356 A Posche Coupe 1959 T-2 Originally Miessen Blue, Project Car, Complete. on 2040-cars
Bound Brook, New Jersey, United States
|
This is a late 1959 356, T-2, built 7.59 according to the Kardex, which I have a copy, and was delivered to Hoffman NY. The original color is Meissenblau with Brown interior. 59 356 A T-2 s are a great car to restore, as they have the better ZF steering box, later roller bearing axle stubbs, and better syncro transmission. As a 59, this car is eligible for the VSCCA and many other vintage race groups, here and abroad. The car is very complete with a running, 1 year later 1600 Normal engine. The engine compartment has original intact noise insulation. The drivers doors and deck match the body, I did not take off the passenger panel, but does have the blue paint underneath. The hood is un-kinked and un-numbered. The gauges have correct date stamps. The rare exhaust thru bumperettes for rear bumper are with it. All glass is intact, and seems correct, I took pictures of the glass logos. The passenger quarter glass is plexi. The wheels are very nice chrome repros, and the tires are new 165 x 15. Included with the car are new floors, longitudinals, seat and floor board brackets. The original steering wheel, and rare horn ring and button are there, but the horn ring has a crack, and the button is cracked. I have documents dating back to 1981 when it had 87,000 miles on it. I have some receipt from 80's and 90's and an owners manual. One of the keys are stamped with the original factory key number on Kardex K 149. Meissen Blue is now a highly sought after color. This car has original deco trim, with extruded ends, verses the repros that are pinched and welded. It does have the mirror and sun visors, and one "wedge" front directional stand. The rear license light has the Hella logo, and the rear tear drop trim has the part numbers in them. I encourage inspection, the car is in White House NJ. If sold overseas towing to the port is about 50 miles. I will answer questions and send pictures up till end of action, but not after. I can be reached at tmiller@gardenstategraphics.com I have the car for sale for a friend locally, so I reserve the right to end auction early.

Jay Leno's Dodge Challenger raises $585k for USO in Scottsdale
Mon, Jan 19 2015Of all the metal moved in Scottsdale, AZ, this holiday weekend, the one you see here was hardly the most expensive. But it's noteworthy for another reason: despite being a relatively humble, second-hand 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, raised an impressive $565,625. That's because, first of all, it belonged to Jay Leno, and secondly because the proceeds were going to the USO. Leno donated the modern muscle car from his collection to benefit our men and women in uniform, and was on hand to present the car on stage at the Gooding & Company auction, along with USO president J.D. Crouch II and former Army chief of staff General George W. Casey, Jr. After frenzied and patriotic bidding, the gavel ultimately dropped at $360,000, accompanied by over $200,000 in additional contributions, bringing the total amount donated to the USO to over half a million. Commendable though it was, of course the Challenger didn't garner the highest bids at the auction. A 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider sold for $7.7 million and a 1968 Ferrari 330 GTS fetched $2.4 million. A rare 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Series I Coupe Aerodinamico sold for over $4,070,000 – which, according to Sports Car Market, is the most ever paid at auction for a 400 Superamerica. And a 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 also sold for a record $1.98 million.

Watch onboard video of the Porsche 918 Spyder's record 'Ring lap
Tue, 10 Sep 2013"Pics or it didn't happen!" You could almost hear the Internet shouting this when news started to trickle in about a sub-seven-minute Nürburgring lap by the new Porsche 918 Spyder. Well, after an official press release, which we ran earlier today, we have your "pics." Moving pics, to be more exact. Porsche has released on-board footage of the 6:57 lap.
The video, which runs about eight-and-a-half minutes, and shows the 918 from inside the car on a flying lap of the German track. Perhaps what's remarkable is just how undramatic it all looks. Sure, there's some sawing at the wheel from test driver Marc Lieb (one of three testers, including legendary rally king Walter Röhrl), but he makes wrangling the Martini-liveried 918 look kind of easy.
Take a look down below for the full, on-board video, and then click over and read our initial write-up from earlier this morning and take a glance at the more stylized video that Porsche originally posted.
Charles Morgan drives a wicked air-cooled Porsche 911 GT2
Tue, Feb 2 2016Porsche has made a fantastic array of driver's cars over the years, but few can still drum up the kind of excitement as the first 911 GT2. It launched in 1993, based (appropriately enough) on the 993-generation model to serve as a homologation special, and remains a cult classic over two decades later. So to review one, the blokes at Carfection brought in Charles Morgan, former managing director of his family's sportscar manufacturer. The 993-gen GT2 was the first of its breed, packing a 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six cooled by air and good for 430 horsepower, all driven to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual. It had a full roll cage, plastic fenders riveted over the wider track, and... little else. It was raw, engaging, and extremely rare. Only 57 road-going examples were made, and these days they're trading hands for stupid money that only investors could afford – but could not afford to drive lest it crash into a write-off. Little wonder that Harry Metcalfe opted for a non-original example that had been brought up to GT2 spec in the aftermarket, and that's what Mr. Morgan is driving here as well. That may make it less authentic, but it still looks like a blast to drive along twisting country roads. See for yourself in the eight-minute clip above, brought to you by the same chaps who used to make the Xcar videos. Related Video:
