Up for sale is my 1965 C Sunroof Coupe, with electric sunroof, original California car, registration shows the car was originally sold and tagged in 1965 in California. The last production year of the 356, best of the 356s with disc brakes and better driveability than earlier models, this car having the hard to find electric sunroof option. Registration shows car resided in Los Angeles until just recently.  Super solid pans, the pans are original to the car and look good with no rust or perforations. All jack points are solid with no rust as well and longitudinals are excellent.  Battery box has one slit about 7 inches long but otherwise is excellent. Doors close well with the characteristic Porsche "thunk" and hood and engine lid close neatly and evenly as well. Electric sunroof opens and closes with factory mounted switch under left side of dash. The sunroof appears as though it could use a little adjustment judging from the paint scraped off on top of the sunroof but it does open and close. Original color was dolphin grey as can be seen on the underside of the doors. Car was repainted many years ago metallic blue. Paint has scratches but has a nice shine to it. Can be driven as it is until restoration is undertaken to return the car to its original color, if so desired. Interior is original, original carpeting, original seats and headliner. All showing some wear but nice to find one with the original interior as it came from the factory. Speedometer, odometer, tachometer and gas gauge and oil pressure light all work.

Engine runs very well and "takes the gas". This is a non-numbers matching car and the engine has a third piece that is not stamped. The third piece of the engine is blank.  Clutch and transmission are fine. All new shift bushings were installed and the car shifts through all 4 forward gears well and cleanly as does reverse. All 4 brake calipers were removed from the car, were then totally disassembled and cleaned with solvent and brake cleaner and high pressure air. Then they were media blasted and painted high temperature silver. Each caliper was then rebuilt with new seals and dust covers and then installed. New rubber brake lines were installed on each wheel. The car stops evenly and on a "dime". Since the car sat for so many years (last registration is 1976), the gas tank was not usable since the gasoline had turned to varnish. A new tank was ordered from Stoddards Porsche parts and installed along with a new fuel shutoff valve. Also new correct rubber fuel lines were installed. The engine runs without hesitation and there is no worries that sediment or dirt will get into the fuel system of the car. With a quick turn of the ignition switch the car starts right up and you are ready to drive off almost immediately.  

Here is a link to over 150 pictures of the car:

Porsche finally gives up the goods on 2014 Macan

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Preparing a beachhead in the marketplace for the 2014 Porsche Macan crossover has been a years-long project for the German company. We've been hearing and reporting on rumors of the vehicle from its ideation stage and have covered the Macan's birth thoroughly over the last 12 months, including teasers, rumors, spy shots, leaked videos and more. Now, just ahead of the LA Auto Show-debut of Porsche's first-ever compact crossover, the wait for details is at an end.
Porsche will offer the crossover in two flavors to start: Macan S and Macan Turbo. The S model will be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that makes 340 horsepower and will push the vehicle from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds, then on to a top speed of 156 miles per hour. The Macan Turbo has even more impressive figures on all fronts: an all-new, 400-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine; 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds; top speed of 164 mph. Both models make use of Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard.
As impressive as these potent powertrains are the brakes Porsche is fitting to its new crossover. Six-piston monobloc fixed-caliper brakes live up front, grabbing 13.78-inch discs on the S model and tremendous 14.17-inch discs on the Macan Turbo. We're expecting serious stopping performance, to say the least.

Porsche rolls out new 919 Hybrid at racing gala

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

That Porsche is returning to Le Mans next year with a top-tier LMP1 entry is no news - we've known that for some time. We've even seen pictures of the car in question undergoing testing at various racetracks across Europe, been told who'll be driving it and given some basic parameters of what will make it go. We just haven't known what to call it, but now we do.
In detailing its full endurance racing program for next year at its Night of Champions in Weissach, Porsche has revealed that its new LMP1 racecar will be called the 919 Hybrid. So, something like the 918 Spyder, only one faster. With a four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors, the 919 Hybrid will be taking on the top class at Le Mans next year, with a compelling roster of drivers on the docket: along with Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani, Porsche has assigned its works driver Marc Lieb and F1 test driver Brendon Hartley to the effort. But that's not all Porsche has in store.
The factory is also supporting teams that will campaign the 911 RSR in the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as the United SportsCar Championship here in the US, taking Porsche off the pit wall and right in the race seat for next year as part of a comprehensive new racing program, details of which you can read in the press release below.

Weekly Recap: Mercedes continues the pseudo-coupe craze with AMG-tuned CUV

Sat, Dec 13 2014

But as BMW's X6 has demonstrated, sport sells in in the crossover segment, and Mercedes is giving the people what they want. BMW proved there is a market for crossover utility vehicles designed to look like coupes – as much as a vehicle with four doors and noticeable ground clearance can look like a coupe, anyway. Now comes the reply from Mercedes-Benz: the GLE Coupe. The rakish crossover is a harbinger of things to come from Mercedes, as it begins the company's transition to a new nomenclature and marks the debut of the AMG Sport line. It also continues the recent coupe craze. Designers from many automakers, like Nissan and Volkswagen, have increasingly turned to swoopy, dramatic styling to make utility vehicles and sedans seem more desirable. By revealing the GLE 450 AMG Sport model first, Mercedes is clearly hoping to cast the GLE Coupe as a sportier, lifestyle-oriented alternative in its lineup of beefy crossovers and SUVs. Mercedes used the word "sport," or a variation of it, 53 times in its press release, so uh yeah, it's sporty. It's not an empty promise: Benz means business with the AMG Sport line. This GLE Coupe gets a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 rated at 362 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque paired with Mercedes' new nine-speed automatic transmission, and it runs with 4Matic all-wheel drive. Specs on the other GLE Coupe models were not disclosed. But as BMW's X6 has demonstrated, sport sells in in the crossover segment, and Mercedes is giving the people what they want. After all, more than 260,000 people have bought X6s since 2008, and Mercedes wants a piece of that. From certain angles, the GLE Coupe even looks vaguely like an X6. "This is really a vehicle that is all about status," said Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager for research firm AutoPacific. "You can buy a SUV that doesn't have the inherent qualities of a SUV, such as cargo hauling. People will likely be drawn to the looks. Coupes are all the rage." BMW, however, isn't running from the fight, and the updated 2015 X6 is arriving in showrooms this month. It also added a smaller sibling, the X4, to its coupe-crossover stable in July. The GLE Coupe arrives next year, though Mercedes hasn't specified exactly when it will hit showrooms from the factory in Alabama, or specified details on the rest of the non-AMG Sport models. In 2008, it was surprising the X6 was a hit. In 2015, it will be even more surprising if the GLE Coupe isn't.
