Beautiful T1a Silver/red 356a Coupe Garaged Ca 100% Factory-metal Flrs #match 56 on 2040-cars
1957 Porsche 356A Coupe 1600, rare original silver/red color combination, 100% solid factory-metal floors. An early T1A Coupe that has been garage-kept in California since new, same title since 1970. Original numbers-matching engine with original carburetors, excellent running condition. Original Blaupunkt radio, speaker covers, steering wheel and shift knob. Restored approximately 25 years ago to factory specifications, still shows beautifully. No rust repairs anywhere in the floors, wheel wells, longitudinal or jack points - all original solid metal. Please note that all the factory undercarriage spot welds are visible and pristine, every nut easy to turn, hallmarks of a garaged California early Porsche. (Even good California cars often need some metal replacement in the floors or longitudinals, only cars garaged since day one look this original underneath). No restoration work has been performed on this car in over 20 years, other than mechanical upkeep. The date-stamped original gas tank was recently cleaned and re-lined, and brakes are redone. New tires were installed last week. Paint is approximately 25 years old and shows beautiful. The previous owners have large commercial real estate holdings in the Northern SF Bay Peninsula. They own one of the largest collections of early slot machines in California, and this Porsche 356A was stored the past 25 years amongst their vast array of early California memorabilia. Many of the slot machines are worth over $250,000, and this Porsche was a fitting part of this treasure trove. We specialize in early Porsche models, and I was excited to acquire this wonderful T1A Coupe and present it here. (The COA is on order, but Porsche North America already verified the original color combination and engine number by phone).

Pininfarina teases its Tesla- and Bugatti-baiting EV supercar
Tue, Jul 10 2018Pininfarina isn't being bashful when it comes to getting into the car business. The Italian design house has revealed a sketch of the PF0 Concept, an electric supercar aimed directly at the world's fastest and most expensive vehicles. With upward of 1,000 horsepower, along with an expected price in the millions of dollars, this extreme EV is meant as a calling card for Pininfarina's upcoming range of electric cars and SUVs. So should the likes of Tesla, Porsche, Ferrari, Bugatti and Lamborghini be worried? Pininfarina might be new to building its own cars, but the company has many decades of experience designing and engineering some of the most desirable cars of all time — including many of the finest supercars to have worn a Ferrari badge on their nose. As we reported earlier this year, Pininfarina has teamed with Indian auto manufacturer, Mahindra, to develop a range of high-end EVs. With this roughly $500 million investment, not to mention some engineering help from Croatian supercar manufacturer, Rimac, Pininfarina aims to start high. The company will first introduce a hypercar, based on the PF0 Concept, within two years, then bring along a range of more affordable electric cars and SUVs. These will more directly take on the likes of Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus, and Tesla Model X. So yes, if you're in the business of building expensive cars, especially ones with a lot of batteries positioned inside them, Pininfarina's plans for the PF0 (that's a zero, not the letter "O," by the way) should make you sit up and take notice. "Automobili Pininfarina is a pioneering new business created to service the most discerning clients in the world," said Michael Perschke, CEO for Automobili Pininfarina. "Our product portfolio will launch with an innovative, zero-emissions hypercar that represents the progression we aim to make at the pinnacle of the luxury and sports car market." According to its press release, Pininfarina is currently presenting its "business and product plans to prospective retailer partners, clients and media in New York this week." After its tour of the Big Apple, look for Pininfarina to officially reveal the PF0 Concept during Monterey Car Week in August.

Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.
Magnus Walker soliloquizes in his Porsche 911 at night
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Magnus Walker, a prolific Los Angeles clothing designer who has also carved out a respected spot for himself in Porsche world, has had yet another video made about him and his sizable Porsche collection. In this latest video, Hong Kong-based Obscura magazine focuses its video cameras on Walker and his 1971 Porsche 911 track car (yes, the one that appeared on Jay Leno's Garage) as he speeds around Downtown LA and Little Tokyo late at night.
We've heard Walker's story many times before. He's not like the average Porsche owner, perhaps a tad more passionate than most, and he builds 911s like he designs clothes: his way. Sure, we might be a little envious, but can you blame us? View this very slick and entertaining nighttime video entitled Disturbing The Peace below.
