1965 Porsche 356 C Cabriolet, Documented 70k, Numbers Match, Video, Runs Great! on 2040-cars
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
Up for sale is my 1965 Porsche 356C Cabriolet, matching numbers per the original owner's manual in the glove compartment, chassis number 162068 with engine number 733159. Paint code is 6407. This is a 2 owner car. Included in the sale is the original ignition key with leather "Porsche" maroon fob. Fully documented from day one of its sale date on June 14th,1965. Sold by Mooers Motor Company in Richmond, Virginia. First owner owned the vehicle up to 8/23/1977 where second owner purchased the car. I purchased the car from the second owner. All service receipts with sequential mileage up the current mileage of 70735. Mileage is original. Odometer is working. Every service, every oil change, every tire purchase, every light bulb, every brake service, every state inspection, EVERYTHING from day one on this vehicle. It is rare to find a vehicle with all the service records and receipts and the service booklet in the dash with the dealer stamps in it. Hood and engine grill has the last 2 digits of vin stamped in them. There is no evidence of accident repair in going through all of the receipts. Since purchasing the vehicle we have changed the spark plug wires, put in fresh spark plugs, changed the oil, installed and set new points, changed the transaxle fluid, installed new rubber boots on transaxle, and did a thorough check over on the vehicle. All gauges work-temperature, gas level gauge, speedometer, odometer, tachometer, clock works most of the time, low and high beam lights, turn signals, brake lights. Radio currently does not work. The car maintains its original 6 volt system and charges well. Car has European heater system on it, which is all intact. Engine runs beautifully and takes the gas well. Transmission is smooth and shifts through all 4 forward gears smoothly and goes into reverse smoothly as well. I have driven the car over 400 miles in the past 3 weeks and it is just a blast to drive. Interior is showing some wear especially on the driver side seat; top is present and goes up and down but the rear window will need replacing; all doors close amazingly well and maintain their gaps very well; engine lid closes well. Hood closes well but has been kinked and will need repair. Car is very solid but has a few spots that will need some rust attention: small pencil eraser size blisters in front of driver side door on fender; driver side longitudinal in rear will need some rust repair (see picture). None of the rust on this car affects the structure of the car. We have had the car jacked up in the rear and the doors open and close beautifully while it is jacked up. There is no evidence of accident on the car. I also have a hardtop which is complete for the car that can be purchased additionally. Please see the link below where I have taken over 125 photos of the car: Here is a short video of the car being driven at highway speeds: You can buy with confidence. This is a really nice well maintained car over the years, one that is increasingly hard to find as a very nice dependable driver. It has classic lines and draws a crowd wherever it is parked. We are a licensed and bonded and insured auto dealer in North Carolina and we have an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau. Our dealership is: T.J. Auto, Inc., 1312 Capital Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27603. The title to the vehicle is in hand and everything is in order on our end. We can assist with domestic and international shipping (buyer pays for shipping).

Wingsuits are somehow involved in new season of 'Top Gear'
Mon, Jan 14 2019It's a shame that Matt LeBlanc is leaving "Top Gear," but there's a bit of solace in the situation: There's still one more season of him as frontman. BBC just released the new trailer for series 26, and it shows LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid getting into all sorts of shenanigans around the globe. "Top Gear" announced LeBlanc's imminent departure back in May 2018, but he still had to finish one more season before leaving. Thus, the upcoming series will be his last, and it looks like he'll go out in a whirlwind of dust, bent metal, water spray and burnt rubber. The trailer shows everything expected from a season of the storied automotive show (well, everything except Hammond, May, and Clarkson, if you're one of those people). There will be precision driving, dubious stunts, name-calling and gobs of stunning videography. In the short one-minute clip, there are flashes of numerous attention-piquing vehicles. The new Bentley Continental GT, a Bentley Le Mans racer, Porsches, Ferraris, the Aston Martin Vantage, and the Mercedes-AMG GT all make appearances. And for some random fun, the boys are seen in wingsuits (doubtful it's actually them), and playing polo in some three-wheel rickshaws (before wrecking said rickshaws). We'll update with more information as soon as we know when the show will start.

Porsche recalls new 911 models over exhaust pipe issues
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Porsche, though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, announced a voluntary recall on about 2,200 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models built during the 2012 and 2013 model years. On cars equipped with the standard exhaust system it was found that the tailpipes could separate from the mufflers and become dangerous road debris; models that added the optional sport exhaust system are not included in this recall.
Affected vehicles were built between March and November of last year, but there have been no reports of the problem on any customer-owned vehicles. Porsche first noticed a cracked tailpipe weld on a test vehicle back in May, and since then has found similar problems on other internally owned vehicles, all with more than 25,000 miles on the clock. To fix the problem, dealers will be replacing the mufflers. Scroll down to read the official notice.
Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer
Mon, 07 Oct 2013An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
