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.

Porsche 911 and Citro"en DS lovechild would look like this

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

The early Porsche 911 and the Citroën DS were two cars produced in the same era (though the DS launched in 1955, nearly 10 years before the 911), but they were vastly different from each other. The 911 was a uniquely German, pure-bred sports car, while the French-built DS had four doors and focused more on ride quality than sporting intentions. That made it all the more surprising when we came across the 911DS, a creation that binds the rear half of the Citroën to the front of an early, longhood 911.
The folks at Brandpowder are behind the creation, which we surmise was an exercise in design rather than an actual, completed project (some of the images look Photoshopped), but it's compelling nonetheless, with a turbocharged flat-six providing 260 horsepower. We hope someone builds it - though we're sure if that happened the early 911 crowd would cry afoul at one of its increasingly rare and valuable Porsches being grafted onto an old French car.
But as Brandpowder points out lightheartedly, perhaps the creation could transcend popular car culture: "The 911DS represents the effort of two countries, a genuine attempt to join their energy and talent into one thing. We hope Germany and France will be inspired by Brandpowder's story, as a metaphor for a better and greater Europe."

Porsche planning more plug-ins

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Which automaker offers the most plug-in models in the industry? The answer may surprise you, because it's not Toyota, it's not Renault or Nissan or any other automaker that might spring to mind. The answer is Porsche, which already offers the Cayenne and Panamera in plug-in hybrid spec in addition to the 918 Spyder. And it could offer more in the near future. Speaking with Automotive News, Porsche's global sales and marketing chief Bernhard Maier spoke of the importance of plug-in range-extended models to the company's future plans. The 55-year-old executive, who endeavors to make his 56-mile round-trip daily commute from home to the company's headquarters in Stuttgart entirely emissions free, indicated that his company only plans to offer more plug-in models. Previous reports indicated that E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera wouldn't fit in the Macan, and that no such plans were in store for the Boxster, Cayman or 911. But when asked what Porsche had in store for the future, Maier replied: "We have a lot of ideas, but we have not approved them for production yet. The 918 Spyder shows that Porsche has the capability to produce very convincing hybrid sports cars." While clearly guarded, Maier's answer points to a future of more plug-in hybrid models from the storied German marque. All that remains to be seen is whether that will come in the form of a Boxster, Cayman, Macan or another new model altogether, like the rumored mini-Panamera dubbed Pajun or a mid-engined V8 supercar.

Investigators blame speed in fatal Paul Walker crash

Wed, 26 Mar 2014

When the tragic news first came in that actor Paul Walker had been killed in a car crash, family, friends and fans were left searching for answers. They now have at least one key question answered, with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department blaming "unsafe speed" for the fatal accident.
According to a statement released by the LACSD, "Investigators determined the cause of the fatal solo-vehicle collision was unsafe speed for the roadway conditions". The investigation into the November, 2013 crash determined that Walker's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT had been driven by his business partner and racer, Roger Rodas, at speeds between 80 and 93 miles per hour - less than the 100+ mph initially suspected, but still far too fast for the road on which they were traveling, which carried a posted limit of 45 mph.
In the investigation into the death of the Fast & Furious star and his friend, some people were quick to finger the Porsche in which they were riding as the culprit. The Carrera GT does, after all, have the reputation of being a notoriously difficult car to control. But after an exhaustive investigation, law enforcement officials in California have vindicated the car and dismissed any mechanical fault as the cause of the accident.
