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 celebrates 5M Facebook fans with crowdsourced one-off 911
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Porsche's Facebook fan base appears to be accelerating as quickly as the cars it builds. The German automaker has just unveiled a special 911 Carrera 4S designed with crowdsourced input as a way to thank its five million Facebook fans.
The 911 features special Aquablaumetallic paint from Porsche Exclusive, contrasting 20-inch white Carrera S wheels and pinstriping, along with an aero package including a fixed rear wing. Inside, there are unique backlit sill plates and the obligatory dashboard engraving that says "Personally Built by 5 Million Porsche Fans."
As a way to turn at least one virtual thumbs up into its more meaningful physical-world equivalent, Porsche is holding a contest to win the chance to drive the car at Britain's Silverstone racetrack - and bring a friend - and nine lucky runners-up will win 1:43-scale models of the 911.

Chris Harris brings together the 918 Spyder, LaFerrari, and P1
Sat, Nov 21 2015The Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 show that a hybrid powertrain can make for blistering performance despite its electric assist. This trio doesn't arrive on track together very often, but Chris Harris assembled these three stars at the Portimao circuit for a nearly hour-long demonstration of their amazing capabilities. So, which one is quickest around the track? Harris provides an answer with in-car video of all three contenders. His team also goes out of its way to even the playing field by sourcing tires independently from Pirelli for the P1 and LaFerrari. With the technical part out of the way, Harris can start having fun by doing his usual slides during the driving comparison. Tiff Needell and Marino Franchitti also eventually show up to provide the perfect recipe for a track battle in these hypercars. If you don't have the time, skip about 14:25 into the clip just to see the lap times. However, those numbers only tell a tiny part of the story. The whole video is definitely worth a watch.
Remembering Porsche's illustrious Le Mans history
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Not only does this weekend mark the running of the 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, it will also see the return of one of the race's most venerable brands to the top tiers of endurance racing. Porsche will campaign its first top-flight car since the 1998 911 GT1-98, the 919 Hybrid, at this weekend's race, in the hopes of knocking off its corporate rival, the dominant Audi team.
To understand just what a win for the 919 would mean, though, you need to look back on the intrinsic connection between the Circuit de la Sarthe and Porsche. It's a history that spans decades, dating back to the team's first win in 1970.
XCar has a great video on that history. At 25 minutes, it's a bit on the long side. Then again it is the Friday before Le Mans. Take a look below for the video.
