1963 Porsche 356 on 2040-cars
Roseville, California, United States
|
I purchased this 356B T-6 two years ago from the second owner. The car was purchased in San Diego California by the original owner and has been in California for most of its life with the exception of 2 years when it was garaged in Chicago while the owner was stationed overseas. It was a dealer demo car that was ordered in Bali Blue/Red Leatherette (this was not a factory combo). The car retains its original transmission #60849 and I have the original engine #609975 though it is not in the car (it will not turn over but it is complete except for fly wheel and belly tin). Currently the car has a Super 90 #705726 that runs beautifully. I have driven the car for the last two years on 500+ mile rallies and several club drives as well as normal driving around town with zero problems. The original owner drove the car regularly and converted the car to a split 6/12 volt system it retains that system and is trouble free. The only item on the car that I have found that doesn't work is the tachometer (cable needs to be replaced), it does not have the original radio, tool kit or dash pad. I have some paperwork on the car that I found when I was going through the car that will come with it.
This is an unrestored car that is VERY RUST FREE, the only two spots I have found are surface rust on the rear side windows that's it. The pan and and all underneath are very solid, the car would be a great restoration candidate or preservation class with some work on the seats. The headliner is in good condition and the door panels and rear seats are good considering the age, all chrome trim pieces are in good shape no pitting or anything, the cover for the trunk is original and in very good condition and it has the original jack, the original rubber floor mat is in the car. The original wheels and caps are also on the car and 3 are date stamped 10/62 and 2 are stamped 8/62 and I just put new tires on the car. At some point the front of the car was painted (looks like a minor accident as there is no signs of damage other than the respray that is aging-see photos). I believe that the roof, rear and the doors retain their factory paint (with the exception of 1/2 the driver's side door - see photo). I have the COA from Porsche North America and please note this comes with both engines so please consider that in your shipping costs. If you only want the original engine I can put it in the car but you must let me know in advance and we can work something out on the cost. I will deliver it to the port of Oakland, California USA if my reserve is met but the buyer is responsible for ALL shipping costs. These unrestored rust free cars are getting harder to find and I have tried to describe as accurately as I can but if here is something you would like to know email me and I get back to you. |

Petrolicious explores long-term living with Porsche's 914/6
Thu, 15 May 2014After its last video starred none other than the spectacular Ferrari 250 GTO, where was there for the video team at Petrolicious to go? Certainly, in the realm of classics, there are only a few other vehicles that can match the badge and pedigree of the ultra-rare Ferrari. Maybe a Jaguar D-Type or an Aston Martin DBR1? No, this latest video doesn't star either of those British icons. It stars an oft-misunderstood, occasionally derided entry from Germany's most sporting manufacturer - Porsche.
Yes, we've gone from a Ferrari 250 GTO to a Porsche 914/6. As is often the case with Petrolicious, though, the story told about the car by its owner are often more important than the make or model of car being highlighted. That's exactly the case here, as Jack Griffin talks about the 38 years he's spent with this particular Porsche.
Having been born into the Volkswagen fold and introduced to Porsche in the best way possible - behind the wheel of a 356 - Griffin has some interesting stories (including his attempt at running the 12 Hours of Sebring), and he knows a fair bit about some of the 914's attributes.
Magnus Walker soliloquizes in his Porsche 911 at night
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Magnus Walker, a prolific Los Angeles clothing designer who has also carved out a respected spot for himself in Porsche world, has had yet another video made about him and his sizable Porsche collection. In this latest video, Hong Kong-based Obscura magazine focuses its video cameras on Walker and his 1971 Porsche 911 track car (yes, the one that appeared on Jay Leno's Garage) as he speeds around Downtown LA and Little Tokyo late at night.
We've heard Walker's story many times before. He's not like the average Porsche owner, perhaps a tad more passionate than most, and he builds 911s like he designs clothes: his way. Sure, we might be a little envious, but can you blame us? View this very slick and entertaining nighttime video entitled Disturbing The Peace below.
All the crazy stuff we saw at McCall's Motorworks Revival
Thu, Aug 18 2016Every year, Gordon McCall puts on a lavish event packed with rare cars and planes (and the type of people that can afford rare cars and planes). And every year, more ridiculous stuff shows up. It's the good kind of machine overload. It's likely the only place in the world where you'll see a line of BMW 3.0s next to some Paganis next to a Porsche 911 by Singer Design next to a Ferrari salt racer next to a custom Olds Riviera next to the latest from Koenigsegg next to he coolest stuff Shelby ever made next to a hangar filled with McLarens, including a few P1 GTRs. And then all of that is surrounded by private jets, fighters, and planes that could have flown in directly from WWII. In a word, it's insane. Walk through the gallery above to get a taste for what was there this year for the event's 25th anniversary.
