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.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.

Porsche recalls new 911 models over exhaust pipe issues

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Porsche, though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, announced a voluntary recall on about 2,200 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models built during the 2012 and 2013 model years. On cars equipped with the standard exhaust system it was found that the tailpipes could separate from the mufflers and become dangerous road debris; models that added the optional sport exhaust system are not included in this recall.
Affected vehicles were built between March and November of last year, but there have been no reports of the problem on any customer-owned vehicles. Porsche first noticed a cracked tailpipe weld on a test vehicle back in May, and since then has found similar problems on other internally owned vehicles, all with more than 25,000 miles on the clock. To fix the problem, dealers will be replacing the mufflers. Scroll down to read the official notice.
