1964 Porsche 356C Coupe
Ferdinand Porsche’s first roadgoing model bearing his own name was the 356. Introduced in 1948, it underwent continuous development during the production run, which finally ended in 1965. By production’s end, the car had come a long way. Engine output over doubled, from 40hp at introduction to just shy of 100hp in the last examples. The ultimate development from these years was the 356 C, which represented significant advances over earlier models, including the adoption of disc brakes. They were available in several configurations as both coupes and cabriolets, and with several motors. This particular car is a long time California car, having been registered in California since approximately 1973, based on its old registration number 800 NTU. The car has records back to 1983, indicating that it was purchased by a woman in Sacramento. The car wore 6 digit blue license plates at that time, although these were replaced by a California “sunset” vanity plate in 1986. She looked after the car very fastidiously, performing regular valve adjustments, major services, and other repairs as necessary. She sold the car to its current owner in 1993, who continued the car’s fastidious maintenance. The owner has a 356 Speedster and purchased this car for his wife. Together, they used this 356C extensively for trips and it has proven quite reliable. There is a thick file of service records showing that the car was regularly used and always maintained. Included among this was a complete engine overhaul 25,000 miles ago in 2002. The car has had much other maintenance over the years, including restoration of the fuel tank and fueling system, cosmetic engine freshening including refinishing fan shroud, engine tin, and heater boxes, replacing brake lines, replacing pads and rotors, replacing the shocks and steering damper, replacing the master cylinder, and many other items. The car has the upholstery redone approximately ten years ago, as well as a respray. The car is in good cosmetic condition. Structurally, the car is very nice, with a good solid body that appears to be rust-free. The underside shows what appear to be excellent original floors that are free of corrosion. The longitudinals are also in excellent rust-free condition. The battery box is generally good, although there is a small hole. The car is equipped with a sunroof, although the owner reports that it does not appear on the Kardex. Regardless, it appears to be an original sunroof, with the correct type header rail, tracks, and dash switch. The paintwork was done to mediocre standards and is showing orange peel and a few areas of cracking and peeling, which have been touched up. The chrome ranges from fair to very good, but all trim is present and in good condition. The wheels are chromed and are very good. The car is also fitted with Speedster type side trims. The glass and lights are generally very good to excellent, though there is light pitting across the front windscreen from usual road use. The interior is in very good condition, with very good upholstery and carpets. The carpets are not of the correct material but are in excellent shape and well fitted. The correct rubber floor mats are in place and in good shape. The dashboard and instruments are in good shape, and the headliner is excellent. The trunk is correct and in very fine unrestored condition with correct plastic liner and chromed spare date coded May of 1964. The engine compartment is generally correct in appearance, with no untoward modifications. The original air cleaners are in place and the engine is reasonably clean with the appearance of a well-cared for car that has been used regularly but not neglected. The car runs and drives superbly, and the current owners have taken the car on many extended trips in the US and even into Northwestern Canada. This is a great opportunity to acquire a great driver 356C with sunroof that has been a reliable long distance tourer for its previous keepers. While not cosmetically perfect, it is mechanically and structurally excellent, making it an ideal event car, touring car, or a car to gradually improve while still using and driving it regularly. It comes with service records back to 1983. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: This car is sold AS IS without warranty. A 10% deposit is due upon the successful completion of the auction.

