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.

2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.

An assortment of emblematic supercars is headed to auction
Sun, Sep 18 2022Auction house RM Sotheby's is giving enthusiasts the chance to bid on the supercars that they had posters of when they were kids. It's organizing a live sale in Miami, Florida, in December 2022 that's limited to 60 high-end models built between the 1970s and the 2010s. The oldest car in the catalog is a V12-powered 1974 Jaguar E-Type, though keep in mind that only 20 of the 60 available slots have been filled so far. At the other end of the spectrum, the newest model is currently a 2014 BMW M5. If your automotive tastes are firmly anchored in the 1980s, there's a wide selection of cars to choose from such as a 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition and a 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo with a flat-nose conversion. If your heart belongs in the 1990s, RM's sale includes a 1990 Lamborghini LM 002, a 1995 Ferrari 512 M, and a 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo. Bentley models and a 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR are among the newer classics. Carmakers weren't alone in pursuing speed, style, and extravagance in the 1980s; tuners fought hard for a piece of the pie as well, and RM's sale reflects that. Collectors will get the rare opportunity to bid on a number of pre-merger AMG models like a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 500SL 5.0 (R107), a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC 6.0 (C126) with a wide-body kit, and a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL 6.0 (W126). BMW-based Alpina models are well represented, too: RM accepted a pair of 6 Series-based 1987 B7 coupes and a 3 Series-based B6 2.8. There are several slots left so it's not too late to submit your car. If you're a buyer, plan on being in Miami on December 9 and 10, 2022. We suggest clearing up space in your garage first: every car is offered with no reserve, so the selling price will be the highest bid. Related Video This content is hosted by a third party.
