1964 Porsche 356c Sunroof Coupe: Beautifully Restored & Numbers Matching W/ Coa on 2040-cars
Year:1964
Mileage:100030
Location:
Santa Barbara, California, United States

Offered for sale is an exceptionally
beautiful, rare, numbers-matching and restored 1964 Porsche 356C Coupe with a
factory electric sunroof and finished in gorgeous Bali Blue over wonderfully
complimentary tan leather seats, oatmeal carpets and black rubber mats. We
acquired the car from the third owner, the former President of Rusnak Auto
Group, one of Southern California’s largest European marque (including Porsche)
franchise dealerships. A true lover of cars apart from his career, he has owned
dozens of significant classics, only buying the finest in rare and investment
quality cars. After purchasing the car from the 40+ year second owner’s widow in Jacksonville, FL, the third owner set about performing a high-level, comprehensive three year restoration including, but not limited to: thorough undercarriage rust-repair and installation of new pans, sanding the car to bare metal, applying a very high quality finish in factory original Bali Blue (Paint Code 6412), replacing all rubber, replating all chrome trim, reupholstering the entire interior with correct materials and having the numbers-matching engine blueprinted and completely rebuilt with all mechanicals sorted. Despite the fact that he used his connections to get significant discounts with some of the area’s best tradespeople, by his estimation more than $50,000 was spent in this endeavor and we have a one-inch thick stack of receipts documenting the restoration. The result of all of these efforts is absolutely stunning, an utterly head-turning 356C that would be at home in any weekend enthusiast’s garage or a significant collection. The car’s Bali Blue finish is exceptional; deep, lustrous, even and free of any noticeable imperfections, it cloaks a straight and correct body that retains consistent panel fits and gaps throughout. All of the rubber is new, all of the original glass is in excellent condition, all of the brightwork is flawless and colored enamel crested hubcaps adorn chrome wheels wrapped in nearly new tires. The car’s interior is equally immaculate, the rich tan leather seats, interior panels, headliner and carpet all to factory specifications and free of imperfections. The crack-free steering wheel has been reconditioned, all of the gauges work and the car comes with its original Blaupunkt radio, original full spare tire, changing tools and a complete 356 tool kit. As one would expect following a professional rebuild, the original, numbers-matching engine starts effortlessly, idles consistently and pulls strongly and smoothly through each of the original gearbox’s gears. Compression is excellent, the brakes and suspension have all been sorted and the car’s road manners are exceptional, making it a joy to drive, whether tooling through town, winding through the canyons or bombing down the highway. Something worth noting: the previous owner adjusted the torsion bars to give the car a more aggressive look, however we can certainly adjust them back if desired. This is an excellent and increasingly uncommon opportunity to attain a beautifully restored, all numbers-matching, exceptionally rare factory sunroof 356C finished in a desirable livery and documented by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and an abundance of receipts. With the Porsche market stronger than ever and continuing to indicate consistent appreciation, acquiring rare and well-presented examples has proven to be an excellent investment, making good cars exceptionally difficult to find. These cars just don't come up for sale very often anymore, so if you’re in the market this example certainly deserves your serious consideration. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the years have created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Porsche (if the price is right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. For U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end. Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end. Thanks for your interest. |

The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959
Thu, Apr 9 2015There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.

Editors' Picks June 2024: Some German SUVs and an excellent sports car
Fri, Jul 5 2024This month sees some recently-refreshed luxury SUVs join the list of Editors' Picks. Both the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne are fresh for 2024, and both are extremely tempting luxury performance SUVs for the well-off buyer. The vast array of powertrains available for both of them ensure there's a version for all comers, and any enthusiast would adore the extra-high-performance versions of both. Of course, enthusiasts will enjoy the last car on this month's list the most with the Lotus Emira. It's simply spectacular to drive, and we can't recommend it enough to the hardcore driver. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. You'll find the entire list of Editors' Picks at this link here, which we keep updated as cars are either added or dropped from the list. The vehicles youÂ’ll find below consist of every car we rated in June that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 BMW X5 2024 BMW X5 M Competition View 41 Photos Quick take: The X5 is most desirable in its PHEV and M60i V8 trims, but the whole lineup is extremely competent and brings together excellent performance, excess luxury and cutting-edge tech for its segment. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Mercedes-Benz GLE, Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Sport, Maserati Levante, Genesis GV80, Audi Q8 Pros: Superb to drive with knockout powertrains; excellent utility and creative features; styling is sporty and attractive but not over the top Cons: Infotainment system can be a pain; M Competition model is a little over the top; gets pricey quick with options From the editors: Senior Editor, Electric John Beltz Snyder — "I really like the dual-opening liftgate/tailgate combo. The liftgate portion up top opens quickly, allowing you to throw something inside or grab something out of the back. Flipping down the lower tailgate part gives you a nice place to sit and change shoes. Another benefit is that you can open the liftgate without unsecured items immediately falling out. And with the way the X5 M Competition encourages you to drive it hard, you will end up shifting loose cargo around at some point." Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "I'd snag the X5 M60i out of all the various X5 variants.
Porsche 911 2.7 RS values up by nearly 700% in the last 10 years [w/video]
Thu, Jan 1 2015These days if you have a wad of cash to invest in a classic car, Ferrari seems to be the best option. Hagerty's price index for the Italian supercars was up 43 percent in 2014, and Prancing Horses made up eight of the highest-selling vehicles at auction for the year. However, if you really want to watch your funds grow faster than practically any other legal investment, it might be worth setting your sights north of Maranello to Porsche in Germany. According to research from the Discovery Channel, the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS is the quickest-appreciating vehicle in the past decade, at least in the UK. In 2004, prices hovered around 65,000 pounds ($101,350 in current money), but buying one today would set you back over 500,000 pounds ($779,600). Rarer lightweight models go for even more. More than just a solid investment, buyers get what is considered to be the ultimate expression of the early 911. Built as a homologation special for racing, Porsche used the classic tactic of fitting a larger engine to boost power to about 210 horsepower while simultaneously cutting weight. A lower front air dam, extended fenders for wider wheels and ducktail spoiler at the back made sure the grip, aero and styling fit the motorsports attitude. You can get a brief taste of what it's like to drive one of these rare Porsches in the video from The Telegraph below. This one is even for sale, with an ambitious price of around 600,000 pounds ($935,000), and it also features legendary racer Derek Bell's autograph on the ashtray. Hopefully the car's eventual buyer remembers that the RS is a fantastic piece to drive, too, and stretches its legs every once in a while.
