1962 Porsche 356b Super Cabriolet: “CONCOURS SHOWCAR QUALITY”

 

CONCOURS SHOWCAR RESTORATION: 1962 PORSCHE 356B CABRIOLET: better than NEW!!!

Numbers Matching! According to Porsche Certificate of Authenticity that goes with the car. Car is original color, Ivory.

 

We are excited to offer one of the best completely restored 356s on the market today. Cars restored at this level are indeed very rare.

 

This car would be rated No.2++ in our opinion, where a No. 1 car is not driven and like showroom condition with zero miles. This car is truly a “showcar driver”!

 

This has been a meticulous, no expense spared, professional restoration. Documented with over 300 photos from start to finish!

 

The Porsche was totally disassembled, taken to bare metal (see pictures), then expertly repaired. The car was extensively prepped for paint and then painted with Deluxe Glasurit Ivory paint. This paint job would have to be rated a 10! And it was done several months ago so it is seasoned! Victor Quinones, owner of It’s Finished in Indian Trail, N.C. did the body work and professional paint.

 

All chrome is original part than came on the car and has been re-plated.

All new correct wiring harnesses.

Rubber: all rubber is new

Keys: All keys were purchased from Porsche key expert in Pennsylvania and include glovebox key, shifter key, truck pull key, door keys, and ignition key.

 

Mechanics: Original Super engine (#700007) was totally rebuilt, (we have receipts), New rebuilt carburetors, engine runs great. Engine compartment is detailed to perfection as per original. Parts for engine were purchased from Stoddard as were a lot of other parts for the car.

 

Interior and top: Interior and canvas top are from Autos International of California. Top frame was reconditioned and correctly painted. Top is tan canvas and interior seats are covered in exquisite leather and are biscuit color. Carpet is squared German weave. Car comes with two sets of Cocomats: black/tan spots and the other biscuit that matches carpet. These were tailor fitted by the Cocomat people in Fort Mill, S.C.

Transmission: original #50011 was disassembled and rebuilt

Brakes and suspension: New and rebuilt

All gauges were gone through professionally and clock keeps great time as it is quartz.

Driver’s Handbook: Included

5  Painted 356 Period Wheels, 5 new tires

2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.

Porsche forum claims eco-friendly 911 Blu coming to Frankfurt

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The fiftieth anniversary of the Porsche 911 has been a nearly year-long affair, with unique tributes and even a special anniversary edition with plenty of retro throwbacks. The party is expected to continue through the end of 2013, and if one 911 enthusiast forum is right, we'll see yet another special edition model near the anniversary of the original car's September 1963 debut, when it arrives at next month's Frankfurt Auto Show.
It's called the 911 Blu, and where the 911 50 Years Edition was more expensive than a 911 Carrera S hardtop, the Blu would be an entry level special edition. That's right, a limited run car that actually slots in at the very bottom of the 911 range. According to Porsche forum 911UK.com, the new car would be priced at 74,600 euros ($98,718 at today's rates) or 64,750 pounds. That undercuts the price of a base 911 in Germany by nearly 16,000 euros and in the UK by nearly 8700 pounds (although to be fair, it's roughly identical to the price of a base 911 C2S in the US).
This 911 will reportedly feature a detuned flat-six with 300 horsepower and 211 pound-feet of torque.

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles

Mon, May 13 2024

It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
