Up for auction is a rare 1957 Porsche 356A Sunroof Coupe. I purchased the car in the 1990's and was restoring the car. I'm relocating overseas with my job and have decided to part with the car. It really was a barn find and a time capsule! It had been in Florida, and had been up in Connecticut after that where it sat until I found her. I got the Car home, changed oil, and what was in the tank, put in new points and gas and a new battery and remarkably got the car running again. As you can see from the interior pics the color was originally red with beige interior.
Work Done: Engine was rebuilt, Transmission overhauled, brakes rebuilt, new wheel cylinders, master cylinder etc. brake lines, silicone fluid, drums skimmed and polished, all new ball joints, transmission mounts etc., steering overhauled but rubber puck not yet replaced. New floor with all panels longitudinals, etc. it was replaced nose to tail using Stoddard parts, door pillars in front and behind doors replaced see pics ( surface rust) doors re skinned. Tank removed, cleaned, resealed and refitted, new fuel lines etc. door shims are missing, restorer who was working on the car got very sick towards the end of the work he did - I had to get the car back after he passed away. The work he did on the floors was beautiful, he had restored 20 plus 356's, so he knew what he was doing. The car needs body, paint interior and TLC - I got to drive the car before restoration, I was amazed how well it handled and drove for a 1957 vintage vehicle. Any questions contact me, serious bidders only - I am an honest ebayer, I expect you to be also. payment by wire xfer or certified check with 24 hours of auction closing. I reserve the right to finish the auction early as the vehicle is being advertised locally also. Don't let this one get away - it will make a stunning car! I don't have a title, transaction will be a bill of sale, I can register the car and get a title at buyers expense if necessary.
good luck bidding!

2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival
Thu, Aug 13 2015Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.
Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer
Mon, 07 Oct 2013An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
