1955 Porsche 356 Speedster Intermeccanica 1 Of The Original 600 on 2040-cars
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
|
I just bought this car for a replacement to my 65 356 which I sold. I bought this car specifically because it HAD a hardtop. Well, the shipping company destroyed the hardtop or lost it and now there is no hardtop. I am moving 3 hours away for work and am losing my garage. A car with no top doesn't really work well without indoor storage. If you check you will see I am selling 2 other cars as well. So here is what I can tell you. This is one of the original 660 Intermecannica Speedsters built in the 70's. That's another reason I took a liking to this car. It has been verified by intermeccanica. It has the correct hinges. It was built in 1978 and has just over 33k miles. The engine is freshly rebuilt with less than 300 miles and runs like a dream and is oil leak free. There are many authentic period pieces on this car. For example, the steering wheel alone is a 2-4k piece if you can find one. The shifter knob, the license plate shine down, etc are all vintage 356. The gauges are early 912 but still look right because they are Porsche gauges. The floor pans are solid and are heavy gauge steel. The car is /was built to be a gulf tribute (obviously), but also has an outlaw Patina look that adds to the authenticity. There is pitting in the chrome, a small crack on the windshield, the shipper put a tarp on the car after "losing" the top, so there is burn through (as pictured) on the front fender. There is a pretty good amount of stress cracking in the paint which is really invisible unless you try really hard to look for it.. So in general, you are buying a patina 356 replica. I personally think it looks much cooler than the dolled up cars that look like rolling show pieces. There is a full tonneau that covers the upholstery, and a soft top that isn't really functional at all. Finally there is a speedster hump that attaches behind the seats. In the pics it is just resting on top of the tonneau. It actually fits snug and looks good. The upholstery is in good shape but there is no carpet. A carpet kit and all other pieces for this car are easily gotten and not expensive. Finally, I am including an extra set of wide 5 10 slot wheels because I know not everyone likes the orange Empis. I have to move by August 15th so I need to sell this and have it gone by then. I am going NO RESERVE so hopefully I will not need to list it twice. Do not bid and then disappear. Call me with any questions 410 215 5977. Attention Canadians, this car registers as a 68 VW, so you can import it easily. It is a VW pan and not a tube frame. You won't find a Speedster for low money anymore, they are going up, so get this one now while it is still a deal, do some work and earn some profit. Denis |

Porsche releases special edition 911 GTS Club Coupe
Wed, Jan 21 2015Porsche is never afraid to add one more variant of the 911 to the lineup, but its latest inclusion to the range is being kept extra limited, to keep things super special. The automaker is building just 60 examples of the 911 GTS Club Coupe, and only members of the Porsche Club of America can order them. The organization fittingly celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. Prices for 59 of the cars start at $136,060, plus $995 destination, with deliveries in June, and club members can win the last car (the showcar) as a prize. Mechanically, these vehicles take the 430-horsepower engine, wider body and rest of the updates from the regular 911 GTS, but all of these come in a unique color called Club Blau. The cobalt shade gets set off with black frames around the bi-xenon headlights, tinted taillights and black chrome exhaust outlets. The limited coupes also get a vintage-inspired ducktail rear spoiler and 20-inch Sport Classic wheels in a mix of semi-gloss black and polished metal that evoke the look of the classic Fuchs wheels on older 911s. For added contrast inside, the seat stitching, seat belts and tachometer are offset in red. Plus, the trim for the dashboard, doors and center console features carbon fiber. Capping things off, a plaque reading "GTS Club Coupe 60 Years Porsche Club of America" is near the glovebox. Being a Porsche, there are still options on these special models. The Extended Club Coupe Package goes so far as to include the key painted in Club Blau and adds leather-edged floormats. A custom car cover is also available. Check out the gallery to pick out all of the stylish tweaks for these celebratory 911s. GTS CLUB COUPE REVEALED IN THE NEW PCNA HEADQUARTERS AT ONE PORSCHE DRIVE Porsche celebrates 60th anniversary of Porsche Club of America with limited-edition 911 model Atlanta. Celebrating six decades of the largest Porsche club organization in the world, Porsche Cars North America is commemorating this milestone with a 60 unit limited-production run of the Club Coupe based on the 911 Carrera GTS. Known as the GTS Club Coupe, the 430 hp sports car is painted in a color unique to this model appropriately named "Club Blau," which was created exclusively for this anniversary edition by the Porsche Club of America.
Ferrari Speciale and Porsche GT3 make the trip to Le Mans
Thu, Aug 6 2015Call it a pilgrimage. Call it a right of passage. The bottom line is that every racing fan should make the trip to Le Mans at some point. All the better if you can do it in style, as Evo has for this latest video. Instead of taking any old car through the Chunnel and along the French countryside to the famous Circuit de la Sarthe, Evo made the trip in the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3. Both are more extreme versions of the already capable sports cars. They're still naturally aspirated, drive the rear wheels through seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions, and both won top honors in Evo's car of the year awards upon their release. And we could hardly imagine better vehicles for the journey. Along the way, the convoy-of-two stopped by the side of the old Rouen-Les-Essarts circuit. Back in the 1950s and 60s it was regarded as one of Europe's finest street circuits, hosting the French Grand Prix five times. It was closed down and paved over in the decades that followed, and is today part of a public thoroughfare – but you can still drive around it and see some of the relics of its former self peering through.

Porsche picks Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Russian-born tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has just inked a three-year deal with Porsche to be its brand ambassador, a position that will put her on a global campaign for the German automaker. The 26-year-old athlete isn't new to the role - she previously signed a similar three-year deal with Land Rover in 2006.
"Maria Sharapova is an exceptional athlete. She combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power. These are precisely the qualities that are embroiled in our sports cars," explained Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche AG, during the announcement. "Her profile and charisma are an ideal fit for Porsche. She is also highly respected around the world and enjoys an outstanding reputation," he added.
Some consider Porsche's choice of a female tennis player as its ambassador interesting, if not surprising. The automaker has traditionally marketed its vehicles with a masculine edge - Sharapova and the sport of tennis position the brand in a different light - likely an intentional decision. Do you think Porsche's choice was a good one? If not, who would you choose as its global ambassador?
