         What is offered for sale is a 1964 model year Porsche 356 C restoration project.  This California car was built in 1964,yet was titled as a 1965 model.  The car is equipped with the original numbers matching 1600C engine and 4-speed transmission.  Engine number is 713870. Tranny number is 79313.  The original color of the car is believed to be Grey, with a red interior.  The body is completely stripped to bare metal, and treated with a rust inhibitor.


         The car was sidelined by an accident with a forklift at least 30 years ago (pre-1985), and has been a restoration project ever since.  Prior to 1985, the damaged car was disassembled for repair and restoration.  The second and third owners attempted to repair the damaged right fender and door without the benefit of replacement panels, and failed to complete the repairs.  The fourth owner acquired the car about 4 years ago, and commenced a complete bare-metal restoration of the body, which disclosed prior damage to the front of the car that was not properly sorted out and repaired.  To repair this damage, a heavy gauge replacement front nose clip was obtained from Trevor's, which is included with the sale.  In addition, replacement panels were acquired to replace damaged or rusted areas of the car, including the front clip, front battery tray, front structural members, a complete body floor pan, and a right front fender skin.

        The body was sandblasted completely, and a clear rust inhibitor applied.  Existing bondo was removed from the areas of the right front fender, right door, and right door pillar.  The floor pan was rusted out and removed.  Replacement panels were acquired for the floor pan area, are not installed, and are included with the sale.  The front lower valance bodywork was damaged and rusted, and the nose had prior damage that had been poorly repaired. A Trevor's brand replacement front nose clip was acquired to sort out the front end bodywork, has not been installed and is included with the sale. 

       The 1600C engine and 741 transmission were inspected, serviced and repaired by Porsche specialist David Loop of Monterey, California.  The engine and transmission were in good condition according to Mr. Loop, who also installed new 2nd and 3rd gear synchros in the transmission.

       A set of 15" fuchs alloys with center caps are included with the sale.  They were acquired by a prior owner to replace the original steel wheels, which are no longer available.  The tires are old and need to be replaced.

      The windshield glass, both door windows, both door vent pieces and one rear quarter window are included.  Apparently lost over time are the rear window glass, and one rear quarter window glass panel, which are not included in the sale.  The interior door and trim panels, the rear seats, and both bumpers are missing and not included in the sale.

      The gas tank has been treated with rust inhibitor and restored.  Much of the chrome has been replaced or re-chromed.  New rubber seals were acquired and are included.  All gauges are original and appear still functional.  The heater boxes and related sheet metal are complete and functional.

      A total of 67 high resolution photos of the car can be seen here:  <a href="link"> link </http://www.flickr.com/photos/baremetalbathtub>

     During the 10-day duration of the auction, the car can be inspected in Monterey, California, by appointment.

     The body is situated on a custom dolly and casters for ease of movement and restoration, and it is included in the sale. 

     Numbers matching 356's are getting harder to find every day, which is no surprise when one considers the astounding prices being paid for restored examples.  Isn't it time for you to have one?  After all, you deserve it, right?

Win an electric car and celebrate Earth Day

Thu, Apr 22 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Enter to win this giveaway or any other Omaze experience now through April 23, 2021 and receive 500 extra entries into any campaign plus a chance to win $10K with code GOGREEN500. Simply add the discount at checkout. Whether you like it or not, there will come a day when most, if not all of us, will be driving electric cars. For some of us that day can't come soon enough, and in honor of Earth Day we've put together a list of our favorite car giveaways so you can save some green while being green.  Win a 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S and $20,000 - Enter Here If there’s one thing Porsche is good at, itÂ’s making fast, beautiful cars, and the Taycan Turbo S is no exception. Making 750 horsepower, 774 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 161 miles per hour, punching the accelerator will surely throw you back in your seat. In fact, its 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds matches that of the quickest Porsche 911 ever made, the Turbo S. The difference between this Taycan Turbo S and that 911 Turbo S, of course, is that the only reason youÂ’ll ever need to stop off at a gas station is to fill up on snacks. That and the fact the Taycan doesn't actually have a turbo anywhere in the car. We wouldnÂ’t be reaching for a bag of FlaminÂ’ Hot Cheetos, though, because this incredibly comfortable leather interior is immaculate, and weÂ’d hope to keep it that way. Enter here for a chance to win this prize worth $220,000. Win a Himalaya Land Rover Defender 110 EV and $20,000 - Enter Here The Land Rover Defender is an icon: an intense, luxurious off-roader that turns heads and can crawl up nearly anything. The problem? For the past 20+ years it hasn't been available in the United States and it's never been what youÂ’d call environmentally friendly. But this Defender is different. ItÂ’s vintage, restored by Himalaya and itÂ’s all-electric. At 275 horsepower, you wonÂ’t be thrown back in your seat, but the 406 lb-ft of torque helps make this an incredibly capable rock crawler.

Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]

Sun, 07 Apr 2013

Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.

2014 Porsche 911 Targa takes its crop-top off in Motor City

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Back in 1965, Porsche invented the 911 Targa as a matter necessity. Believing that a finicky National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was prepared to outlaw convertibles, the innovative automaker created the half-open car as a way to keep wind rushing through owners' hair. Though far removed from those formative days, it seems as though the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa has come to the Detroit Auto Show with a new-school version of some old-school tech.
While the last Targa featured a trick sliding glass roof at the touch of the button, the new car dramatically swallows a traditional-looking panel via an exceptionally complex-looking mechanical operation. The net result is "the same fun factor and freedom" that can be had with a complete convertible, though with slightly more open-driving protection while underway.
And, as is the case with all of the current 911 range, getting underway can be done with reasonable rapidity. The entry-level Targa 4 rocks a 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six engine just behind the rear axle, making that car good for 175 miles per hour at the top end (with the seven-speed manual, 174 mph with PDK) and a 0-to-60 sprint of 4.6 seconds. The Targa 4S, meanwhile, offers 400 horsepower from 3.8-liters of boxer six, runs to 60 in 4.2 seconds and hits a top "track speed" of 183 mph.
