I have for sale an extremely nice 1992 Porsche 359 D replica, complete with roll up windows. I purchased the car for its original owner who had purchased it at an auto show in California in the early 1990's from a Canadian manufacturer. The car was and still is equipped with a Kilometer Odometer and Speedometer. (This is easily changed out with a US gauge) He kept the car in California for a number of years and then drove it to his second home in Oregon. From then on it became the weekend country club and dinner date car. The car is titled as a 1963 Volkswagon. I called Henry at Intermecannica to see if it was one of his cars. I sent him numerous pictures and he surmized that it was, although he could not completely explain why the VIN # did not start with IM. It has the tubular frame, the larger, wider foot area in the cabin for the driver and passenger, the trigger short shifter, the correct door panels, the hartz cloth top, the hartz cloth boot, etc, etc. It even has windshield washers that actually work. A current style radio is installed with the blue tooth option. It has the normal chips and small scratches that are associated with a car of its age. I have owned a 2007 Speedster replica by a California manufacturer and there is no comparison. This car is as solid as a rock and I would not hesitate driving it anywhere. The doors close like a real German car. The windows roll up and down flawlessly and the top actually fits like a glove. It has a 1600 VW engine with twin carbs that starts effortlessly and performs as it should. There is a small oil leak that I suspect would be corrected by a valve cover gasket. It is very minimal and usually disappears the more it is driven. All of the lights, turn signals etc. work as they should. The heater and blower work very well. Also included with the sale is an original style shifter and 4 chrome wheels. Please call Steve at 913-634-0040 with questions. I will answer them the best that I can. I am only selling because of an opportunity to purchase a late model C4S from a local PCA member. Take a look at the pics and call with questions. Thanks for looking.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
