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

Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.

Motor Trend hits Laguna Seca with Ferrari F12, Chevy Corvette, Porsche 911

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

According to the crew at Motor Trend, we should think of the video below "as an addendum to Best Driver's Car," a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn't able to take part in the magazine's official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the 'Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver's Car-winning 911. Of course, these cars don't actually compete against each other - the Ferrari offers up 731 horsepower and wears an asking price of $434,144 as tested, which means you could buy four loaded Corvettes for the price of one F12, and still have money left for a garage to store them in - but that's not the point of this particular test.
The point of this test isn't to listen to the beautiful sounds coming from the Porsche's flat-six-cylinder, the Corvette's pushrod V8 or the Ferrari's luscious V12, either, but the video below is worth watching for those three reasons alone. You know what to do.

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911s with limited edition model

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

Despite being 50 years old now, the Porsche 911 sure is looking good for her age. And to commemorate this milestone anniversary, Porsche has created the 911 50 Years Edition you see here, which will make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show - 50 years after the original 911 debuted at this very same expo.
What's really neat about the 50 Years Edition is that it houses a rear-wheel-drive setup inside of the wider body used for all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and 4S models. Found at the back is the 3.8-liter flat-six from the Carrera S, upgraded with the Powerkit package that increases horsepower from 400 to 430 and includes the Sport Chrono setup. According to Porsche, hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 4.2 seconds with the seven-speed manual transmission, or 3.8 seconds with the optional dual-clutch PDK.
Visual changes include two special paint colors - a darker graphite grey and a lighter geyser grey - unique 20-inch wheels that pay homage to the original Fuchs rollers of the 1963 car, and special badging at the rear and on the door sills. Inside, there are more throwbacks to the original 911, with green labeling on the instruments, white pointer needles and silver accents. What's more, the leather seats feature a fabric insert reminiscent of the Pepita design from the '60s. Looks great to us.
