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

Pininfarina teases its Tesla- and Bugatti-baiting EV supercar

Tue, Jul 10 2018

Pininfarina isn't being bashful when it comes to getting into the car business. The Italian design house has revealed a sketch of the PF0 Concept, an electric supercar aimed directly at the world's fastest and most expensive vehicles. With upward of 1,000 horsepower, along with an expected price in the millions of dollars, this extreme EV is meant as a calling card for Pininfarina's upcoming range of electric cars and SUVs. So should the likes of Tesla, Porsche, Ferrari, Bugatti and Lamborghini be worried? Pininfarina might be new to building its own cars, but the company has many decades of experience designing and engineering some of the most desirable cars of all time — including many of the finest supercars to have worn a Ferrari badge on their nose. As we reported earlier this year, Pininfarina has teamed with Indian auto manufacturer, Mahindra, to develop a range of high-end EVs. With this roughly $500 million investment, not to mention some engineering help from Croatian supercar manufacturer, Rimac, Pininfarina aims to start high. The company will first introduce a hypercar, based on the PF0 Concept, within two years, then bring along a range of more affordable electric cars and SUVs. These will more directly take on the likes of Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus, and Tesla Model X. So yes, if you're in the business of building expensive cars, especially ones with a lot of batteries positioned inside them, Pininfarina's plans for the PF0 (that's a zero, not the letter "O," by the way) should make you sit up and take notice. "Automobili Pininfarina is a pioneering new business created to service the most discerning clients in the world," said Michael Perschke, CEO for Automobili Pininfarina. "Our product portfolio will launch with an innovative, zero-emissions hypercar that represents the progression we aim to make at the pinnacle of the luxury and sports car market." According to its press release, Pininfarina is currently presenting its "business and product plans to prospective retailer partners, clients and media in New York this week." After its tour of the Big Apple, look for Pininfarina to officially reveal the PF0 Concept during Monterey Car Week in August.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
