Up for sale is my 1960 Porsche 356 B Super Coupe  #113896, a great running car, solid throughout, well maintained over the years. The factory color on the driverside door hinge cover is 738 or "Elfenbein" (Ivory). The paint has great depth and reflection and is very sharp on the car for being an older restoration. The previous owner said that the car was painted in the early 1990s.  There are a few minor knicks/scratches from over the years, but the the overall integrity of the paint is very fine reflecting how well it has been cared for during the years.  This Porsche presents very well and is very attractive. It shows well and brings you over to look at the car. The front of the car has hard to find Marchal foglights as well as stone screens over the headlights. The chrome on these is perfect!. The lights are in working order. Again, all lights work, horn, tachometer, speedometer, gas tank gauge, temperature gauge, windshield wipers and radio are all working. The odometer is currently not working. Emergency brake holds well, engine compartment opens easily with a pull of the knob by the rear seat and the front bonnet opens easily with a pull on the knob under the dash.  The chrome on the car is in excellent condition: bumper guards are excellent as are the mirrors and luggage rack on the engine lid. Hubcaps and wheels are striking, again the chrome is excellent. The chrome window frames for the front windows and quarter windows on both sides are very clean and their chrome is brilliant as well. The BF Goodrich tires are near new and the car "tracks" very well as it goes down the road at 55 miles per hour. It does not pull to one side or the other. The clutch is fine and all synchros are fine. The car shifts smoothly in all forward gears as well as reverse. There is no clutch chatter or anything of the sort. The car maintains its original 6 volt system and  and carries  a 6 volt Optima battery for ease of starting. Once the key is in the ignition and after pressing the accelerator once, the engine roars to life and runs without any hesitation. The carburetors were changed over to Webers and the car idles evenly at 750 rpm and will hold this idle indefinitely without touching the accelerator.  I have taken pictures of the engine and it appears to have been rebuilt fairly recently. Pushrod tubes look shiny and the engine case is very clean all over. The engine has an unstamped third piece.  The original heat control boxes were maintained on the car and all of the cables are hooked up for the heat on the car. The original drum brakes stop the car evenly and well with no pulsation or pulling to either side. Brake drums have been media blasted and are very clean. There is one bubble on the driver side door and some "waviness" on the bottom of the driver side door close to the front of the door. This isn't bubbles but waviness as you run your hand over it. The bottom of the doors are very solid and there is no scaly rust nor rust holes on the bottom of the doors. There is one small spot on the rear of the car about the size of a pencil eraser. I have shown pictures of this so that you can get an exact idea.  Fitment of the door and hood and engine lid are excellent and all close well and maintain their gaps. The floors are excellent throughout as can be seen by the photos. Jackspurs look good. It appears that there was a minor repair on the passenger side longitudinal at some point but it is overall very solid. The interior is very nice, seats are in excellent condition, the chrome hinges/recliners on the seats are excellent, back seats show well, German weave carpets are clean and show well, headliner appears original and has faded slightly but is in very good condition. We have ordered the COA from Porsche and will forward this to the new owner. As we note, the car came to us with the "Super" emblem and we believe the car to be a Super.  

I have posted over 150 photos on the link below:

Porsche testing new 911 GTS

Wed, 28 May 2014

Porsche may have one more vehicle in its stable with the GTS moniker, if these spy shots are any indication. They show off the presumed 911 GTS lapping the track - the model meant to slide in under the GT3 to be a bit more driver-friendly but still very fast alternative to a stock Carrera.
At first glance, it might look like any other 911, but the devil is in the details. The most obvious among the differences are two centrally mounted exhaust outlets, rather than the ones closer to the corners on most of the current models. They also aren't perfectly in the center like the GT3. The taillights are also somewhat thicker than the current ones, and the rear decklid is split into three exposed sections.
This is the third time we've seen the presumed GTS. The first was as a coupe late last year. Then it showed up again in March testing in convertible form. Although, that version also sported fender vents at the rear.

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week. For more information, visit Robb Report online or check out the full press release from Porsche below.

World Car of the Year finalists announced

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
