Claremont, California, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email me at: joleenjnnogales@artfriend.com . his is a real Porsche 356 – Cox was out to replicate Dean Jeffries custom 356 outlaw shown in my picture .Bare metal restoration in 2004 at Cox Motorsports in Grandview (Kansas City) mo.
This could be the most beautiful 356 Porsche coupe in existence! It is definitely NOT stock! Well over $100k invested to create the ultimate 356 hot rod.
Starting with a rust free 63 coupe, the car was stripped to bare metal, and totally rebuilt from the ground up. Beautifully installed new larger 911 battery box and pan at time of restoration.
Notice the incredible roofline...it has been chopped 2 inches to resemble the profile of the Porsche Abarth Carrerras.
Front fenders sloped to look similar to the A 356 fender line.
Headlights dished like Ferrarri Dino. Door handles removed, filled with metal perfectly, remote door openers installed...this blows them away at Starbucks! Show quality paint by Mike Winfrey. Won best paint at World of Wheels. Color is Porsche linen silver and applied and buffed to perfection!
Power windows, recessed license plate, and early 356 beehive taillights.
Perfect correct red interior. New carpet, headliner. New 12v wiring, modern snap in fuse box system, eliminating the hassle of old glass fuses.
All mechanicals by Cox Motorsports, the best 911 race shop in the country. Perfect 1978 3 liter 275 hp 911SC motor, 5-speed 901 gearbox, and 911 transaxle.
The front mechanicals are all 356 – the rear mechanicals are all 911.
Heater from the 911 engine works great.911 disk brakes all around, new shocks, suspension, uprights reinforced like Cox's Porsche racecars, 911 alloy wheels. Charcoal filter for gas tank, Turn signals hidden above headlights, Front fender oil cooler with thermostatically controlled fan (never overheats), Aeroquip oil lines to the motor. New Weber tuned carbs, detailed engine compartment. Performance is like no 356 you have ever driven, very, very fast and reliable. The exhaust note is spectacular, coming from the Cox Custom Exhaust system that is silver jet hot coated. This car is truly spectacular, the only one like it in the world, and gets more looks than you can imagine. It looks just right, very subtle, so the guys who appreciate the classics love this car, and the guys who love performance go nuts when they look under the custom louvered deck lid. This is your chance to have one of the most unique, beautiful Porsches anywhere. If you want it, you had better get it, because you will never see another one like this.

Studiotorino shows new Cayman-based Moncenisio sports car
Mon, 24 Mar 2014While the recent bankruptcy of Bertone shows that it has become very difficult to be a coachbuilder today, it seems there is still a business case in creating unique bodies for premium vehicles. Case in point, Studiotorino a small, Italian coachbuilder that has been creating limited-edition cars since 2005. Its latest creation is the Moncenisio, which debuted as a prototype at the National Automobile Museum of Turin on March 21. It's named after the 1902 Susa-Moncenisio race in Italy, the first automotive hillclimb in the world.
The Moncenisio begins life as Porsche Cayman S, and each car will be built to order with a planned production run of 19 examples. The chassis, mechanicals and engine are all left untouched. The only thing that Studiotorino alters are the body panels and interior appointments. Prices start at at a heady 145,000 euros ($200,420 US), plus the cost of the donor vehicle.
Architect Daniele Gaglione penned the shape of the Moncenisio, taking inspiration from the 1963 Porsche 904. The sports coupes receive carbon fiber pieces that replace the front bumper, side panels and rear bumper. Studiotorino also covers the rear side windows with welded metal panels. The design is still clearly a Cayman, especially from the front, but the extended roof and support pillars create a new look from behind, which features a new exhaust treatment and rear spoiler. The interior receives leather upholstery on the engine compartment cover, the partition between the engine and seats, ceiling and A-pillars. Scroll down to view a walkaround of the Moncenisio and read the full press release about it.
Porsche Fire and Ice is chilling art born of flames
Wed, 01 Jan 2014Porsche held a contest inviting ten filmmakers to riff on the tagline for the Panamera, "Thrilling Contradictions," in a 60-second film. The winner was an entry called Fire and Ice by director Ross Cohen, a concept that uses just those two elements in a premise as simple as it is rewarding. For his efforts, Cohen will receive a trip to the Chicago International Film Festival, and you might see the short in the pre-movie advertisements in a theater served by Spotlight Cinema Networks.
Porsche did this kind of thing just two years ago, when it asked filmmakers to illustrate the idea of "Everyday Magic". The winner of that contest, Michael Korbel's It's a Magical Life, followed the journey of a young man to husband and father from the perspective of the trunk of a 911. You'll find that video as well as Fire and Ice below.
