Up for sale is my 1962 Porsche 356 Cabriolet Super, Reuter Body Number 155743, with matching Super engine number 700266, produced in late 1961 and titled as a 1962. Car is pictured with the hardtop. Found sitting quietly in dry storage until recently, with both tops, hard top and soft convertible top, car is complete with all of its parts including the front bumper which is present but not pictured. Brought into our shop and with a fresh battery and fresh gas running to the fuel pump, we spun it over and it fired right up! Last on the road in 1978 shows the sticker in the windshield. Engine runs beautifully as you can see in the video below and holds an idle very well. Needs new muffler but carbs are tight with no leaks and after running the engine for 30 minutes the temperature gauge holds evenly just a quarter inch above cold. Oil looks good. Engine takes the gas well with no misfiring or misses or engine noise in the upper rpms. There are no excessive oil leaks. Just the normal ones.
Car was originally white (paint code 738) with red leather upholstery. Seats are out so that you can see the floors. While it still retains its original floors, it will need some floor repair as can be seen by the pictures. Doors close beautifully with a nice "thud" and engine lid and hood close nicely as well with even gaps all the way around. Hood fits wells, closes well, and is not kinked. The body shows no damage of major accident and the body lines and gaps are excellent. This car will need to be restored before it can be driven. It presents an excellent basis to start with and we see very nice examples that are matching numbers bringing more than $125K. It has all of the parts necessary to make this a top flight car. The Porsche 356 open cars are dearly sought after and are becoming very difficult to find in a condition that is restorable. It seems that those that are restored are cresting $100k for an entry level example. Please see over 100 photos on the link below:
Here is a short video of the engine running:

Porsche, Hyundai and GM impress in J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, Fiat and Jeep don't
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Consumers continue to struggle with the advanced user interfaces and technologies being fitted to new cars, according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. Overall, the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles climbed three percent, to 116 issues reported in the first 90 days of ownership.
Vehicles from the General Motors' family were dominant, with Buick, Chevrolet and GMC capturing more individual IQS segment awards than any other manufacturer. Despite its well-publicized issues, six GM vehicles (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, GMC Terrain and GMC Yukon) were given IQS awards for their respective segments.
Hyundai was ranked the best overall mass-market brand, with just 94 issues in every 100 vehicles reported in the first 90 days. Parent Hyundai Motor Company, meanwhile, trailed GM with five vehicles winning their segments, including the Hyundai Accent, Elantra and Genesis, as well as the Kia Cadenza and Sportage.

Porsche undecided on new 911 GT2 [w/poll]
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Fans of hardcore 911s had it pretty good with the last 997 generation. There was the GT3, GT3 RS, GT3 RS 4.0, GT2 and GT2 RS (pictured above). Each one was faster, more powerful and more expensive than the one below it, but what they all shared was what Porsche purists love most: rear engine, rear drive, a manual transmission and little else.
So far with the new 991, Porsche has only released a GT3 version. Sure, there have been other models, but they're all decidedly more luxurious and less performance-focused. And as impressive a machine as the new GT3 is, it has run the risk of alienating some of its most ardent fanatics with technological interference in the form of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and four-wheel steering. So what those purists have really been looking forward to is a more hardcore GT3 RS or new GT2. But those may not be coming so quickly.
Speaking with 911 project chief August Achleitner, Car and Driver reports that a new GT2 is anything but a foregone conclusion. The reasons may be partially political, but could be technical in nature as well: with 560 horsepower driving all four wheels, the new 911 Turbo S runs the 0-60 in less than three seconds. Give it more power but less traction, as Porsche has done with past GT2s, and you may not end up seeing an actual improvement in performance. A GT2 that's slower than the Turbo S would be difficult to explain.
