Porsche 356 B with matching numbers engine*. An original vehicle
in need of a complete restoration. This is my fourth such restoration 356 that I have
owned. I have restored some fully
and others partially, but all the others have now been sold (when the body is
painted, people will start enquiring – and the offers will flow until you receive
one that you just can’t refuse! – that’s been my experience). I no longer possess the time and
inclination to complete this last one, due to the birth of my twins. This
vehicle epitomizes the classic Porsche style and quality of yesteryear. The quintessential Porsche for every
collector, and a necessary addition to any real car collection. This particular vehicle will require rust restoration in the usual places for these vehicles, but there is a lot of life left in her, and the thick paint has protected a lot of the outside panels.
This is the iconic sports car that started the Porsche Company
and its racing legacy. If you would like to have a car that will continue
to appreciate in value and be useable as an every day dependable and fun
vehicle to drive, while only sipping gasoline, this may be the vehicle for you.
The continuous rise in the price of these iconic vehicles guarantees
that you will have made a sound automotive investment that will pay you
dividends for years to come. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche the 356 has always been popular with both the public
and the motoring press. In 2004, Sports Car International
ranked the 356 tenth on their list
of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. Today, the Porsche 356 is a highly regarded collector
car. Thousands of owners worldwide maintain the 356 traditions, preserving
their cars and driving them regularly. The US-based 356 Registry on its website
states that it is "...world's largest classic Porsche club."
Classic Porsches in general, and the 356 in particular were meant to be
driven by drivers who possessed real skill and ability. They sold to those who desired and coveted
the hand made quality of true craftsman, and they were built in limited numbers. Unlike today’s cookie cutter computer
controlled cars that are built to appeal to the largest segment of the
population possible, these appealed to drivers, real drivers and connoisseurs. They have never been cheap, and will
never be cheap to buy, but they are easy to own – German engineering and Bosch electrical
components. The new corporate approach
for Porsche vehicles is a response to market surveys. Whereas the original
Porsches were meant to be driven by real drivers and win races, new Porsches
are designed to be driven by everyone and anyone who can afford the price of
admission. With all their gadgetry and gimmicks, they make a bad driver look
good, and a good driver look great.
Personally, I would prefer to see this go to an individual who will
restore it themselves, as I planned, but considering the make, model and the current
market, I understand and accept that it likely will be snapped up by a
collector or professional restorer.
*The gentlemen I purchased the vehicle from represented that it is the original engine from the factory; I have not verified it with Porsche. Sold as is where is with no express or implied warranty of fitness for any particular purpose. |

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron
Thu, Feb 23 2017Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.

Felicity Ace sinks with thousands of VWs, Porsches, Lamborghinis
Tue, Mar 1 2022The stricken ship Felicity Ace sank overnight after a week of salvage efforts ultimately proved unsuccessful. The ship, which was carrying up to 4,000 VW Group cars, went to the bottom unexpectedly while a salvage team was attempting to tow it to shore, Bloomberg reports. "Initial reports from the local salvage team state that the vessel had sunk at around 9AM local time having suffered a list to starboard," Mitsui O.S.K. Lines transportation company (MOL), which owns the Felicity Ace, said in a statement released early Tuesday.  "The last vessel position was around 220nm off the Azores," MOL said. "The salvage crafts will remain around the area to monitor the situation. Further information will be provided as it becomes available." The ship sank after being battered by waves and listing 45 degrees to starboard, the ship’s operator said. “The weather was pretty rough out there,” Pat Adamson, a spokesperson for MOL Ship Management (Singapore), a unit of Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd., said by phone. “And then she sank, which was a surprise.” VW, Porsche, Audi, Bentley and Lamborghini-branded models were aboard the ship, which was headed to Rhode Island from GermanyÂ’s Emden port when the fire broke out on Feb. 16. Rough seas and ongoing fires fueled by the lithium-ion batteries of EVs onboard delayed the ship's salvage and recovery operations for the better part of a week. While the likelihood of salvaging the smoke and potentially fire- and water-damaged vehicles from Felicity Ace's hold was slim to none, some had held out hope that their special-ordered vehicles might survive the mishap. The Panama-flagged Felicity Ace was safely evacuated of its 22 crew members by the Portuguese navy after a fire started in its hold more than a week ago. The ship can carry up to 4,000 cars. European carmakers declined to discuss how many vehicles and what models were on board, but it appears to have been transporting approximately 2,500 cars, including roughly 1,100 Porsches and an undetermined number of Volkswagens. The cars aboard were on order. Porsche customers in the United States were being contacted by their dealers, the company said. “We are already working to replace every car affected by this incident and the first new cars will be built soon,” Angus Fitton, vice president of PR at Porsche Cars North America, Inc., told The Associated Press in an email. The ship sank in water nearly 10,000 feet deep, the Portuguese Navy said.
Touring Italy in a classic Porsche will have you feeling continental
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It's hard to believe there was a time when a Porsche 911 didn't come to market with 400 horsepower. But as the latest video from Petrolicious reminds us, with this video of a 1968 911T, owned by Donato Maniscalco, that time wasn't so long ago.
You might think, being a distinguished man living in Italy, Maniscalco would be more enthused by a Ferrari, Maserati, or Lamborghini, but in reality, it was always Porsche that enamored the Italian as a boy. And it was that passion that led him to purchase the glorious 911T he's seen tossing about in this video.
Maniscalco goes into detail about what makes the old 911 such a legend, while also mentioning how he and the car participate in classic rallies and races. There's also some typically beautiful footage of the Italian countryside, as well. So take a look below for the latest video from Petrolicious.
