Up for sale is my 1965 C Sunroof Coupe, with electric sunroof, original California car, registration shows the car was originally sold and tagged in 1965 in California. The last production year of the 356, best of the 356s with disc brakes and better driveability than earlier models, this car having the hard to find electric sunroof option. Registration shows car resided in Los Angeles until just recently. Super solid pans, the pans are original to the car and look good with no rust or perforations. All jack points are solid with no rust as well and longitudinals are excellent. Battery box has one slit about 7 inches long but otherwise is excellent. Doors close well with the characteristic Porsche "thunk" and hood and engine lid close neatly and evenly as well. Electric sunroof opens and closes with factory mounted switch under left side of dash. The sunroof appears as though it could use a little adjustment judging from the paint scraped off on top of the sunroof but it does open and close. Original color was dolphin grey as can be seen on the underside of the doors. Car was repainted many years ago metallic blue. Paint has scratches but has a nice shine to it. Can be driven as it is until restoration is undertaken to return the car to its original color, if so desired. Interior is original, original carpeting, original seats and headliner. All showing some wear but nice to find one with the original interior as it came from the factory. Speedometer, odometer, tachometer and gas gauge and oil pressure light all work. Engine runs very well and "takes the gas". This is a non-numbers matching car and the engine has a third piece that is not stamped. The third piece of the engine is blank. Clutch and transmission are fine. All new shift bushings were installed and the car shifts through all 4 forward gears well and cleanly as does reverse. All 4 brake calipers were removed from the car, were then totally disassembled and cleaned with solvent and brake cleaner and high pressure air. Then they were media blasted and painted high temperature silver. Each caliper was then rebuilt with new seals and dust covers and then installed. New rubber brake lines were installed on each wheel. The car stops evenly and on a "dime". Since the car sat for so many years (last registration is 1976), the gas tank was not usable since the gasoline had turned to varnish. A new tank was ordered from Stoddards Porsche parts and installed along with a new fuel shutoff valve. Also new correct rubber fuel lines were installed. The engine runs without hesitation and there is no worries that sediment or dirt will get into the fuel system of the car. With a quick turn of the ignition switch the car starts right up and you are ready to drive off almost immediately. Here is a link to over 150 pictures of the car: Here are some videos of the car: with the engine running and being revved: http://youtu.be/injNWpX1a7k some short test drives: Title in hand, we are a licensed and bonded and insured auto dealer in North Carolina.

Alonso wants an NSX, but did Honda block him from Le Mans?
Tue, Jan 20 2015One of the biggest changes in store for the 2015 Formula One World Championship will see Fernando Alonso moving back to McLaren. That means he'll be driving under Honda power for the first time, after spending the bulk of his career driving for Renault and Ferrari. And being Honda's new poster child, as the two-time World Champion is fast discovering, has its advantages and its drawbacks. According to the latest reports, Alonso had been negotiating a clause in his contract with McLaren that could have seen him driving a Porsche 919 Hybrid at Le Mans this year, but Honda reportedly stepped in at the last minute and scuttled the plan. The drive would have been Alonso's first in the famous 24-hour race, after having had the honor of waving the flag at La Sarthe last summer. In one of the wilder rumors that emerged during the prolonged silence over his move for this season, the Spaniard was also linked to a potential return for Ferrari to Le Mans. That prospect came to naught, and now the Porsche deal has been wheeled into the garage, as well. The upcoming F1 season is expected to be one of transition, adjustment and development for McLaren and Honda, but the Japanese automaker's involvement in his hiring may not be all bad news for Alonso. Following the reveal of the new Acura NSX, Alonso tweeted "You still don't know, but one day we will be together..." followed by a series of heart-eyed smiley-face emoticons and accompanies by images of Honda's new supercar. The implication is that the two-time World Champion is expecting to get his talented hands on an NSX of his own, and we can certainly see how Honda would appreciate the imagery of Fernando driving around in its flagship. Even if it doesn't, though, we're sure McLaren would be glad to hook him up with a company car of its own – though Lewis Hamilton encountered some trouble securing (a very specific) one for himself. Even discounting the front-running F1 machinery he's been tasked with piloting on track to an impressive 32 career wins, Alonso has had some lustworthy company cars at his disposal over the years. At Renault, he had a Megane RS to drive, and during his last stint at McLaren, he had an SLR 722. But since signing with Ferrari, he's been given the keys to FCA models as varied as a Ferrari FF, a special 599 GTO, a Maserati GranCabrio, a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and an Abarth 695... and those are just the ones we know about.
Jay Leno welcomes finely rebuilt Porsche 356 into his garage
Wed, 15 Jan 2014Not a month after the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer visited Jay Leno's garage, another artfully restored Porsche has rolled in. This time it's a 1957 Porsche 356A Outlaw, the "outlaw" moniker referring to Porsches that have been restored outside the bounds of period-correct orthodoxy.
This 356A was literally done from the ground up by Michigander Chuck Olenyk, the floor of the car having fallen apart so badly that he couldn't remove the roof at first since it was holding the vehicle together. Olenyk said that of the 2000 hours over seven years that he spent restoring the car, 500 were spent just on repairing the rust. That's undoubtedly some of the reason why when he tried to sell the unrestored car as a roller in the nineties for $1,000, no one would take it off his hands.
Olenyk fitted a mildly tuned engine from a Porsche 912, the transmission from a 356B, the brakes from a 356C, Fuchs mags and a modified replicar Speedster roof from Intermecchnica. It lacks nothing even with just 115 horsepower, and it adds to that with charm and aural appeal. You can see and hear the full story in the video below.
Porsche 911 GT3 dukes it out with MP4-12C on track and GT-R on spectacular roads
Thu, 22 Aug 2013The Porsche 911 GT3 has always been a favorite among auto journalists and car enthusiasts alike, but with the introduction of the new 991-generation GT3, which is the first GT3 with electric power steering and no manual gearbox option, how does it stack up to the competition from McLaren and Nissan?
Evo's Jethro Bovingdon attempts to answer that question by pitting the rear-engine Porsche against the mid-engine McLaren MP4-12C on a racetrack and the front-engine, all-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R on some amazing, twisty European back roads. We won't give away the victor of either comparison, but we will say that, in Evo's test, the McLaren's 141-horsepower advantage doesn't give it as much of an edge over the Porsche on a racetrack as one might think, and the lack of a manual gearbox and the inclusion of electric power steering on the GT3 isn't detrimental to enjoying the car on a back road.
Watch the video below to find out which car Bovingdon prefers on road and track - we think you'll be happy to see him drift around turns every chance he gets.
