1965 Porsche 356 C, 356c, Stunning Restored Car on 2040-cars
Redmond, Washington, United States
|
Hello All,
Here is a fantastic 1965 Porsche 356C up for auction. This stunning car has been restored top to bottom and shows very well, with no stones left unturned. The previous owner restored the car starting in 2003 and finished around 2007, and with my purchase of the car i was given a stack of receipts totaling around 50,000, but that is not nearly all of them, just what was found. It was estimated that around 80k was spent on the car and it shows.
Akers in seattle rebuilt the engine and tranny, and they both perform as they should. A couple pumps of the gas peddle and she fires right up. Engine sounds great and pulls hard. Receipts were lost for engine and tranny but akers in Seattle is who rebuilt them. Tranny shifts fantastic and the clutch has a nice feel to it. I do not have a heritage certificate with the car, but it is believed to be all matching numbers as it came from the factory. Body was built in 64 and so was the engine as per serial numbers, and previous owner stated that they are original to the car.
Interior is in beautiful condition with only minimal wear. All gauges and lights work as they should. Original radio was changed to a newer (old look) radio and it works great, plays cd, am/fm, tape etc. Original radio and speakers are included.
There is a small blemish on the driver seat, i believe on the piping from getting in and out, very small and not extremely noticeable.
The body on the car is extremely straight and all the gaps are amazing. Paint shines beautifully. Doors shut nicely, as do the hood and trunk lids. No rust whatsoever. When driving the car, she is super smooth and tight. No rattles or strange noises and soaks up bumps nicely. She pulls with plenty of power and inspires you to go just a bit faster.
All in all, the car is in beautiful shape and is an award winner. But she is a used car and is not in concours shape. As far as imperfections go, there is some minor pitting on the wheels, and on the chrome door frames. Nothing major but could be redone to bring it closer to a 100 point car, the drivers seat has a small wear mark on a part of pipping. The muffler is not correct, (Akers can supply a correct muffler for 450.00). And she has general wear from being driven. This an exceptionally nice car needing nothing to be driven and shown. Please look at the pictures as there is a ton of them and they paint a pretty good picture. Please ask any and all questions as im sure i forgot stuff. Feel free to call me if you are serious about the car at 425-802-8682. Thanks for looking

Porsche would have entered F1 if Audi had blocked its Le Mans program
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Go back a few years and you may have heard rumors of Porsche heading into Formula One. That never came to pass - or at least, it hasn't yet - but that doesn't mean that it wasn't close to happening. That's how committed to returning to top-level motorsport competition Porsche has become recently.
Autosport reports that just as Porsche was merging fully into the Volkswagen Group, Zuffenhausen was weighing its options for a factory racing program. Le Mans was its favorite, which makes sense, as it remains far and away the most successful constructor in the history of the famous endurance race. But the strategists at Porsche were worried that its new corporate overlords at Volkswagen wouldn't support two LMP1 programs and would favor Audi, which has positively dominated the modern era of endurance racing, coming second only to Porsche in the number of Le Mans victories it has scored to date.
Porsche's Plan B was reportedly to head into Formula One, although it isn't clear if the German automaker was intent on starting its own team, buying an existing one or merely providing engines to other teams. Porsche fielded its own cars in F1 in the late 1950s and early 60s, and returned as an engine supplier with TAG to power McLaren in the 1980s, powering Niki Lauda and Alain Prost to the World Championship in 1984 and 1985.
Porsche CEO hints at Macan GTS, expects brand sales growth to 200K+
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Porsche is expecting big things from its little Macan, with CEO Matthias Mueller announcing that not only is a sportier GTS model being considered, but that the CUV will almost certainly help push Porsche beyond its 200,000-unit-per-year sales goal three years earlier than expected.
"We're transferring the genes of the Porsche brand into a new market segment," Mueller said during a speech to kick off Macan production, according to Automotive News Europe. Macan demand should push the brand past 200,000 sales, Mueller said, confirming what we reported back in August. And if Porsche really has a hit on its hands, it is able to boost production of the sporty crossover beyond its initial capacity of 50,000 units, according to the brand's CEO.
Provided that the Macan is the success Porsche hopes it will be, Mueller hinted that the range could expand beyond the initial Macan S and Macan Turbo. "GTS versions have a tradition at Porsche," Mueller said. "We haven't made a final decision yet regarding the Macan, but I'm sure it makes a lot of sense."
