1964 Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet - 1 Owner 

My dad served in the USAF in Hamburg, Germany. He bought his first Porsche 356, a super 90 in 1963. One day while traveling along the countryside in Germany a car pulled out in front of him causing a T-bone crash.  My father's super 90 was totaled and he was forced to buy another Porsche.  At that point the SC Cabriolet had just been offered and he said he really wanted a one because of the 12volt system, more engine horsepower and overall more refined car.  At that time in late 64 the SC's on a lot in Germany were sold before they were delivered.  My dad patiently waited to find one without any luck.  Until one day, he got a call from the local Porsche dealers owner offering to sell him his own dealer demo. My dad jumped on it and purchased this cabriolet July 6th, 1965 (49 years ago).   My dad used to race it in Germany as a hobby (view photos).

My father gave me this porsche and unfortunately I am selling it to buy a house.  It has been a long thought out process and an incredibly difficult decision but I believe it is in my best interest to sell this car and move in a different direction for myself and my future.  We have received notes ever since I was a kid asking if we would sell the car, for the very first time it is for sale and will be sold!!

The car runs, drives and can be driven in its current state but I would recommend taking the plunge and restoring this piece of history. 

The original color is Irish Green but was painted Ruby Red in the 80s when my dad wanted a color change 


Matching Engine and Transmission #'s 
Engine: 820112
Transmission: 70760 (741/0)
The Motor/Transmission and drivetrain were all been rebuilt in the early 2000's and have been driven a limited amount since. 
Runs and drives and clutch is very sticky and transmission feels good.


Interior
Black interior - front seats need recovering and rears look good just need a solid cleaning
Windshield wipers work, blinkers, tachometer, speedometer, odometer, horn, radio all work.  
There is a vertical crack in the windshield glass.
Carpet is dirty, rough and could use replacement
Interior door panels are in great shape, the windows roll up and down easily.
Locks lock from inside and outside.

Body and Rust
Body is in ok shape, the front end has had some work on it and the last body man welded a couple plates on it so you could pull it out and straighten it.  There are dents and rust.  The rust is on both driver/passenger lower front fender, drivers front floor pan, some misc areas on the floors, front clip by front head lights and misc other spots.  For the best results fixing it would be a rotisserie restoration.
Underbody has some dents and rust - view photos

Top
Convertible - needs replacement but the actual frame is in good condition and locks against windshield frame tight
Hardtop is included - no rear glass except the rear windshield (new rear glass) 

Misc
Additional parts are included (view photos to see extra parts that are pictured) - spare tire we have and is included included

 
Paperwork
I have every record that this car has ever had and the stack is huge! Everything is in chronological order and it was serviced and maintained by some of the greatest shops in the country.   Also included is the original black/white Colorado Title from 1965 and a Colorado Bill of Sale.

Front Clip
The only reason the front clip headlamps, bumper and misc parts have been removed is because my dad almost had a complete restoration started in 2003 but parked it instead in a heated garage due to a passing in the family. It sat in this heated facility for the last 9 years until 2 months ago when I pulled it out and took it to a local specialist to rebuild the carbs, drain the fluids and get it running again.  It is running great but needs to be driven to clean out the engine.  Each week since I got it back from the shop I have been starting it and driving it around the block but due to lack of headlamps, no current tags I can only drive a limited amount. 

Extras:
Hardtop and new rear glass for hardtop
356 3ring binder (shop manual)
Owners manual etc


This 356 would be a great candidate for a full restoration, addition to your collection or store it and let it continue to appreciate in value.    
  
Overall:
This is a beautiful Porsche 356 Classic.  It would make the perfect weekend warrior, beach cruiser or addition to your collection.  The Porsche is used, needs a restoration and 50 years old.  It is hard to capture all the blemishes and areas that need attention but it is a perfect restoration candidate.  I am not a Porsche specialist so I may have missed something so be sure to ask all questions you have prior to bidding or winning the 356.  The car is being sold as is, where is, without warranty or guarantees.  I am not required for your state emission or safety inspections including Colorado.

Shipping:
If you are out of state and need to have this Jeep shipped, call M&E Auto Transport #606-354-3643.  Michael is great to work with and offers competitive pricing, quick pickup and delivery.  He helped me ship a few vehicles back to Colorado from other areas in the country. 

Conclusion:
A $1000 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via paypal.  All sales are final.  The final payment must be received within 7 days of auction end time.  Payment options include cash upon pickup, Electronic Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer.  I have sold multiple cars on ebay and can provide references if necessary.  I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as this car is listed for sale locally as well.

If you have any questions or would like to know anything more or make an offer feel free to calling or texting.  #720-295-3372

911 beware! Porsche testing new top-trim Boxster

Wed, Dec 10 2014

The Boxster and Cayman are like the scrappy siblings compared to their star brother – the Porsche 911. And now it looks like the rivalry is about to get even more serious, as our spies have captured this hotted-up Boxster doing some winter testing. We've already seen Porsche evaluating a higher-performance version of the Cayman, rumored to be called the GT4. It would reportedly offer a taste of the thrills of the 911 GT3, but at a lower price. The coupe appears to have a convertible twin in this Boxster prototype. The biggest giveaway of their possible relationship is the shared front bumper with larger intakes and an extra opening at the tip of the hood. Although, this one lacks the Cayman's big, rear spoiler in favor of a smaller decklid unit. The good news for fans of shifting for themselves is that this tester is fitted with a manual transmission, according to our spies. Being a prototype, though, there's no guarantee that the gearbox makes it to production. At least in Cayman trim, these higher performance models might use a tuned version of the 3.4-liter flat-six with between 370 and 400 horsepower. Though, an earlier rumor suggested that a turbocharged four-cylinder could sit behind the driver. Until we know for sure, glance at the gallery to see a Porsche that might try to challenge its big brother.

Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.

Magnus Walker turbocharges his love for the Porsche 911

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

He's had his fill of early, long-hood Porsche 911s - he owns at least one from each model year, from 1964 to 1973 - so Magnus Walker, a fanatic of the Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker, recently set his sights on the early Porsche 930, as documented by this XCAR video called 'Turbo Fever.' Let us translate: pretty soon Walker will own all of the earliest, non-intercooled 911 Turbos - at least one from each model year, starting at 1975 and ending at 1977 (though the 1975 911 Turbo Carrera never officially was imported to the US by Porsche, so it'll be tougher to find one Stateside).
Any Porsche enthusiast can tell you why they love their car, and it often comes down to the small details that differentiate one model year from another. One of many examples is the mid-'80s 928. They look similar, but the basic difference between a 1984 Porsche 928 S and a 1985 928 S (US-spec) is two camshafts and 54 horsepower, though each car's V8 has its own pros and cons. We'll let Magnus Walker tell you all about the 930 and what makes the first three years special, as he's becoming quite the expert on early, air-cooled 911s. When the nearly 15-minute mini-documentary was filmed, which you can view below, he already had added four early 930s to his collection!
