1957 Porsche 356A Coupe 1600, rare original silver/red color combination, 100% solid factory-metal floors. An early T1A Coupe that has been garage-kept in California since new, same title since 1970. Original numbers-matching engine with original carburetors, excellent running condition. Original Blaupunkt radio, speaker covers, steering wheel and shift knob. Restored approximately 25 years ago to factory specifications, still shows beautifully. No rust repairs anywhere in the floors, wheel wells, longitudinal or jack points - all original solid metal. Please note that all the factory undercarriage spot welds are visible and pristine, every nut easy to turn, hallmarks of a garaged California early Porsche. (Even good California cars often need some metal replacement in the floors or longitudinals, only cars garaged since day one look this original underneath). No restoration work has been performed on this car in over 20 years, other than mechanical upkeep. The date-stamped original gas tank was recently cleaned and re-lined, and brakes are redone. New tires were installed last week. Paint is approximately 25 years old and shows beautiful. The previous owners have large commercial real estate holdings in the Northern SF Bay Peninsula. They own one of the largest collections of early slot machines in California, and this Porsche 356A was stored the past 25 years amongst their vast array of early California memorabilia. Many of the slot machines are worth over $250,000, and this Porsche was a fitting part of this treasure trove. We specialize in early Porsche models, and I was excited to acquire this wonderful T1A Coupe and present it here. (The COA is on order, but Porsche North America already verified the original color combination and engine number by phone). We are a licensed California dealer: California retail buyers will be responsible for tax and license fees. Overseas buyers are welcome: We work closely with a local shipper in Hayward, California, that offers competitive rates. Please complete any inspections prior to bidding. Thanks for looking!

Audi and Porsche squabble over future product platforms
Tue, 22 Jul 2014In the buildup to the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi delivered an amusing video that worked on the playful rivalry between the German brand and its favorite frenemy, Porsche. We called it sibling rivalry, and at the time, it may have been just that. But just like sibling rivalries, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and that's just what seems to be about to happen in the formerly peaceful Volkswagen Group family.
A new report from Automobile calls out the growing animosity between Porsche, who is backed up by Bentley, and Audi, whose primary ally is Lamborghini. No blows have actually been thrown, although there is a fair amount of "he said, she said" going on.
As Porsche tells it, for example, the new global fullsize SUV architecture being developed by Audi isn't up to snuff, citing size and structure issues, as well as an inability to accommodate a wide variety of engines.
Porsche picks Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Russian-born tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has just inked a three-year deal with Porsche to be its brand ambassador, a position that will put her on a global campaign for the German automaker. The 26-year-old athlete isn't new to the role - she previously signed a similar three-year deal with Land Rover in 2006.
"Maria Sharapova is an exceptional athlete. She combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power. These are precisely the qualities that are embroiled in our sports cars," explained Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche AG, during the announcement. "Her profile and charisma are an ideal fit for Porsche. She is also highly respected around the world and enjoys an outstanding reputation," he added.
Some consider Porsche's choice of a female tennis player as its ambassador interesting, if not surprising. The automaker has traditionally marketed its vehicles with a masculine edge - Sharapova and the sport of tennis position the brand in a different light - likely an intentional decision. Do you think Porsche's choice was a good one? If not, who would you choose as its global ambassador?
Porsche Exclusive showcases custom-order 911 Turbo Cabrio
Sun, 06 Apr 2014Porsche is one of the most profitable automakers in the business. In fact, it's said to make about $23,000 on each car it sells, thanks in no small part to an options list that can send the sticker price accelerating quicker than one of its own sports cars. But there are always those for whom even the extensive option list won't be enough, and for just such customers, there is Porsche Exclusive.
The division in Zuffenhausen is tasked with creating even more individualized examples of Porsche vehicles, and it recently did up this 911 Turbo Cabriolet - which, at $160,700, is already one of the most expensive Porsches you can order this side of a 918 Spyder: more than any Boxster, Cayman, Macan or Cayenne, any Panamera other than a Turbo S or Executive - not to mention any other 911 short of a Turbo S.
This particular demo vehicle features a Slate Grey paint job and red interior decked out in more leather than an S&M dungeon - which, come to think of it, would probably be less financially painful than ordering up this car from Porsche Exclusive.
