This 1960 Porsche 356B 1600S Roadster was purchased by the late Bill Hallack in 1969. Bill was a long term member of the 356 Registry and was an excellent mechanic. Many of his “Porsche buddies” in West Michigan benefited from his expertise and talents… always freely given. When Bill purchased the car 45 years ago, he was on active duty in the Air Force. He bought it from a Captain at the Grand Forks, ND air base where they served. Bill and the Captain were both active in local sports car racing and that hobby is where Bill honed his exceptional mechanical skills. As a result, this car runs extremely well and is very solid throughout. No shake, rattle or roll with this gem! The car comes with a Porsche COA with the following information: Vehicle ID: 87000 Model / Year / Type: 1960 356 1600S roadster Engine Number: 84973 616/2 Transmission: 32884 741/1 Exterior Paint Color/ / Code: Ivory 6004 (now a very pale yellow) Interior Material Color / Type: Red Leatherette (now black) An honest description of the car and its current condition follows: The car has never been wrecked. It was restored in the mid-1990’s but still presents itself in a driven but excellent condition. Bill drove the car with a “bra” which protected the front end since the restoration. He and his wife Linda attended numerous 356 Registry events on the East Coast, Southeast and Mid-West over the years. Per owner, this car retains the original floors, longitudinals and even battery box. Stored in heated and air conditioned garage and truly babied. I just learned from an old friend of Bill's that the front fenders were modified to look like 550 Spyder lines prior to Bill purchasing the car in 1969.This is the only metal that is not as delivered from the factory. This was NOT done due to a wreck.Price reduced to reflect cost of correcting front wheel arch openings Linda Hallack has asked me (Doug McDonnell) to help her sell this beautiful car. From 1969 until his passing in January of this year, Bill Hallack was the only person who ever drove the car. Starting this spring, the owner’s son and I have periodically “exercised” the car. Body panel gaps are good, but not perfect. Hood gaps are OK but not what they should be (could be adjusted). No evidence of rust, but just in front of the driver’s door there are a very few "bubbles" in an area about the size of the tip of your finger apparently due to a paint prep issue in this area. Bill said that the bubbles have not worsened since they first appeared shortly after the restoration. The car is NOT numbers matching. The current engine was rebuilt and installed about 1- 1/2 years ago and is low mileage. Current odometer reading turned 88,889 today and will go up a small amount since the car is occasionally driven. This is the true mileage since new! More photos and a video of the engine running are available. Can be seen by appointment only, is located in Gull Lake, Michigan. Please contact me with any questions or to arrange for an inspection. PPI’s are encouraged and welcome. Please ask any and all questions, they will be answered quickly and honestly. Bra sheepskin seat covers and 5 original wheels are included in sale. I reserve the right to sell outside auction as car is also advertised elsewhere.

Although Bill always said that the car had never been in an accident(and his widow confirms none since purchase in 1969) When I had the car on a lift 9/8/14 for underside photos,I think there is "rippling" of inner fender that is lateral wall of trunk on the passengers side. However I am not a bodyman,just son of a mechanic. Fender itself shows no sign of damage and passes refrigerator magnet test. Also when I drove the car today on the recommendation of a noted 356 restorer I put my finger on the rear door gap while going over bumps. No pinched finger!

2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Think of the electric motor in the facelifted 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as the cream filling in an Oreo cookie. Under the hood of this plug-in hybrid crossover is a 333-horsepower, supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 95-hp synchronous electric motor sandwiched between it and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The clutched powertrain allows pure combustion, pure electric or a combination of both to drive all four wheels through Porsche's permanent all-wheel-drive system.
Differentiating itself from the Panamera S E-Hybrid sedan, which shares the same basic powertrain and stores energy in a 9.4-kWh battery, the Cayenne crossover is fit with a more robust 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers an estimated pure-electric driving range of up to 22 miles at speeds of up to 78 miles per hour.
To be one of the very first US media members to sample Porsche's latest fuel-efficient crossover, the automaker flew us to Frankfurt, Germany, to test the five-passenger Cayenne S E-Hybrid on its home turf.

Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
