Beautiful T1a Silver/red 356a Coupe Garaged Ca 100% Factory-metal Flrs #match 56 on 2040-cars
|
1957 Porsche 356A Coupe 1600, rare original silver/red color combination, 100% solid factory-metal floors. An early T1A Coupe that has been garage-kept in California since new, same title since 1970. Original numbers-matching engine with original carburetors, excellent running condition. Original Blaupunkt radio, speaker covers, steering wheel and shift knob. Restored approximately 25 years ago to factory specifications, still shows beautifully. No rust repairs anywhere in the floors, wheel wells, longitudinal or jack points - all original solid metal. Please note that all the factory undercarriage spot welds are visible and pristine, every nut easy to turn, hallmarks of a garaged California early Porsche. (Even good California cars often need some metal replacement in the floors or longitudinals, only cars garaged since day one look this original underneath). No restoration work has been performed on this car in over 20 years, other than mechanical upkeep. The date-stamped original gas tank was recently cleaned and re-lined, and brakes are redone. New tires were installed last week. Paint is approximately 25 years old and shows beautiful. The previous owners have large commercial real estate holdings in the Northern SF Bay Peninsula. They own one of the largest collections of early slot machines in California, and this Porsche 356A was stored the past 25 years amongst their vast array of early California memorabilia. Many of the slot machines are worth over $250,000, and this Porsche was a fitting part of this treasure trove. We specialize in early Porsche models, and I was excited to acquire this wonderful T1A Coupe and present it here. (The COA is on order, but Porsche North America already verified the original color combination and engine number by phone).

Porsche 911 RSR stops just long enough to have its photo taken
Tue, 04 Mar 2014When it comes to Porsche and its rapidly escalating endurance racing program, all eyes may be on the new 919 Hybrid - and with good reason: that's the vehicle with which Porsche will be challenging the likes of Audi and Toyota for wins in the top-tier LMP1 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship and at Le Mans. But it's the 911 RSR that does and will continue to form the backbone of the factory's effort.
The 470-horsepower racing version of the road-going 911 took a one-two finish in its class at Le Mans last year, and also won its class at the Daytona 24 this past January as well. This year Porsche will field two of them in the WEC, another two in the United SportsCar Championship here in the US and will sell countless more to customer racing teams that will undoubtedly continue to rack up trophies in racing series around the world. This, then, might be a unique chance to see one standing still. Check it out in our gallery of live images above from the Geneva Motor Show.
Magnus Walker turbocharges his love for the Porsche 911
Thu, 31 Oct 2013He's had his fill of early, long-hood Porsche 911s - he owns at least one from each model year, from 1964 to 1973 - so Magnus Walker, a fanatic of the Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker, recently set his sights on the early Porsche 930, as documented by this XCAR video called 'Turbo Fever.' Let us translate: pretty soon Walker will own all of the earliest, non-intercooled 911 Turbos - at least one from each model year, starting at 1975 and ending at 1977 (though the 1975 911 Turbo Carrera never officially was imported to the US by Porsche, so it'll be tougher to find one Stateside).
Any Porsche enthusiast can tell you why they love their car, and it often comes down to the small details that differentiate one model year from another. One of many examples is the mid-'80s 928. They look similar, but the basic difference between a 1984 Porsche 928 S and a 1985 928 S (US-spec) is two camshafts and 54 horsepower, though each car's V8 has its own pros and cons. We'll let Magnus Walker tell you all about the 930 and what makes the first three years special, as he's becoming quite the expert on early, air-cooled 911s. When the nearly 15-minute mini-documentary was filmed, which you can view below, he already had added four early 930s to his collection!
24 Hours of Le Mans an on-and-off love affair
Mon, 24 Jun 2013There was little usual about this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans - intermittent rain in the weeks before the race meant cars didn't get on track as much as they wanted, and intermittent rain during the race meant cars went off track a lot more than they wanted. The race started with a wet track, and one of the records broken because of the random downpours was the number of times the safety car led the field - 11 times this year - although the record of two hours and 53 minutes of lapping behind the safety car, set in 2011, was not eclipsed.
None of that served to dampen the action. With little more than an hour left in the race there were cars still only a few seconds apart fighting for position, leads still changing because of pit stops and everyone drafting anyone they could.
Things didn't go the usual way up front, either - well, not exactly...