2015 24 Hours of Le Mans live race report
Sat, Jun 13 2015Check back regularly for more race updates every few hours. No, you don't need to stay up for the entire 24 Hours of Le Mans, but if you want to catch any of the action, Autoblog friend Reilly Brennan has a handy guide. And to keep you up to speed on the latest race events, we'll be posting live from Le Mans with regular race reports.Hour 1: Five laps in, Audi breaks up the three Porsches at the front, with the #19 919 Hybrid, driven by Nico Hulkenburg, passed by all three R18s. Hulkenburg eventually took back fifth position only to fall back again after the first pit stop. Meanwhile, clutch trouble kept the #23 Nissan GTR-LM in the pits until 15 minutes into the race. The other two Nissans were forced to start at the back of the grid after failing to the meet the 110 percent qualifying speed regulation. At the end of the first hour, just 7.5 seconds separated the first six cars. Then the factory team #92 Porsche GTE car caught fire, with the the #13 Rebellion P1 car taking frontal damage in the ensuing carnage. With the safety car out, the field is once again bunched up.Hour 2: The slugfest between Audi and Porsche continues, with neither side backing off. Halfway through the second hour the #7 R18 passes both leading Porsches for the top position. After another round of pits stops Porsche regains the lead until lap 30, when the Audi overtake once again and quickly pulls out a three-second gap. Nico Hulkenburg passes the other two Audis to join his Porsche teammates. At the beginning of the third hour it's Audi #7, Porsche #17, #18, and #19, followed by Audi #8 and #9. 33 seconds separates this group, with Toyota a minute back from the front car.Hour 3: On track the action refuses to stop. Although it's early, Audi is looking strong with the overall lead in the #7. What's more is that the Audis run four stints per set of tires, while the Porsche cars have to change rubber every third stop. But after a quick refueling, the lead R18 gets a tire puncture and comes back in 3 laps later, allowing Porsche to take over the top two spots. Then as the hour closes out a yellow flag causes traffic to bunch up and the #8 Audi gets stuck with nowhere to slow down. Driver Loic Duval dives for the side of the road but hits the guard rail and careens across the track, damaging the front and rear bodywork. The rest of the car is still intact, though, and once in the pits Audi replaces the entire front and rear of that in only three minutes.
Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars
Sat, 18 Oct 2014Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
Porsche planning something track-focused for Geneva [w/poll]
Thu, Feb 26 2015At the 2015 Geneva Motor Show next month, Porsche has confirmed that it will be showcasing two potentially exciting new models: One is the new Cayman GT4 we've already seen, but we don't know what the other will be just yet. All the German automaker is saying at the moment is that, "the second new model is another exceptional Porsche that sets new standards on the racetrack" and that "this vehicle confirms the sports car manufacturer's commitment to high performance sports cars that manage a very special link between everyday driving and motorsports." Given those two statements, we can probably rule out a crossover or sedan at one end of the spectrum or a purely competition-spec racer at the other. The likelihood is, then, that Porsche's surprise for Geneva will be the new 911 GT3 RS. But then it could be the Boxster-based convertible counterpart to the Cayman GT4 (whether dubbed Boxster GT4, Boxster Spyder or something else), or even a track-tuned version of the 918 Spyder to take on the McLaren P1 GTR and Ferrari FXX K. We'll just have to sit tight to find out, but you're welcome to read the press release below and tell us what you think Zuffenhausen has in store for us at the Swiss expo this year. Double world premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show 2015 Porsche shows two new high-performance cars for the first time Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG is celebrating the world premiere of two extreme sports cars at this year's Geneva International Motor Show. The new Cayman GT4 is the first high-performance sports car belonging to the GT family that is based on the mid-engine coupes. Clocking a lap time of seven minutes and 40 seconds on the North Loop of the Nurburgring, the new entry-level model makes a great debut. The second new model is another exceptional Porsche that sets new standards on the racetrack. The world premiere will take place during the Porsche press conference at the Palexpo Arena in Geneva at 11:30 (CET) on March 3, 2015. A live webcast will be available in German and English on: http://porsche.gomexlive.com/. This vehicle confirms the sports car manufacturer's commitment to high performance sports cars that manage to make a very special link between everyday driving and motorsports. These two premieres continue Porsche's tradition of presenting motorsport highlights at the spring car show on the shores of Lake Geneva. The 911 GT3, 918 Spyder and 919 Hybrid all celebrated their debuts in Geneva in recent years.
