Up for sale is my 1965 Porsche 356C Cabriolet, matching numbers per the original owner's manual in the glove compartment, chassis number 162068 with engine number 733159. Paint code is 6407. This is a 2 owner car. Included in the sale is the original ignition key with leather "Porsche" maroon fob. Fully documented from day one of its sale date on June 14th,1965. Sold by Mooers Motor Company in Richmond, Virginia. First owner owned the vehicle up to 8/23/1977 where second owner purchased the car. I purchased the car from the second owner. All service receipts with sequential mileage up the current mileage of 70735. Mileage is original. Odometer is working. Every service, every oil change, every tire purchase, every light bulb, every brake service, every state inspection, EVERYTHING from day one on this vehicle. It is rare to find a vehicle with all the service records and receipts and the service booklet in the dash with the dealer stamps in it. Hood and engine grill has the last 2 digits of vin stamped in them. There is no evidence of accident repair in going through all of the receipts. Since purchasing the vehicle we have changed the spark plug wires, put in fresh spark plugs, changed the oil, installed and set new points, changed the transaxle fluid, installed new rubber boots on transaxle, and did a thorough check over on the vehicle. All gauges work-temperature, gas level gauge, speedometer, odometer, tachometer, clock works most of the time, low and high beam lights, turn signals, brake lights. Radio currently does not work. The car maintains its original 6 volt system and charges well. Car has European heater system on it, which is all intact. Engine runs beautifully and takes the gas well. Transmission is smooth and shifts through all 4 forward gears smoothly and goes into reverse smoothly as well. I have driven the car over 400 miles in the past 3 weeks and it is just a blast to drive. Interior is showing some wear especially on the driver side seat; top is present and goes up and down but the rear window will need replacing; all doors close amazingly well and maintain their gaps very well; engine lid closes well. Hood closes well but has been kinked and will need repair. Car is very solid but has a few spots that will need some rust attention: small pencil eraser size blisters in front of driver side door on fender; driver side longitudinal in rear will need some rust repair (see picture). None of the rust on this car affects the structure of the car. We have had the car jacked up in the rear and the doors open and close beautifully while it is jacked up. There is no evidence of accident on the car. I also have a hardtop which is complete for the car that can be purchased additionally. Please see the link below where I have taken over 125 photos of the car: Here is a short video of the car being driven at highway speeds: You can buy with confidence. This is a really nice well maintained car over the years, one that is increasingly hard to find as a very nice dependable driver. It has classic lines and draws a crowd wherever it is parked. We are a licensed and bonded and insured auto dealer in North Carolina and we have an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau. Our dealership is: T.J. Auto, Inc., 1312 Capital Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27603. The title to the vehicle is in hand and everything is in order on our end.

Porsche Macan to get four-cylinder engines
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Porsche hasn't offered a four-cylinder engine since the 968 went out of production in 1995 - the better part of two decades ago. There'd been talk of a four-pot Boxster or an even smaller model to slot in below it, but while the latest intel indicates that Porsche is moving ahead with its four-cylinder plans, it's a different kind of vehicle that will get it first.
That, of course, would be the new Macan. Just revealed a few weeks ago at the LA Auto Show, the Macan crossover is being launched with a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 engines (a 3.0 with 340 horsepower and a 3.6 with 400 hp) and a six-cylinder turbodiesel with 258 hp. But smaller engines, according to emerging reports from Autocar and Auto Express, are on their way.
Word has it that Porsche is preparing a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 horsepower and a diesel with the same displacement and cylinder count, engines that will power new entry-level Macan models that will slot in beneath the existing Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo. While the diesel is tipped to be ported over from the Volkswagen parts bin, the four-cylinder gasoline engine is said to be under development by Porsche itself, which could mean it will have a boxer layout.
'Latest production version' of Porsche 918 shown off on Twitter
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Porsche posted a picture of what it is calling "the latest production version" of the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder on Twitter. It looks like the gasoline-hybrid supercar is being driven sportively on some California back roads during Monterey Speed Week.
Whatever updates were made to this version aren't visual (except for the paint), as the one Chris Harris drove last spring and another seen hot-weather testing in Nevada both had production bodies. We presume the changes are relatively minor and more than skin deep - perhaps brake calibration, suspension tuning or tweaks to the powertrain - but Porsche didn't release any more information.
The 918 Spyder is Porsche's latest supercar, which will compete with the LaFerrari and the McLaren P1 hybrid supercars. The Porsche may be the underdog of the group when considering horsepower, acceleration, top speed and price, but the 887-horsepower brute has the most advanced hybrid drivetrain of the three.
Porsche Cayenne shows a bit more face, plug-in spotted
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Porsche was first rumored to be working on a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Cayenne over a year ago. However, we had never seen it, until now. The new model was caught almost completely undisguised while testing. In another stroke of luck, we got a glimpse of the upcoming facelift for Porsche's SUV (pictured above) as well.
According to the spy shooter, it was windy during the cars' cold weather testing. The cover blew off of the facelifted Cayenne, and there was enough time to snap these pictures before it could be hidden again. The changes are all quite minor but jive with what we saw the last time it was spied. The rear still wears some cladding but is expected to be hiding lights similar to the Macan.
The second gallery shows off the upcoming Cayenne PHEV. It looks nearly identical to the standard model, except for the extra panel on the driver's side of the car that hides the electric port. One image even shows the car plugged in. The new version is expected to use the same supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 9.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack with a combined 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque from the Panamera S E-Hybrid. We enjoyed the system when we tested it last year. It's rumored to debut on the SUV sometime this year.
