Up for sale is my 1964 Porsche SC Coupe, matching numbers, body number 127849, engine number 810869, previous owner faxed title to Porsche and Porsche verified that this is a numbers matching car. According to Porsche Specs Booklet, Third Edition, production of cars for production year 1963 started with number 126001 in July, 1963 and went to 128104. This body number is 127849.  SC engine numbers began with 810001 and ended with 811001. This engine number is 810869. As you can see body number and engine number coincide toward end of production run. Car was titled as a 1964 as many were by the time they reached the US. Porsche has verified that this is a matching number car. Block is stamped 616/16 which is an SC block.

Car will require a full restoration. Paint has been stripped off the car and the car is in bare metal. All rust areas are visible and no bondo has been thrown at the car. Doors close beautifully. Door gaps are incredibly tight and even all the way around. They close with a nice thud--one of the wonderful parts of this car. Engine lid closes well and gap is even all the way around. Hood is stamped with "849" and is original. It will require some metal work to be perfect but it closes and opens well and gap is even across the top near the windshield  and along the fenders. New floors will be necessary as well as battery box. This is not a big problem. Front sections of floor were cut out by previous owner beginning to prep the area for replacement. He decided to sell the vehicle before completing this work. If the car doesn't sell we will bring it into the shop and do the metal work in house. It is just part of the business if you buy and sell enough 356s. Above the floor is very solid. What really attracts me to the car is the way the doors close so tightly and cleanly and evenly. Everything else can be fixed.

Car is mechanically complete. We haven't tried to fire up the engine but it turns over freely. We believe that it could run without too much difficulty. All 4 wheel disc brakes are present and the car rolls easily. The SC Coupe is one of the finest driving Porsche 356s available because of the 4 wheel disc brakes and higher horsepower engine. These cars restored are currently bringing $70,000 to $80,000 and more for a concours example. This is the car that you want to restore since it is a matching numbers car and high horsepower 356 and has 4 wheel disc brakes! It is an investment grade car.

Lamborghini could be sold or spun off from the Volkswagen Group

Sat, Oct 12 2019

Volkswagen is reportedly considering a sale or stock listing for its high-end Lamborghini brand. The German automaker is looking to fold the Italian supercar brand into a separate legal entity, reports Bloomberg, which cites "people familiar with the matter" who don't want to be identified "because the deliberations are confidential and no decisions have been made." Any of this sound familiar? The goal of spinning off Lamborghini would be to stockpile more cash and other resources for VW's massive planned push into electric vehicles. Back in March, reports circulated that Volkswagen's "Vision 2030" corporate plan might include plans to focus on the brand's core brands — VW, Audi and Porsche. That means the futures of fringe players like Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, motorcycle brand Ducati and design firm Italdesign (and note this isn't a comprehensive list of brand's under the expansive VW Group umbrella) are up in the air. VW, according to the report, is targeting a market value of $220 billion, which is a big jump from the brand's current $89 billion valuation. Bloomberg pegged Lamborghini's valuation at around $11 billion back in August, buoyed by sales and profits generated by the introduction of the Urus sport utility vehicle. On the flip side, Lamborghini is currently grappling with how best to update its supercar lineup in the face of ever-increasing emissions regulations.

UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.

Porsche planning customer driving center at Le Mans

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Porsche seems to be on a campaign to build driving centers for its customers to allow them to experience the capabilities of their cars on track. It has one under way in Los Angeles, another in development at its North American headquarters in Atlanta, and a British center set up at the Silverstone circuit. Now the latest reports indicate that Porsche is planning yet another driving center at Le Mans.
The new facility is earmarked to be built at the Circuit de la Sarthe right by the start/finish line, incorporating the Porsche Curves that bridge the Arnage corner and the Ford Chicanes on the West side of the famous track.
Porsche is reportedly still seeking approval from the Automobile Club de l'Ouest that manages the circuit, and once given the green light, would still take some time to complete. But the idea of driving a 911 flat out on the legendary track is likely to make more than a few mouths water, particularly as the German automaker prepares its full-on assault of the famous endurance race next year.
