What is offered for sale is a 1964 model year Porsche 356 C restoration project. This California car was built in 1964,yet was titled as a 1965 model. The car is equipped with the original numbers matching 1600C engine and 4-speed transmission. Engine number is 713870. Tranny number is 79313. The original color of the car is believed to be Grey, with a red interior. The body is completely stripped to bare metal, and treated with a rust inhibitor.

The car was sidelined by an accident with a forklift at least 30 years ago (pre-1985), and has been a restoration project ever since. Prior to 1985, the damaged car was disassembled for repair and restoration. The second and third owners attempted to repair the damaged right fender and door without the benefit of replacement panels, and failed to complete the repairs. The fourth owner acquired the car about 4 years ago, and commenced a complete bare-metal restoration of the body, which disclosed prior damage to the front of the car that was not properly sorted out and repaired. To repair this damage, a heavy gauge replacement front nose clip was obtained from Trevor's, which is included with the sale. In addition, replacement panels were acquired to replace damaged or rusted areas of the car, including the front clip, front battery tray, front structural members, a complete body floor pan, and a right front fender skin.

The body was sandblasted completely, and a clear rust inhibitor applied. Existing bondo was removed from the areas of the right front fender, right door, and right door pillar. The floor pan was rusted out and removed. Replacement panels were acquired for the floor pan area, are not installed, and are included with the sale. The front lower valance bodywork was damaged and rusted, and the nose had prior damage that had been poorly repaired. A Trevor's brand replacement front nose clip was acquired to sort out the front end bodywork, has not been installed and is included with the sale.

The 1600C engine and 741 transmission were inspected, serviced and repaired by Porsche specialist David Loop of Monterey, California. The engine and transmission were in good condition according to Mr. Loop, who also installed new 2nd and 3rd gear synchros in the transmission.

A set of 15" fuchs alloys with center caps are included with the sale. They were acquired by a prior owner to replace the original steel wheels, which are no longer available. The tires are old and need to be replaced.

The windshield glass, both door windows, both door vent pieces and one rear quarter window are included. Apparently lost over time are the rear window glass, and one rear quarter window glass panel, which are not included in the sale. The interior door and trim panels, the rear seats, and both bumpers are missing and not included in the sale.

The gas tank has been treated with rust inhibitor and restored. Much of the chrome has been replaced or re-chromed. New rubber seals were acquired and are included. All gauges are original and appear still functional. The heater boxes and related sheet metal are complete and functional.

A total of 67 high resolution photos of the car can be seen here: <a href="link"> link </http://www.flickr.com/photos/baremetalbathtub>

During the 10-day duration of the auction, the car can be inspected in Monterey, California, by appointment.

The body is situated on a custom dolly and casters for ease of movement and restoration, and it is included in the sale.

Numbers matching 356's are getting harder to find every day, which is no surprise when one considers the astounding prices being paid for restored examples. Isn't it time for you to have one? After all, you deserve it, right?

Porsche 911 Targa leaks out ahead of Detroit debut

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

With the doors of Cobo Center opening for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Porsche is set to reveal its new 911 Targa in a matter of hours. But before it gets the chance, the first batch of images have already leaked out, courtesy of Chinese car site autohome.com.cn.
As expected, the new Targa appears to ditch the complex sliding glass roof panels that adorned recent versions of the semi-convertible 911 in favor of a more back-to-basics approach. An entirely removable roof panel opens up the sky, backed by a metallic B-pillar hoop in front of a large curved-glass rear window.
We'll have to wait just a little longer for the full scope of images and all the official details, but we're expecting the new Targa to carry most of the same technical specifications as the 991 on which it's based. Watch this space for more.

Porsche CEO hints at Macan GTS, expects brand sales growth to 200K+

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Porsche is expecting big things from its little Macan, with CEO Matthias Mueller announcing that not only is a sportier GTS model being considered, but that the CUV will almost certainly help push Porsche beyond its 200,000-unit-per-year sales goal three years earlier than expected.
"We're transferring the genes of the Porsche brand into a new market segment," Mueller said during a speech to kick off Macan production, according to Automotive News Europe. Macan demand should push the brand past 200,000 sales, Mueller said, confirming what we reported back in August. And if Porsche really has a hit on its hands, it is able to boost production of the sporty crossover beyond its initial capacity of 50,000 units, according to the brand's CEO.
Provided that the Macan is the success Porsche hopes it will be, Mueller hinted that the range could expand beyond the initial Macan S and Macan Turbo. "GTS versions have a tradition at Porsche," Mueller said. "We haven't made a final decision yet regarding the Macan, but I'm sure it makes a lot of sense."
