1960 Porsche D'ieteren Roadster, Last Single Grill Roadster Made, Needs Nothing on 2040-cars
Fairfax, Virginia, United States
|
1961 D'Ieteren Roadster. It is the last single grill example made, Nr 89483. The engine is built on a 1960 Normal case, number P604667. A very strong engine, it was rebuilt with Solex carbs, Mahle Ps and Cs, and a mild cam. There was a info sheet with details of the build but at the time of listing it has not been located. MSD distributor and ignition system. 12 Volt electricals, small diameter generator. Painted silver, it was originally finished in Ivory 6004. Gray square weave carpet with binding to match the Lobster leather.
The metal work, body, and mechanicals were done to a very high standard by Lowell Sivey approximately 10 years ago. No rust. It drives beautifully, and honestly needs nothing other than to be driven and maintained. It has been stored in a climate controlled garage, and driven less than 4000 miles since the work was completed. The odometer reads the miles driven since the restoration was completed, not the actual mileage, Routine maintenance was performed as needed. It was restored some years ago, and It is nicer in most ways than many freshly restored examples. The car is available for inspection by appointment in Northern Virginia. The buyer is responsible for timely pickup and shipment of the vehicle, we can suggest a reliable carrier. |

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Robb 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.

Porsche 918 Spyder pre-production version in all its almost-done glory
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Porsche continues the long tease of its upcoming 918 Spyder, with the latest instantiation here at the Pebble Beach Concours, with the car presented in pre-production form to the throngs on the golf course.
Just a few days ago Porsche dropped an image of the car on its official Twitter feed. True to that leak, this 918 looks damn near what we expect the full customer version to be when it is officially debuted in Frankfurt. The neon-green brake calipers are items new to this version of the 918, and seem to be an identical color to those found on the Panamera S E-Hybrid.
When it shows up as a drivable piece, expect the Porsche supercar, with its gasoline-electric drivetrain, to be pretty insane. Horsepower in excess of 800 ponies will be available with a toe-tap, while the price of entry is expected to come within shouting distance of $850,000. A good deal for Porsche to bring the thing to Pebble then, where buyers with that kind of cash are think on the ground (and most likely wearing sherbet-colored trousers).
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.
