Greetings Fellow Ebay-er's!

What we have for auction this beautiful Saturday morning in Grass Valley, California 95949 is a black plate, panels-matching, numbers-matching California survivor 1966 Porsche 911 in Artic White, black leather front seats and black leatherette rear seats with a front anti-roll bar, Blaupunkt in-dash AM-FM radio, fog lights, factory air conditioning and factory-installed gas heater; a real time-machine!  The Certificate of Authenticity has yet to arrive but a phone call to Porsche North America confirmed the numbers and options; we were told the printed version should arrive in a week or two.
The biggest killer of the early 911 cars is rust but this car is 99.9% rust-free, with the only spot of rust being on the driver-side C-pillar towards the rear grill; all other suspect areas are free of rust.  There is some surface rust under the hood, but check out the pictures for a closer look.  The real beauty of this car is its lack of damage, with no filler or replaced panels anywhere.  Very remarkable for a 47 year old Porsche 911 car.  For anyone wanting to have access to perfect panels, well, this is your car!
The car comes with all of its original documentation, receipts and manuals, including the 911 Owner's manual, the 911/912 Accessories manual and the original Blaupunkt number card, installation and operating instructions.  Check out the pictures for the manual shots; more pics of the other docs on request.
The car had been sitting for a while so the gas tank was removed, not-tanked, sealed and re-installed.  All rubber gas lines have been replaced, along with the brake master cylinder, front rubber and metal brake lines, just to be safe.  The original parts removed are included with the auction.
The car has had some modifications to the engine area over the decades, including a Bursch exhaust, Weber 40mm IDA from a later "S", an after market capacitive discharge ignition system, a solid-state fuel pump and a Mallory old school, hot-rod coil, which is very cool!  The car runs very strong and idles smoothly, as it should since, according to the receipts, the engine was rebuilt 3500 miles ago.
The tires are in like-new condition but are quite old and should be replaced with a tire comparable to this car's performance potential.  The five steel wheels are the originals, all stamped 3/66 and from the same manufacturer with the same off-set, and four hub-caps are included.  The chrome steel wheels are showing a bit of their age and could use a clean-up, and possible a re-chrome.
The VIN is 304466 and the engine number is 907688, just like the COA says.  I don't have the trans number now but the car will go on the lift today for some under-side shots, so I'll get that listed ASAP.
The car is a real find and virtually all original; even the original shift knob is included, along with a touch-up container of white paint and the original seat belts.  Also included are a pair of Pasadena Bursch license late frames in very good condition with no cracks.  The car does need a re-spray from being exposed to the elements for so long, but it is a worthy car.
Bid early and bid often!  Please, no calls from ANY dealers asking what the reserve is.  No calls from ANY dealers touting themselves as "paying top dollar for your Porsche" because that just isn't true.  Free market auctions will decide what the cost of this car actually is, so bid to win.
This car is being sold as-is with no warranty implied.  I have described this car as accurately as I can; feel free to email or call to discuss the car.

Thanks, and Happy Bidding!

I just realized I took the engine bay pictures without the air cleaner; rest assured it does come with its original air cleaner.


thanks!

On Apr-16-13 at 19:46:58 PDT, seller added the following information:

I've added three under-car pictures, and I have reached my picture limit on Ebay.  If you have any need for any other pictures, feel free to ask and I'll send them directly, literally and figuratively.


The bottom of the car shows a few dents, but nothing that can't be fixed.  And no structural rust.  

The exhaust pipe for the gas-heater is rusted through and will need to be replaced.

The passenger-side heater exchanger has a hole in it, so that will need to replaced.

The car comes with two extra fan/alternator belts; a Continental-branded and one Porsche-branded.

Also, if you'd like to view the car, hear it run and/or peek inside, send an email and I'll send you my address.

Since the car is being advertised locally, I reserve the right to end this auction at any time.

Thanks!

Porsche to only build next Panamera in Leipzig?

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

Manufacture of the next-generation Porsche Panamera could be moving, if a report from Reuters is true. The current-generation Panamera range has its bodies welded together and painted at a Volkswagen facility in Hanover before being shipped to Leipzig where final assembly takes place.
According to Reuters, Porsche is looking to cut VW out of the equation and focus production of the Panamera in Leipzig. While this could cost 800 of the 14,300 workers at Hanover their jobs, it's not entirely clear what Porsche stands to gain by the move. It recently invested 50- million euros (about $680 million at today's rates) on a paint and body shop for its Leipzig factory, ostensibly so the facility could have Macan production underway by that car's spring 2014 on-sale date. If the facility was also designed with next-generation Panamera production in mind, then Porsche's decision to put all of its eggs in one basket could make a lot of sense. It currently ships the semi-completed Panameras from Hanover to Leipzig, a distance of around 160 miles by road, and presumably it's a costly and time-consuming process.
The Leipzig factory produced 27,000 Panameras last year, although it's unclear just what its production capacity really is. Besides the Panamera and the upcoming Macan, the factory also builds the Porsche Cayenne.

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.

Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356

Wed, 14 May 2014

Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
