HISTORY:
Sold in 1957 by Concours Motors, Milwaukee to customer.
Concours was owned by Bill Wuesthoff who raced Porsche's at Sebring, mostly 718 - RS 60's (1961-1962), for Porsche Car Imports along with Augie Pabst and Bruce Jennings as well as a privateer in over 100 races, including the Nurburgring, Road America, Meadowdale, etc., etc..
First owner installed rally equipment including a rare Chrome Halda Speedpilot and Heuer 24 Hour Mastertime as well as a Sebring Stopwatch on the glove box.
He also installed a Derrington wood rimmed steering wheel with the rare double stalk turn signal and flasher combo that he got from Concours Motors and Marchal air horns.
Wuesthoff bought the car back for his personal use in 1959 and installed engine *P715495* sometime in the early-mid 60's. Being a works driver and dealer he had access to everything Porsche had to offer and a B engine was superior to an A engine in so many ways. Now we know better but that was then, this is now.
During the mid 60's (1963) the car was shipped to the Porsche family home where a cloisonn'e Zell-am-See badge was attached to the dash to commemorate the visit.
Present owner (me) bought the car in 1997 with 21,587 miles when a full mechanical restoration was done between 1997-99 in preparation for living abroad.
In 2000 the car was shipped to Geneve, Switzerland, via France, when owner was posted to the UN Diplomatic Corp. Instead of the usual, and ugly plastic current, CD Plate a very rare period "Oval" was obtained and mounted - much to the annoyance of the UN Bureaucracy who are not known to bend rules. On the other hand Porsche people are not accustomed to hearing "no" for an answer...
CONDITION - PRESENT:
NEVER Any Accidents and NEVER taken apart.
FULL mechanical restoration - Drive Anywhere, Anywhere.
Engine (Dick Weiss),
Transmission (Mile Robbins),
Suspension (Vic Skirmants),
Z Bar Powder coated.
Koni's, etc.
Dual Braking System for Safety.
Mileage of 28,252 is somewhat accurate. I say somewhat because the speedometer cable broke and I drove it a few thousand miles before replacing it. More miles will be put on weather permitting....
All work that was done and all the receipts are present as well as before and after engine specs. Some of the old parts were retained and are included.
Only the BEST parts were used. Sodium Filled Valves, ARP Fasteners, Big Bore, Mild and tractable Elgin Cam, Full Flow Oil System using a cast alloy finned Fram Head and a removable Cannon Filter Housing of the HP 6 size.(adds a full quart of oil to the system), 40 IDA Webers, Powder Coating, Cadmium (not bright zinc but real Cadmium) Plating, etc.
The Weber's have beautiful Period Alloy Velocity Stacks with a Wire Mesh "Bubble," that are covered by Cast and Finned Alloy Air Cleaner Housings. THAT"S attention to detail...
There are 3 full binders of receipts and documents that go with the car.
Still retains the original RED LEATHER interior which is in Excellent condition as is the headliner and other soft trim.
Very very presentable, car will drive anywhere as the engine, transmission and suspension were all redone with ALL new parts.
The car has PERFECT gaps and has never been taken apart. The opening panels are all matching numbers (010) and all the glass is original to this car.
The car would benefit with some attention to rust but is not necessary in the foreseeable future.
It comes with rare chrome 5.5 inch Fuchs wheels (not Brazilian Mangels) with Dunlop 185/65/15 tires as well as the correct date coded spare and Michelin X Spot.
Being owned by a dealer (1959-1997) all Porsche parts were used during it's lifetime. No "Home Depot" hardware or other non Porsche parts used.
I bought the car in 1997 and continued to use only Porsche parts whenever possible.
SPARES:
Some included, nothing that will make or break the deal but nice to have items like Relay's, etc.
WORK THAT SHOULD BE DONE:
Hook Up Turn Signal - Flasher.
Install Joe Leoni Headlight Kit (provided in price).
BRIEF WRITE UP:
This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a genuine T1 -2 sunroof coupe (originally, but not currently, in the most attractive color - Aquamarine) that has period and correct rally equipment since new along with some rare accessories and an impeccable and interesting history including a Factory Works Driver and Diplomatic Service. A car that has had ALL the mechanical work done.
For a LOT more money, you probably can find a better car but you can't buy history, ownership, color or provenance, period. It's the right car with the right equipment and the right history, no excuses.

The 2013, 90th anniversary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans has begun, tragedy marking the opening laps with the death of Allan Simonsen. We're at the track now as a guest of Audi and plan to stay through the evening, and even we haven't been able to find out what caused the accident - the only video is from just after the incident, and beyond the statement from ACO there's been no more news. The Aston Martin in the LM GTE Am class and its all-Danish drivers had taken pole in its class and was one of the favorites to win.
The pre-race report will come first, and even thought we can't spoil the race because we're only five hours into it at the time of writing, we'll put all of the news at the end in case you don't even want the updates.
Or you can go straight to the high-res galleries above.

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.

If there's one automaker that certainly doesn't skimp on the special edition models, it's Porsche, and here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we're getting our first look at yet another unique take on one of the company's most popular models. It's called the Cayenne Platinum Edition, and while many special models build off of higher-trim vehicles, this one adds a bit of flair to the most basic version of the luxury SUV.
The Platinum Edition is available on Cayennes with the base 3.6-liter V6 or the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. Platinum models are set apart from other models with the addition of silver exterior accents on the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler, as well as the two-tone, black-and-beige interior scheme. It also comes standard with the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, the Convenience Package and Bose audio.
The cost of entry? $63,000 for the naturally aspirated Cayenne or $66,900 for the diesel. That's a full $13,000 more than the base model, but Porsche says it's actually a bargain as opposed to selecting all of those options individually. Have a look below for Porsche's official release.
