1958 PORSCHE 356 SPEEDSTER CALIFORNIA CAR-SAME OWNER FOR OVER 33 YEARS! OFFERED FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER THREE DECADES!
In the early 80's, after a considerable amount of searching, the current owner purchased a super original, rust free, un-molested example of the iconic Porsche 356 Speedster. Critical in his search were the following criteria;
Although an extremely nice original example when purchased, the new owner had the desire and wherewithall to enhance the condition of his new aquisition. With the help of some of the best craftsmen in Southern California, he was able to preserve and upgrade his Speedster to the level at which it is presented for sale today.
BODY AND PAINTWORK- The body panels and sheetmetal are original to the car, which has never suffered from rust or rot. Before the car was repainted over 25yrs. ago, it was stripped to bare metal and metal finished so that an absolute minimum of any type of filler was used. It was resprayed in the correct Porsche Ruby Red, the same color it left the factory and for which it is coded. Although the paint is almost 25 years old, it could pass as having been painted within the last five years. As is the case with most high quality respays, there are no signs of checking or dullness in the finish. Within the last 5 years, Coachcraft, of Filmore CA. was retained to freshen-up various areas of the Speedster. Over $25,000. was spent to detail and freshen-up various areas such as engine compartment and undercarriage, pull and reseal the engine, rebuild carburators, rebuild the trans-axle, new shocks, brakes etc. A comprehensive list of work performed can be supplied to interested parties.
INTERIOR AND TOP- In approximately 1989 the interior and top were completely refurbished by Thomas Tops of Hollywood California, well known in Porsche circles for their exacting and authentic interiors and tops. The scope of work performed included rebuilding and covering the Speedster leather bucket seats, new German square-weave carpeting and correct rubber floor mats, new German canvas convertible top and side curtains, new leather dash cover, new leather door panels and a vinyl top tonneau. The cost was over $6,500.00 and the quality speaks for itself. Although 25yrs.old, the interior and top are still in excellent condition and look virtually new. OVERALL CONDITION- Most trim and mouldings are original to the car and are in very nice to excellent condition. The wheels are obviously not correct and are the wider 15" wheels typically installed to enhance handling. The Nardi steering wheel was on the car when purchased, the original steering wheel is not with the car. The Speedster is available for inspection by appointment to serious qualified bidders.

Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.
The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959
Thu, Apr 9 2015There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.

6 car mashups that God never intended
Sat, May 17 2014In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.
