1957 356 Speedster Porsche Replica on 2040-cars
Manteca, California, United States
|
My caretaking duties have come to an end with my beloved 356 Porsche Speedster Replica.
This 1957 CMC Speedster Porsche Replica was built, per the previous owner, in 1979. It's a well sorted car, which has served my wife and I very well. We frequently (every 2 months) drive to Napa (90mi) and Sonoma(105mi) without any problems, ever. This 1957 Speedster is very tastefully prepared in, per the previous owner, signal red, black top, black 1/4 tonneau, black full tonneau, red/black dash, black carpets, 5 lug wheels w/ Porsche hubcaps, rally running lights (which stay on all-the-time for safety), rally hood straps, and light stone guards. It also had proper seats, stopwatch mounts for time trials and club rallies (I am keeping my working stopwatches, however the "show-non-working" watches will come with the car), shifter trim, dash eyebrow, and door panels prepared with speakers, but doesn't come with a radio. I love the sound of this car, fantastic music. This car is incredible in person. It's definitely an attention getter. It's just beautiful and will be missed. We're preparing another vehicle for historical races and have run out of room. This car owns the wood-floored garage. Living at home as a ornament in the garage pup. My personal museum-type piece shared with family and friends. It is fitted with a 1600 cc Engine, Italian vintage steering wheel (roughly near $2k on its own) and Black Dash Knobs and Shifter Knob. Speedster floormats (not shown, but will come with the car), 12V electrical, four wheel drum brakes, replica took kit, and owner's manual, Reutter Coachworks fender badge, and many other accents. I planned to do club rallys with the car, but haven't found any in our area and over the last few years I've fallen in love with Vintage Racing and therefore have decided to build a purpose built race car. So, this car was only used for wine trips with my wife and I. She's been treated very well; both of them. Titled as a 1957 Porsche making it exempt from emission or smog testing. Rare -- Comes with YOM plates! Will be transferred to the new owner! ($400 and a lot of work to get) There's a small tear on the driver's seat (see photos, not really noticeable in person).and there's a small patch in the convertible top. The gear box works fantastic, no synchro problems or reverse "pop out." It drives smooth and strong. Just a fantastic drive. Cruise @ 70mph without any problems. I drive max 70 mph, never went above that as I didn't want the RPMs to go too high as I heard it's not good for these engines. All gauges are working and from a 914. First thing I did was replace the gauges with a set of nicely refreshed gauges. So they work very well. Being an older build, and from what I was told, restored 10 years ago, I'm not too sure how many miles are on it. I've done everything I can to make sure she's running well, who wants to be stranded over 100 miles from home, right? So I've made sure it's kept up with oil changes, mechanics, etc, ... The engine bay is sealed - Most CMCs are not. I will miss her, but we are only temporary caretakers and now she's ready to be handed off to someone who can continue to care for her. Year: 1957 Make: Porsche Model: 356 Trim: Speedster Engine: 1600cc Transmission: 4-Speed Manual Exterior: Red Interior: Black Mileage: ? Vin: CA737367 Body Style: Replica Car Condition: Used Vehicle Type: Convertible 4 Cylinder 4 Speed Manual 2 Wheel drive -rear Vinyl Interior Non-smoker Garage Kept Warranty: None Financing can be made available through JJBEST - They're just awesome. So I can recommend them for anything. (I don't work for them. But have been treated very well and if you are looking for financing, I am a happy customer) |

Will Roegge makes 4K art of Jeff Zwart's 911 build and run up Pikes Peak
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Will Roegge has turned his camera on Jeff Zwart and provided another gem, this time documenting Zwart's run up Pikes Peak and BBI Autosport. Bertim Besha dropped out of high school, then worked his way up to founding his own shop, BBI, that gathers a crew of tuners who are just as fastidious about their work as the customers are about their cars.
They prepped the 991-series Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Turbo, the product of combining a 911 GT2 that was the most powerful car Zwart drove up the mountain with a GT3 Cup that Zwart thought had the best handling. Two TiAL turbos and a lot of fettling make for a 3.8-liter flat-six with 700 horsepower, 700 pound-feet of torque and a 7,800-rpm redline. Zwart drove it to a heartbreaking second place this year, finishing less than 1.2 seconds behind the Time Attack 1 class winner when his car suffered its first mechanical issue of the week.
The first video below covers Besha, BBI and the build, the second is Zwart's run. As if the visuals weren't enough, sit back and enjoy the shrieking of the "Hill Climb Special," which is what the constellation Sirius would sound like if it could bark.
Porsche Macan teaser reveals unique quad-LEDs
Fri, 11 Oct 2013In truth, all-but-undisguised prototypes for the upcoming Porsche Macan compact crossover have been spotted galavanting all around the globe for some time now, but even the least-camouflaged examples have been caught wearing eyepatches covering their headlights and taillights. A dark new teaser image from Porsche clues us in to why that is - the baby Cayenne is getting unique quad-LED peepers up front.
Porsche has been hinting at lighting innovations in its production cars through recent concept reveals, including the stunning Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo showcar from last year's Paris Motor Show. The wagonized Panamera also featured four-point LED arrays up front, as well is in the rear, so it seems likely that this lighting will become a Porsche design signature going forward.
Powerpoint slides leaked from a recent dealer meeting suggest the Macan S will arrive packing a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, while the Macan Turbo will boast a 3.6-liter force-fed unit, with both models receiving seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearboxes. Pricing is expected to range from $52,000 for the S model to $75,000 for the Turbo.
Despite premium carmakers going downmarket, luxury auto sales stick at 10-11%
Thu, 16 Jan 2014According to research conducted by global information company IHS Automotive, the leporine birthing of new models by luxury manufacturers over the past six years hasn't increased their market share in the US. Even as car sales reached 15.6 million units, IHS says what's happened instead is that luxury buyers are merely moving from one brand to another, moving from larger luxury vehicles into hot segments like compact luxury crossovers or leaving the market at the same rate as other buyers enter.
Whether broken out by makes or by segment, market share has rollercoastered inside a narrow band from 10.5 to 11.5 percent since "at least" 2008. Closer investigation reveals the shifting boundaries in the aspirational pond, with brands like Mercedes-Benz and Audi gaining territory as Lexus and Lincoln lost it, and Saab and Hummer were buried, dead, under it. One neat note is that Tesla has gone from a share of zip to .12 percent.
The subcompact and compact crossover segments show growth, with those little high-riders jumping from .3 percent to 1.16 percent of overall industry sales. Their rise, though, is concomitant with the decline of four other segments: compact and midsize cars and fullsize cars and SUVs. We think the next few years that will tell if the small-car expansion can overcome the large-car retraction, with a phalanx of smaller offerings like the CLA only recently hitting the market and others like the GLA, Macan and Q1 doing so in the near future.
