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.

Drive-up bank robbery perpetrated with Cayenne and WRX
Sat, 14 Sep 2013Thieves carried out what appears to be a movie-script-perfect robbery of a bank in Sydney, Australia early on Friday morning, using two stolen high-performance vehicles in the process.
At around 11:15 AM local time, in near mid-day light, reports say that two men in masks smashed into the side of a Westpac bank in a confirmed-stolen black Porsche Cayenne. The perpetrators were armed with sledgehammers according to witness reports, and took only about five minutes to take what they were after inside of the bank.
The rapid getaway was executed in a Subaru WRX, also confirmed as a stolen vehicle, while witnesses snapped camera phone images of the illicit goings on. One Twitter user posted a few of the images to his social media feed; you can take a look at them in our small gallery below. Follow on down for the full video report, from The Sydney Morning Herald.
Porsche 911 Targa leaks out ahead of Detroit debut
Mon, 13 Jan 2014With the doors of Cobo Center opening for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Porsche is set to reveal its new 911 Targa in a matter of hours. But before it gets the chance, the first batch of images have already leaked out, courtesy of Chinese car site autohome.com.cn.
As expected, the new Targa appears to ditch the complex sliding glass roof panels that adorned recent versions of the semi-convertible 911 in favor of a more back-to-basics approach. An entirely removable roof panel opens up the sky, backed by a metallic B-pillar hoop in front of a large curved-glass rear window.
We'll have to wait just a little longer for the full scope of images and all the official details, but we're expecting the new Targa to carry most of the same technical specifications as the 991 on which it's based. Watch this space for more.
Lots of new cars were unveiled in Munich this week. Here's what you might've missed
Thu, Sep 9 2021The 2021 Munich Auto Show is happening this week and due to ongoing corporate travel restrictions, we remained firmly planted on this continent. So, although we can't tell you exactly what it's like inside the futuristic new Mercedes EQE electric sedan or fully appreciate the funky Volkswagen ID.Life concept, there's no shortage of details and analysis to provide. Obviously, as Germany's premier auto show in 2021, the cars unveiled were primarily from the German brands. We also focused mostly on the cars that might actually make their way to the United States, or at least inspire those that will. 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE is an electric alternative to the E-Class While the EQS paved the way for Mercedes' electrified future, much like the S-Class before it, the EQE stands to be the car that will move in far greater numbers -- much like the E-Class before it. Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 View 12 Photos Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept shows SUV future of the flagship brand Opulence will still have a place in an electrified future, as Maybach gets into the EQ game with a grand electric SUV. Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept View 4 Photos Volkswagen ID.Life concept previews the city car's high-riding EV future Well, isn't this adorable? Though perhaps a tad derivative of the Honda E, Volkswagen's blocky little crossover EV nevertheless represents a handsome new direction for VW design. We like this better than the rounded looks of the current ID.3 and ID.4. 2021 Volkswagen ID.Life concept View 20 Photos BMW i Vision Circular is a 100% recycled and recyclable hatch Behold, the next BMW 3 Series! Just kidding. Besides this, BMW displayed cars in person for the first time that it had previously only unveiled on the interwebs, including the new 2 Series and revised iX3. It also unveiled some bikes. BMW i Vision Circular Concept View 63 Photos Audi's GrandSphere concept was designed as a road-going private jet Does Audi know what a sphere is? Cause this isn't anything like one. Still, it's quite a handsome thing, and as one of three Sphere-branded concepts, previews the next direction of Audi design (which is pleasantly reminiscent of two-decade-old Mazda design). No complaints here. 2021 Audi GrandSphere concept View 26 Photos Porsche Mission R is a 1,000-horsepower electric monster Just like the Mission E previewed the Taycan, this apparently previews another future car.
