Absolutely beautiful 1963 Coupe.  Red with black interior. T-6 body. Not a door nick or scratch on it.  Drives beautifully, shifts perfectly and tight. Never in an accident, never been a neglected or rusty car.  The car was ordered from the factory with "show paint", no doubt one reason the paint lasted so long.  It had the original paint on it until a few years ago when I had the car completely stripped to bare metal, body disassembled, epoxy primed and repainted in the original color. All new body and window seals at that time, new interior sound proofing throughout, new German weave carpet,most of the chrome was re-plated  with the exception of dash gauges & interior door pulls which do show some pitting, and the blinker and rear light chrome which was not done so all the numbers would still show (these are in very good to excellent condition), new front windshield, new head-liner, dash board cover.  All parts and seals came OEM from Stoddard Porsche. Rear jump seats are original and in excellent condition.


Original factory extras: Horn ring, moon caps, AM FM SW radio (still works great), tool kit with the original spare valves, manual, and the very rare original red and black plaid rear seat luggage case that came new with the car.  

Mechanical:  engine and transmission were both completely rebuilt about 20,000 miles ago. Complete brakes and drums were also done at that time.  Everything works very well. The engine was rebuilt with  the big bore kit to provide more acceleration up California hills, but I do have the 4 original pistons and barrels. Otherwise the engine is original with original carbs and original 6 volt system. The car starts quickly, shifts smoothly, tracks straight and true, no shimmies or shakes of any kind, tight steering, smooth and solid braking. The floor pan is the original without any problems.

The bad:  The dash clock stopped working.  There is some minor pitting on dash gauge chrome rings and on both interior door closing handles, the ones just under the windows, not the interior door handles themselves. The engine does drip some oil, but I have never had to add any between my usual 2,000 mile or once/ year changes.

The car was tuned a few weeks ago and the compression tested between 145-150 psi.in all cylinders.

This car is ready to drive anywhere.  It is a California car, it is currently registered in California, but CAR IS CURRENTLY IN FLORIDA. I will be glad to cooperate in buyer arranged shipping across country or overseas.

Noted Porsche collector Magnus Walker learns what a TED Talk is firsthand

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Porsche collector Magnus Walker has the name and looks of a Viking, but once he starts talking about his life story and what drives him, he's an absolutely fascinating guy. Walker recently gave a Ted Talk at a Tedx conference at UCLA and claimed he didn't really understand the idea behind the speeches. You would never know it, though. Walker is as gifted a speaker as he is a talented restorer of some seriously cool Porsches.
Walker's talk is titled "Go with Your Gut Feeling," and it amounts to his autobiography. He recounts his birth in England, dropping out of school at 15 and moving to the US at 19. Once in Los Angeles, he started selling second-hand clothes and grew it into a fashion business.
Of course, what makes him interesting to us is his passion for Porsches. He fell in love with them when he saw a white 911 as a child at the Earl's Court Motor Show in England, but Walker waited until the '90s to buy his first one. From there he started racing and eventually restoring them. Since the documentary Urban Outlaw about him was released, Magnus has become famous for the love of the brand.

The 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years

Mon, Apr 22 2024

Car maintenance has got to be one of the least fun things you can do with your free time, right behind going to the dentist and filing your taxes. However, depending on the brand you buy, your time spent at the shop could be much more than you bargained for. Consumer Reports’ new study on the most- and least-expensive-to-maintain car brands found that European car companies are most likely to break your wallet with costs nearly five times that of the automakers at the other end of the spectrum. Land Rover had the highest ten-year maintenance costs, at an average of $19,250. Porsche was second worst with $14,090 in costs. 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years: Land Rover: $19,250 Porsche: $14,090 Mercedes-Benz: $10,525 Audi: $9,890 BMW: $9,500 Volvo: $9,285 Infiniti: $8,500 Acura: $7,800 Mini: $7,625 Subaru: $7,200 The Euro brands at the “top” of this list arenÂ’t all that surprising. Land Rover has consistently landed as one of the most expensive vehicle brands to maintain for years now, though Porsche is generally viewed as being one of the more solid performance brands. That could suggest that some models donÂ’t always require more repairs, but the fixes they do need are significantly more expensive. Tesla, Buick, and Toyota were the three cheapest to maintain car brands, with 10-year maintenance costs of $4,035, $4,900, and $4,900, respectively. Consumer Reports noted that these numbers could be slightly skewed due to the fact that some automakers offer free maintenance for the first few years of ownership, and all companies cover their new vehicles for at least a few years after the purchase. Routine maintenance is a great way to avoid costly repairs over time, as itÂ’s much cheaper to catch a problem before it starts causing other issues. Check your oil, rotate your tires, and avoid driving like a wild person, and youÂ’ll likely fare much better than others, even if you own one of the scarier-to-maintain brands.

Porsche close to fix for 911 GT3 engine fires

Sun, 16 Mar 2014

It looks like 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 drivers might actually get to drive their cars again soon. Reports of fires affecting the track-ready Germans first began about a month ago. Then, a few days later, the automaker confirmed two of the five alleged blazes and said owners shouldn't drive their cars until further notice. Porsche then went so far as to offer to pick up the GT3s and transport them to the nearest dealer until the problem was identified and a fix was found. Finally, there appears to be a repair.
"We know the reason and the problem-solving measures. We're testing them," said Porsche CEO Matthias Müller to Bloomberg. The technical fix will be released to owners shortly.
The recall affects all 785 GT3s that have been sold so far, but there have been no reported injuries caused by the fires. When it first announced the safety campaign, Porsche said: "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet."
