT3-inspired adjustable front suspension, a unique rear suspension, GT3-spec brakes and a new aerodynamic kit. "We are looking at it right now," a source within Porsche told Autocar. "Much of the engineering has already been done for the Cayman, so we think this might be a good direction for us."

1974 Porsche 914 EV conversion still looks good

Thu, Jan 23 2014

Looking through the pages of the EV Album is a great way to learn about the breadth and depth of the electric vehicle community. Branching well beyond the three dozen or so electric vehicles that are currently sold by major automakers in the US, EV Album showcases lots of DIY conversions of all types. A 1995 Fiat Cinquecento? Check. A 1992 Kewet Eljet 2? No problem. The site's old-fashioned looks (it was started in 1997) show just how long people have been passionate about their EVs. Many of the cars are throwbacks to a previous time and we found a prime example of that, a converted 1974 Porsche 914 (EV Album page here) this week. Now powered by a Prestolite MTC4001 Series Wound DC motor and some flooded nickel-cadmium batteries, the 914 has a top speed of 80 miles per hour and a range of 35 miles. But only "if you are taking it easy," of course. The motor has a peak output of 60 horsepower and 25 hp continuous. Converted over 600 hours (!) to electric power at a cost of $10,000, it is now owned by Charlie Garlow of Maryland. The car is on display at the Washington Auto Show this week and serves as a great reminder of what most EV drivers used to have to do to drive emissions free.
