1959 356 A 1600S Cabriolet
If your looking for 99% complete matching numbers 1959 356 A 1600S T2 Cabriolet to restore, this may be it. This is the last year of the A coupes and is sold with a clear Missouri Title. It’s a 1959 model year, built in 1958 and bodied by Reutter, Vin # 151464 and color code is 603 (white). I know the car isn't worth $99,356.00, I’m looking for serious offers though. This car restored is now selling for $170k plus. (Look all 400+ photos to see actual condition) The car was stored outside at one point, but is now undercover. The prior owner removed the engine from the car and stored it inside. This almost complete car, less the rusted out areas, is also missing the pushrods, some engine tin, oil intake, radio, pistons & cylinders and valve covers. The original hardtop is rusted badly, the soft top frame is in decent condition and may be missing a buckle, I also purchased replacement chicken wing brackets for the soft top frame from Autos International. The door locks / latches aren’t keeping the doors closed. The original Kronprinz wheels are date stamped, one is ‘57 and three are ’58, currently I have spare rims on the car, I reserve the right to put the original rims back on prior to sale completion and keep the rims that are shown on the car. The engine number is 83061 - 616/12 1600s and case number 27580/1600s and is correct for model year. Beside missing engine parts mentioned above, the pulley is cracked. The front windshield is also cracked, see photos. The interior and seat are complete, but rough. The tires have dry rot, but have newer inner tubes and also missing some lug nuts. Currently the car has no brakes as they have been disconnected. The steering wheel and horn button has a crack or is broken. The chrome on the front bumper overriders is very nice considering and the rear bumpers are broken along with tail lights. No Kardex or tool kit. I have over 400 photos for you to look at, copy and paste links below. http://s1014.photobucket.com/user/splash851/library/ or slide show http://s1014.photobucket.com/user/splash851/slideshow/ Please ask all any any questions prior to bidding or making an offer and I’ll do my best to answer them. I’ve tried my best to describe this car accurately, but may have missed something, I have nothing to hide, that’s why I took so many photos. Again serious offers only !! I will accept deposit only through Paypal of $1000, balance to be paid through wire transfer within 5 days. I reserve the right to end the auction as I have also advertised it on other websites as well as local. I’m a member of 356 Registry and belong to a local 356 club, so buy with confidence. The car is being SOLD AS-IS, WHERE IS, buyer responsible for transport. |

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer
Mon, 07 Oct 2013An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
2015 Porsche Boxster GTS [w/video]
Thu, 22 May 2014You know the sound: the startling pop-brraaap-pop-pop shotgun fire of unspent flammables coursing through exhaust pipes that usually signals a raw, naughty powerplant beneath the hood.
But when you're nestled in the Porsche Boxster GTS' snug seats, it's not a crackling small block V8 or a high-strung Italian flat crank making the devilish racket, but rather the new king of the Boxster/Cayman lineup, a 3.4-liter flat-six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Within the emotional vacuum of a spec sheet, the Boxster GTS' pumped-up grunt seems pretty mild, with a gain of only 15 hp and 7 lb-ft, respectively. But the reworked acoustical experience goes a long way towards suggesting the GTS has a trace of racing blood in its veins, and might even be missing its catalytic converters. In addition to the sonorous, centrally positioned tailpipes, the cabin also fills with lovely mechanical strains thanks to the "Sound Symposer" acoustical amplifier that's trickled down into the Boxster/Cayman lineup from the 911 for the first time. Boxster S, we hardly knew ya.
