Selling this project that never got started.

I have the glass (no cracks), most of the trim, gauges, seats, original wheels, gas tank, wiper motor and arm assembly, original Hella lenses, rear seats, engine lid louvers, and all of what I would call the major parts. Some of the smaller parts are new repro or NOS, like some trim pieces, some lenses, a Bosch distributor, and some other miscellaneous stuff.  Motor and drivetrain are original and complete.

Rockers and floor are totally shot. Lots of surface rust throughout interior metal.  The last (original) owner started to do some patch work and didn't do a good job; it has to be redone. Doors, window channels, roof, engine lid are decent. nose is fair. trunk lid (in front) is rough. Door hinges are good and with no door sag. I think most if not all of the metal needs attention, but certainly not beyond restoration.

As far as I know, the car drove up until about 1985 when it was put in a garage where it sat until I took ownership in 2012. It deteriorated quite a bit as the garage it sat in was not suitable for storing a car. 


I am more interested in a roadster than a hardtop. I was going to chop the top off but couldn't bring myself to butcher a restorable car of this stature, so I'm sadly letting it go in search of something else.

I'll be happy to answer any questions or send additional photos.

*UPDATE - I stated in the description that "Motor and drivetrain are original and complete".  After being asked to provide the body VIN and Engine ID,  I realized that I never actually researched it myself and just took the word of the previous (original) owner of the car.  I did not verify that it is in fact the original 1964 engine in the car.  I did some research but the numbers I found were inconclusive.  Body ID is 128304.   Engine ID 733213.   I do not want to misrepresent what is here, so please check for yourself and make you own conclusions.

Porsche Cayenne shows a bit more face, plug-in spotted

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Porsche was first rumored to be working on a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Cayenne over a year ago. However, we had never seen it, until now. The new model was caught almost completely undisguised while testing. In another stroke of luck, we got a glimpse of the upcoming facelift for Porsche's SUV (pictured above) as well.
According to the spy shooter, it was windy during the cars' cold weather testing. The cover blew off of the facelifted Cayenne, and there was enough time to snap these pictures before it could be hidden again. The changes are all quite minor but jive with what we saw the last time it was spied. The rear still wears some cladding but is expected to be hiding lights similar to the Macan.
The second gallery shows off the upcoming Cayenne PHEV. It looks nearly identical to the standard model, except for the extra panel on the driver's side of the car that hides the electric port. One image even shows the car plugged in. The new version is expected to use the same supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 9.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack with a combined 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque from the Panamera S E-Hybrid. We enjoyed the system when we tested it last year. It's rumored to debut on the SUV sometime this year.

Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.

Watch this Koenigsegg CCX hit 211 mph on a runway, outpacing McLaren's P1

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Vmax200 in in England organizes events where those who care to show up with a supercar can run them down the two-mile runway at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. Evo attended the latest event, bringing an impressively green Lamborghini Aventador to test its girth and gaping vents against other precious metals like the McLaren P1 and F1, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Enzo, a Porsche Carrera GT and enough 911 Turbos to start a dealership. Speaking of those Porsches, nine of the top ten slots in the top speed competition are claimed by modified 911 Turbos.
A monochrome Swede ruled them all, though, a black-and-white Koenigsegg CCX setting fire to the speed trap run after run, hitting 211 miles per hour at its quickest. It was followed by, surprise, a 911 GT2 modified by 9E that did 210 mph. You can watch the EVO video below, GT Spirit has a bigger breakdown of the day, and we've included another vid showing the tandem launch of the CCX and McLaren F1.
