1965 Porsche 356 C, 356c, Stunning Restored Car on 2040-cars
Redmond, Washington, United States
|
Hello All,
Here is a fantastic 1965 Porsche 356C up for auction. This stunning car has been restored top to bottom and shows very well, with no stones left unturned. The previous owner restored the car starting in 2003 and finished around 2007, and with my purchase of the car i was given a stack of receipts totaling around 50,000, but that is not nearly all of them, just what was found. It was estimated that around 80k was spent on the car and it shows.
Akers in seattle rebuilt the engine and tranny, and they both perform as they should. A couple pumps of the gas peddle and she fires right up. Engine sounds great and pulls hard. Receipts were lost for engine and tranny but akers in Seattle is who rebuilt them. Tranny shifts fantastic and the clutch has a nice feel to it. I do not have a heritage certificate with the car, but it is believed to be all matching numbers as it came from the factory. Body was built in 64 and so was the engine as per serial numbers, and previous owner stated that they are original to the car.
Interior is in beautiful condition with only minimal wear. All gauges and lights work as they should. Original radio was changed to a newer (old look) radio and it works great, plays cd, am/fm, tape etc. Original radio and speakers are included.
There is a small blemish on the driver seat, i believe on the piping from getting in and out, very small and not extremely noticeable.
The body on the car is extremely straight and all the gaps are amazing. Paint shines beautifully. Doors shut nicely, as do the hood and trunk lids. No rust whatsoever. When driving the car, she is super smooth and tight. No rattles or strange noises and soaks up bumps nicely. She pulls with plenty of power and inspires you to go just a bit faster.
All in all, the car is in beautiful shape and is an award winner. But she is a used car and is not in concours shape. As far as imperfections go, there is some minor pitting on the wheels, and on the chrome door frames. Nothing major but could be redone to bring it closer to a 100 point car, the drivers seat has a small wear mark on a part of pipping. The muffler is not correct, (Akers can supply a correct muffler for 450.00). And she has general wear from being driven. This an exceptionally nice car needing nothing to be driven and shown. Please look at the pictures as there is a ton of them and they paint a pretty good picture. Please ask any and all questions as im sure i forgot stuff. Feel free to call me if you are serious about the car at 425-802-8682. Thanks for looking

Porsche Supercup racer dies in crash in Australia
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Even with great strides made towards increasing the safety of motor racing, fundamentally it's still a dangerous sport. And now it has claimed another life.
That life belonged to one Sean Edwards, an accomplished GT racing driver. Edwards was killed at Queensland Raceway in Australia, riding shotgun in a Porsche 996 GT3 while acting as instructor. The driver was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries. Sean Edwards was 26.
The son of former F1 driver Guy Edwards (whose car he drove in the filming of Rush), Sean won the European GT3 Championship in a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and drove a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 to repeat victories at the 24 Hours of Dubai as well as this year's Nürburgring 24 Hours. Edwards had been competing in the Porsche Supercup, whose standings he currently leads with just two rounds to go, and could be crowned champion posthumously.
Roger Rodas' widow suing Porsche over Carrera GT crash
Tue, 13 May 2014
Investigations undertaken by local law enforcement may have vindicated Porsche from any wrongdoing in the crash that killed actor Paul Walker and racing driver Roger Rodas last year, but the latter's widow is apparently not convinced. According to emerging reports, Kristine Rodas has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Porsche Cars North America.
In her suit filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Rodas' attorney Mark Geragos reportedly disputes the findings of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which asserted that the vehicle was traveling at an unsafe speed of 90 miles per hour on city streets, identifying the speed as the cause of the accident. Instead the lawsuit claims that the vehicle was only going 55 mph and that the cause of the crash was improper equipment - namely a faulty right rear suspension and the lack of a crash cage and proper fuel tank.
Production Porsche 918 Spyder images leak out of Chinese patent office
Wed, 26 Dec 2012A few images of what looks to be the production Porsche 918 Spyder are here to say hello, courtesy of a patent office in China. If these provide an accurate look at what the hybrid supercar will look like, there are a few differences between it and the latest examples of the pre-production prototypes our spy shooters have seen.
The jerry-rigged turn signals inside the headlight enclosures and on the front fenders on the prototype are replaced with more polished units inside the headlamps located underneath the main beams. Behind that, the door handles have been swapped from horizontal latches on the door to vertical openings located just behind the door shutline.
We've also seen a Martini-liveried version of the 918 Spyder that has extra carbon elements that don't appear on this car. It was at the Nürburgring with carbon lips on the front fenders and another carbon element that hung from the rear fenders and ran down to the rear diffuser. When we saw the car on our Deep Dive piece, the front lips were gone but that rear piece remained, and we can't tell from the brochure and options sheet that we've seen so far what it comes with. The wheels from the concept and the green brake calipers, minus the polycarbonate covers, should be the standard fitment while the ten-spoke magnesium wheels will be a 29,750-euro (about $39,000 US) option.
