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;  

  •          Rust free and without body damage
  •          Correct and as authentic as possible, without modifications
  •          Factory correct color, preferably Ruby Red
  •          Original matching number drivetrain

                     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.

Porsche has doubled US sales to women [w/videos]

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Porsche is having a good sales year in the US, with 25,129 vehicles delivered year-to-date coming off the automaker's best July sales ever. That's a 31-percent increase over the same period last year (19,253 deliveries). With year-to-date Panamera sales a surprising 36 percent lower than last year, what possibly could be driving Porsche's sales surge? If you answered Cayman and Boxster sales, you're right. But dealerships are noticing another factor: more women are coming in to buy Porsches, CNBC reports, the bulk of whom picked up new Cayenne SUVs. The German automaker's sales to women in the US have more than doubled in the past two years, increasing from 7 percent to 15 percent. This has helped year-to-date Cayenne sales reach 11,082 - 31 percent higher than the same time last year.
Porsche executives have been trying to tap into the women's market, as evidenced in part by the company's move to pick professional tennis player Maria Sharapova as a brand ambassador. Porsche maintains it has not moved to dramatically change its brand image, but it has shown a number of ads in recent years that uncharacteristically emphasize its vehicles' practicality under the "Engineered for Magic. Everyday" banner - some featuring female drivers.
Be sure to watch CNBC's video report on Porsche's female movement below - you'll also find one of the aforementioned Engineered For Magic ads as well as an interesting case study video on the campaign from ad agency Cramer-Krasselt.

Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach

Sun, Aug 16 2015

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.
