Up for sale is my 1965 Porsche 356 C Coupe, Signal Red (paint code 6407), Black interior, vin number 221695 (which is the 212th car for 1965 production year) and engine number 717039 (which is the 234th engine for 1965). We are 99% certain that this is a numbers matching car since the car number and engine number coincide early in the 1965 production run for that year. So far we have been correct. We have ordered the COA and expect to have it in 3-4 weeks and this will be included in the sale of the vehicle. Very solid car with original pans, longitudinals and jack spurs which all look excellent. Battery box has had one small customary repair under where the battery sits. All closing panels, torsion bar areas, behind the front wheels are all solid. Bottom of the doors are excellent.  This car came out of Florida and the previous owner has owned it since 2002. He told us that it came out of an estate and he purchased it from the family of the deceased owner. The gaps of the doors are even throughout, door hinges are straight and the doors close with that characteristic Porsche "thunk". Engine lid gap is perfect. Hood gap is excellent. Body appears to never have been in an accident since the gaps are so clean, straight and even.  Paint was done about 10 years ago and presents well, although there are some bubbles on the passenger side fender (see picture). This is the only place where we saw any real issues with the paint/body.  The black interior is excellent, seats look original, door panels are original. Dash has an after market radio installed. Engine runs but could use a tune up. Oil pressure is constant between 40-60lbs when the car is running.  Brakes are firm and have excellent pedal. Firestone tires have deep tread. This is the last year of the Porsche 356 and is considered the best in terms of drivability.

We have taken over 150 photos of the car. Please see the link below:

Porsche considering turbo for new GT3 RS [w/poll]

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Some automakers make one hardcore version of a sports car and are done with it. Or at least they make one at a time. Think Ferrari 458 Speciale, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (or Super Trofeo Stradale or Squadra Corse) or Maserati GranTurismo MC. But not Porsche. It transforms the 911 into the hard-core GT3, the even harder-core GT3 RS, the you've-got-to-be-psychotic GT2 and the do-you-have-a-death-wish GT2 RS. The RS models take things to a further extreme, but what separates GT3 from GT2 models has traditionally been the use of foced induction: GT3s are naturally aspirated, while GT2s go turbo. But that could all be about to change.
According to the rumors making their round of the webosphere, Porsche is considering using a turbocharged engine for the next GT3 RS. The reason is that, as we all know, Porsche has already pushed the 3.8-liter flat-six in the existing GT3 about as far as it can go, and then some. And buyers expect not only a more bare-bones package with the GT3 RS, but also a bit of extra power.
Given that everything seems to be going turbo these days, the move might make some measure of sense, especially if Porsche wants to avoid with the GT3 RS the spontaneous combustion issues it faced with the GT3. But we can't help but wonder why, at that point, it wouldn't just skip the GT3 RS and go straight for the GT2.

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.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
