1955 Porsche 356 Speedster Intermeccanica 1 Of The Original 600 on 2040-cars
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
I just bought this car for a replacement to my 65 356 which I sold. I bought this car specifically because it HAD a hardtop. Well, the shipping company destroyed the hardtop or lost it and now there is no hardtop. I am moving 3 hours away for work and am losing my garage. A car with no top doesn't really work well without indoor storage. If you check you will see I am selling 2 other cars as well. So here is what I can tell you. This is one of the original 660 Intermecannica Speedsters built in the 70's. That's another reason I took a liking to this car. It has been verified by intermeccanica. It has the correct hinges. It was built in 1978 and has just over 33k miles. The engine is freshly rebuilt with less than 300 miles and runs like a dream and is oil leak free. There are many authentic period pieces on this car. For example, the steering wheel alone is a 2-4k piece if you can find one. The shifter knob, the license plate shine down, etc are all vintage 356. The gauges are early 912 but still look right because they are Porsche gauges. The floor pans are solid and are heavy gauge steel. The car is /was built to be a gulf tribute (obviously), but also has an outlaw Patina look that adds to the authenticity. There is pitting in the chrome, a small crack on the windshield, the shipper put a tarp on the car after "losing" the top, so there is burn through (as pictured) on the front fender. There is a pretty good amount of stress cracking in the paint which is really invisible unless you try really hard to look for it.. So in general, you are buying a patina 356 replica. I personally think it looks much cooler than the dolled up cars that look like rolling show pieces. There is a full tonneau that covers the upholstery, and a soft top that isn't really functional at all. Finally there is a speedster hump that attaches behind the seats. In the pics it is just resting on top of the tonneau. It actually fits snug and looks good. The upholstery is in good shape but there is no carpet. A carpet kit and all other pieces for this car are easily gotten and not expensive. Finally, I am including an extra set of wide 5 10 slot wheels because I know not everyone likes the orange Empis. I have to move by August 15th so I need to sell this and have it gone by then. I am going NO RESERVE so hopefully I will not need to list it twice. Do not bid and then disappear. Call me with any questions 410 215 5977. Attention Canadians, this car registers as a 68 VW, so you can import it easily. It is a VW pan and not a tube frame. You won't find a Speedster for low money anymore, they are going up, so get this one now while it is still a deal, do some work and earn some profit. Denis |

Drive-up bank robbery perpetrated with Cayenne and WRX
Sat, 14 Sep 2013Thieves carried out what appears to be a movie-script-perfect robbery of a bank in Sydney, Australia early on Friday morning, using two stolen high-performance vehicles in the process.
At around 11:15 AM local time, in near mid-day light, reports say that two men in masks smashed into the side of a Westpac bank in a confirmed-stolen black Porsche Cayenne. The perpetrators were armed with sledgehammers according to witness reports, and took only about five minutes to take what they were after inside of the bank.
The rapid getaway was executed in a Subaru WRX, also confirmed as a stolen vehicle, while witnesses snapped camera phone images of the illicit goings on. One Twitter user posted a few of the images to his social media feed; you can take a look at them in our small gallery below. Follow on down for the full video report, from The Sydney Morning Herald.
Porsche Macan configurator lets you build $110k crossover
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Part of the idea behind the new Porsche Macan is that it's less expensive than its larger sibling, the Cayenne. But with a starting MSRP of $49,900, the base Macan S is actually $300 more expensive than the cheapest Cayenne. That, however, is just the start, as you can see from the online configurator.
As is often the case with German cars in general (Porsches especially), tick the right boxes and you'll soon be leaving that base price behind in a cloud of tire smoke. Start off with the Macan Turbo and you're looking at a base MSRP of $72,300, which is already over twenty grand more than the naturally-aspirated version. But even that soon escalates as the options pile on.
Aurum Metallic paint will set you back $3,120. 21-inch wheels, another $3,300. You'll probably want the air suspension, torque vectoring, the Sport Chrono package, adaptive cruise control and lane-change systems, and those each add over a grand to the price. A Burmester surround sound system is the single most expensive option at $4,290. And if you choose them all - and choose all the optional trim packages - you'll soon be looking at a price in excess of $110,000. That's enough to get you into a Cayenne Turbo... assuming you don't tag on all the options to that one, too.
Porsche gives Nick Murray exactly what he deserved [w/video]
Sat, 19 Apr 2014The tale of Nick Murray and his lemon Porsche 911 appears to have come to a satisfactory end. As noted in the original story about Murray, he and Porsche Cars North America met and came to a resolution. However, we didn't know exactly what that meant, until now.
Murray has created a new video explaining that PCNA offered to buy back the car at full price or give him an exact replacement for it. This was exactly what he was asking for. Murray remains pro-Porsche in the new video. "I am definitely considering reordering a Porsche 911," he says.
Porsche also posted a message on its Facebook page that clarified the situation. "We at Porsche have always sought excellence in all that we do. We know you expect it of us. And when we don't meet that standard, we make every effort to improve," said a portion of the note.
