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.

Porsche reveals new 911 GT3 R at the Nurburgring

Fri, May 15 2015

On any given weekend, you're bound to find gaggles of Porsche 911s zipping around most any race track. Now Porsche has revealed its latest competition model at no less fitting a location than the Nurburgring. The new 911 GT3 R replaces the existing version, slotting in below the 911 RSR. It's based closely on the road-going 911 GT3 RS, and retains the same 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six with direct injection and variable valve timing, but tuned to deliver over 500 horsepower, transmitted to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential paddle-shift gearbox and mechanical limited slip differential. The wheelbase has been stretched over three inches for better weight balance compared to the outgoing GT3 R, further optimized by more lightweight components and a central radiator to lower the center of gravity. The lightweight bodywork is made of aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber, and for the first time all of the glass (including the windscreen) has been replaced by plexi. Stopping power is provided by six-piston aluminum monoblock calipers gripping 380-millimeter steel discs up front, with four-piston calipers and 372-mm discs at the back. The safety fuel cell can now hold 120 liters of fuel with a cut-off safety valve, the doors and windows can be removed, and the escape hatch is bigger, too. All of this adds up to the promise of a more competitive GT3 R ready to take on the competition, available to privateer racing teams from December for 429,000 euros before tax – working out to about $487k at current exchange rates. World premiere at the Nurburgring Lighter, more economical, faster: the new 911 GT3 R Stuttgart. Based on the 911 GT3 RS production sports car, Porsche has designed a customer sport race car for GT3 series around the world: The 911 GT3 R. In developing the more than 368 kW (500 hp) racing nine-eleven, special attention was paid to lightweight design, better aerodynamic efficiency, reducing consumption, improved handling, further optimised safety as well as lowering service and spare parts costs. Adopted from its production sibling, the 911 GT3 R features the distinctive double-bubble roof, and the wheelbase which had been lengthened by 8.3 centimetres compared to the previous generation. This ensures a more balanced weight distribution and more predictable handling particularly in fast corners corners in comparison to the previous GT3 R.

LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 and Agera R take to Assen

Tue, 10 Jun 2014

It's the show-down (sort of) we've all been waiting for. The battle of the hybrid hypercars from the performance powerhouses of Europe: Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. No one publication has managed to get their hands on all three just yet, but this video has - and with a Koenigsegg Agera R thrown in for good measure.
The video was shot by our (unrelated) Dutch compatriots at Autoblog.nl at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands. The track has played host to Champ Cars and all manner of racing bikes, but this could be the ultimate grid of actual production machinery that's ever lined up behind its start/finish line. Shame the weather was rainy and this unsurpassed array of supercars weren't really racing - more showing off for the crowds. But what a show it was. Scope out the footage in the video below.

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?

Mon, Feb 27 2017

We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
