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.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.

Porsche spotted testing next-gen Panamera in the snow

Thu, Jan 22 2015

It's winter testing season in northern Sweden, and the latest spy shots our paparazzi on the ground have brought us is the upcoming Porsche Panamera testing in the cold and snow. The upcoming new four-door Porsche, spied wearing only minimal camouflage, appears to have a more elegant and sloping roofline than the existing model. Other details like the lights, mirrors and grille openings look fairly consistent with what we've been seeing on Porsche's other models as they've trickled out. Based on the new MSB platform, the new Panamera is set to share its underpinnings with the next Bentley Continental and possibly an Audi variant as well – though the prospect of a Lamborghini version to follow the Estoque concept seems to be off the table. The new platform will, however, make the new Panamera lighter than the current model. A new range of V6 and V8 engines are expected to provide motivation, driving the rear wheels or all four, along with the available e-hybrid system. Porsche's first four-door sedan was introduced in 2009 and underwent a facelift in 2013, so the all-new second-generation model should arrive sometime later this year or next as a 2017 model. This new model could provide the impetus for Porsche to put the Sport Turismo shooting brake version into production as well, and maybe Â– just maybe Â– a two-door coupe and possible convertible versions to follow in the footsteps of the 928.

Porsche Classic launching branded motor oil for air-cooled boxer engines

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

It's hard not to love the look of a classic Porsche. Whether it's the upside-down bathtub styling of the 356 or the gradual evolution of the 911, there is a little beauty in all of them. However, the older they get, the more that needs repaired to keep them on the road. Porsche Classic is helping out, though, by introducing its own brand of motor oil for the demands of the company's vintage, air-cooled engines.
Developed at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach, Germany, Porsche Classic Motoroil comes in two weights - 20W-50 for the 356, 914 and 911 models up to the 2.7-liter G-Model and 10W-60 for 3.0-liters-and-up engines through the 993-chassis 911. The company claims that the air-cooled engines have different heat demands than traditional, water-cooled units, and this oil is made to meet those requirements.
According to Porsche, modern, synthetic oils are sometimes too effective when it comes to old engines. They are fantastic at sopping up debris, but those deposits are often holding archaic seals together. Suddenly removing them can cause leaks. The new oil is specifically designed to work with the old-fashioned materials found in its classics. The company also knows that most owners aren't driving their vintage cars everyday. So this formulation is more alkaline that normal to neutralize acids that they build up and corrode components.
