Up for sale is my 1960 Porsche 356 B Coupe "Driver", which runs and drives just great, 1965 SC engine is very strong, clutch and transmission are very smooth, transmission built by Vic Skirmants, engine built locally by a "Porsche engine man", this car just runs and drives like a scalded rabbit! Mechanically very strong, all lights work, turn signals, headlights, brake lights, parking lights, horn, gauge lights, brakes stops on a dime, emergency brake holds on a hill! The car retains its original 6 volt system and the charging system work perfectly. The engine starts even on cold mornings with 2 presses of the accelerator pedal, a turn of the key and it then roars to life!! The engine is number 813798. It is a 1965 SC engine.

Mechanically this car has been very well maintained over the years by the owner/mechanic. He used this car as his daily driver for many years driving from Raleigh to Research Triangle Park (about 20 miles one way) until his retirement. After he retired he continued to maintain the car and I had seen it in Raleigh being driven on occasion. I purchased the car because I wanted a 356 I could jump in and drive. I am using the car as my daily driver as well. It is hard to find one where everything works and that you can drive care free. Even the heater tubes work and as you go down the road you can feel warm air entering the cabin via the side heater vents in the car.

The car was originally silver and needs to be repainted. The body and floors are very solid. I have posted over 80 pictures as a link. You will find pictures of the longitudinals and the floors. All are very solid. There was a minor repair on the passenger side longitudinal some years back. It is solid but you can see the repair. The battery box has also been repaired with metal welded in. While not beautiful it is solid. All glass is in very good condition with no cracks. Door windows go up and down with ease, vent windows work perfectly and rear quarter windows open and close and latch just like they came from the factory. The car retains its original red interior with red german weave carpet and red door panels which is in very good condition. Driver side seat is original and shows some wear, but is original. The dash is very nice with no cuts nor extra holes. The original radio works and the speaker for the radio is in the back seat. The hood pull works perfectly and the engine lid pull works perfectly as well. Tires are all radials and the car "tracks" well going down the road--good and straight. When the brakes are applied the car does not pull to any one side.

Here is a link to over 80 photos of the car:

This car is the reason to own a Porsche 356. It is just so much fun to drive and everyone looks at you as you go down the road. The previous owner in fact told me that I drive the car too "softly", that I really need to put my foot into it. We went for a test drive with him driving it and he drives it to squeeze every ounce of power and speed out of the engine. I asked him about this and he said, "...drive this car hard, it can stand it". He built the engine and it has a transmission rebuilt by Vic Skirmants with approximately 3000-4000 miles on it. So I now follow his advice and just have a ball everytime I take it out. Rarely do you find one like this. This is what these cars were meant to do. I understand and respect a beautifully restored 356 but I am too afraid to drive it, worrying the whole time that I might get a stone chip in the paint or a door ding if I park it at the supermarket. With this car I just drive it and have fun.

2015 Porsche 911 GTS starts at $114,200*

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Purists often criticize Porsche for creating products like the Cayenne, Panamera and recently launched Macan, saying they dilute the true sports car spirit of the brand. It's an argument we've heard before, and one we counter with two points. First: No they don't. And second: These are Porsche's volume superstars, and the money they rake in allows the company to create dozens of versions of its well-liked sports cars. Want proof? Have a look at the gallery above, where you'll see four new versions of the 911, all with GTS badges on their rumps. This means Porsche now offers 19 versions of the 911. Nineteen.
Porsche offered a GTS version of the 911 in its previous generation, and this new one seeks to slot somewhere between the standard car and the hardcore GT3. It's available in coupe and cabriolet forms, with either rear- or all-wheel drive, starting at $114,200, *not including $995 for destination. The GTS Cabriolet comes in at $126,100, while models equipped with AWD will set you back $120,900 or $132,800 for the coupe or convertible, respectively.
All GTS models get the 430-horsepower version of the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six with the Powerkit, which also includes the Sport Chrono package and the sport exhaust. If equipped with the PDK dual-clutch transmission, the 911 GTS will hit 60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds (or four seconds flat, if you've got the Cabriolet) - one tenth of a second quicker than the normal Carrera S. The car's top speed varies, depending on trim or transmission, but Porsche says the car will hit anywhere from 187 to 190 mph, flat out.

Porsche considering turbo for new GT3 RS [w/poll]

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Some automakers make one hardcore version of a sports car and are done with it. Or at least they make one at a time. Think Ferrari 458 Speciale, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (or Super Trofeo Stradale or Squadra Corse) or Maserati GranTurismo MC. But not Porsche. It transforms the 911 into the hard-core GT3, the even harder-core GT3 RS, the you've-got-to-be-psychotic GT2 and the do-you-have-a-death-wish GT2 RS. The RS models take things to a further extreme, but what separates GT3 from GT2 models has traditionally been the use of foced induction: GT3s are naturally aspirated, while GT2s go turbo. But that could all be about to change.
According to the rumors making their round of the webosphere, Porsche is considering using a turbocharged engine for the next GT3 RS. The reason is that, as we all know, Porsche has already pushed the 3.8-liter flat-six in the existing GT3 about as far as it can go, and then some. And buyers expect not only a more bare-bones package with the GT3 RS, but also a bit of extra power.
Given that everything seems to be going turbo these days, the move might make some measure of sense, especially if Porsche wants to avoid with the GT3 RS the spontaneous combustion issues it faced with the GT3. But we can't help but wonder why, at that point, it wouldn't just skip the GT3 RS and go straight for the GT2.
