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.

Well hello, Carice, you Porsche-aping EV cutie

Wed, Jul 9 2014

Ah, the joy that comes open-air motoring with the in your hair and the roar of the exhaust behind you. Well, maybe not as much anymore. In recent years, vehicles like the Tesla Roadster have made the concept of the electric sports car palatable. Now, Dutch automaker Carice is following suit with a classically inspired EV speedster called the MK1. The MK1 clearly wears its design inspiration on its sleeve. It would be difficult to look at this styling and not immediately see a Porsche 356 Speedster; It has the same upside-down bathtub shape with big round headlights and likely the tiniest taillights on a production car in years. The Carice is also clearly meant for fair weather motoring because there's no top, just a tonneau cover to protect the interior from the rain while it's sitting. One thing that the Dutch company is definitely getting right is the weight. It claims that the MK1 weighs a dainty 772 pounds, including the battery pack. The low weight doesn't mean the MK1 is going to be lighting quick, though. It's being offered with a choice of three electric motors with 5 horsepower (for 16-year-old drivers in the Netherlands), 20 hp or 53 hp, and there are two sizes of battery pack. Buyers can also opt for a range-extending internal combustion engine. The 53-hp motor allows for a top speed of 62 miles per hour and a 124-mile range with the larger battery. Carice says its also willing to fit larger batteries or more power motors, at the buyer's expense, of course. Carice plans to build an initial production run of 10 cars with prices starting at 22,000 euros, before Dutch taxes (about $30,000). The company hasn't released a press release about the MK1, but you can learn more about speedster on its website; it's in Dutch, though.

See what the Chevy C7 ZR1 may be benchmarked against

Tue, 07 May 2013

One of the greatest things every Corvette has had going for it, and also one of the most re-used arguments against it, is its price-to-performance equation - long before the Nissan GT-R became the de facto Porsche 911 comparator the Corvette spent decades as Exhibit A. Depending on which side of the argument you stressed, supporters crowed about how much performance you got for how (comparatively) little, detractors carped on how little you got everywhere else in the bargain.
It appears Chevrolet is working as hard as ever to render the argument meaningless. Spy shooters at KGP captured a convocation of European birds of prey leaving the General Motors test center, and aimed at benchmarking the C7 Corvette ZR1. The road train comprised of two C7 Corvette Stingrays, a 2013 Corvette ZR1, McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari 458 Italia, Audi R8 V10 Spyder and Porsche 911 Carrera S and it was last seen heading down the same kinked-up back roads used to hone the Corvette Stingray.
The C7-series ZR1 and its possible 700 horsepower are still a ways off. If it really is being positioned to compete with the celestial exotica in the testing group, could it be the first Corvette to regularly be the first answer to the question "Cost no object, which would would you rather have?"

The dream of the '90s is alive in Porsche 968 retro review

Tue, Jun 30 2015

Only a month after Porsche confirmed that the next-generation Boxster and Cayman will get four-cylinder engines, it is apt that we have a MotorWeek retro review of the 1992 Porsche 968. Porsche hoped the 968 – nee 944 Â– and its naturally-aspirated, 3.0-liter, four-cylinder would revive sales of its entry-level line, but that didn't happen: going on sale in 1992, 1995 was its last year on the market. This was at a time when a stock 968 coupe cost $39,850, surpassing the out-the-door price of a loaded Chevrolet Corvette. The 968 convertible cost $51,000. That didn't stop MotorWeek's unanimous support of the 968, praising its design, the delivery of its 236 horsepower and 225 pound-feet of torque, and its handling - MotorWeek called it "Pure 90s performance," in spite of some fiddly switchgear and a noisy, firm ride. You can watch the review above. We have a feeling Porsche's four-cylinder fortunes will go much better this time around.
