1963Porsche 356S t-6 B super coupe, body 212425, engine 703205 super, Ivory with red interior. I am selling this car in order to finish another project. The car has had new floor pans, longitudinals and battery box replaced. Any rust was cut out and replaced with appropriate reproduction stamped panels. I purchased the car 85% through restoration, The engine has been rebuilt to stock specifications using Mahle 1600cc pistons and the correct super heads and rocker gear, maybe 1000 miles of use. Rebuilt Original Zenith carburetors allow the car to idle smoothly at 600 RPM, and exellerate strong. The transmission shifts smooth and the clutch is good as well. The braking system has been completely rebuilt with a dual master cylinder, all new lines, rebuilt wheel cylinders, new brakes and lots of lining left on the drums. The front end has had new king and link pins and has been aligned. The car does not leave a spot of oil on the ground after use. The tires are good on original 4.5" steel rims. The chrome is good driver quality with some blemishes. All of the lights work except a few in the instrument cluster. The vinyl interior is in very nice condition with some small scuffs. The headliner is new and tight. The paint is bright. known flaws are one hood hinge is not locking up, occasionally the left blinker does not blink. This car can be driven and enjoyed on a daily basis. It is not a concourse quality restoration, my reserve reflects that, but a car that turns heads everywhere it goes and will allow it's owner to enjoy the Porsche experience. The car is available at any time for inspection.

2015 Porsche Boxster GTS [w/video]
Thu, 22 May 2014You know the sound: the startling pop-brraaap-pop-pop shotgun fire of unspent flammables coursing through exhaust pipes that usually signals a raw, naughty powerplant beneath the hood.
But when you're nestled in the Porsche Boxster GTS' snug seats, it's not a crackling small block V8 or a high-strung Italian flat crank making the devilish racket, but rather the new king of the Boxster/Cayman lineup, a 3.4-liter flat-six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Within the emotional vacuum of a spec sheet, the Boxster GTS' pumped-up grunt seems pretty mild, with a gain of only 15 hp and 7 lb-ft, respectively. But the reworked acoustical experience goes a long way towards suggesting the GTS has a trace of racing blood in its veins, and might even be missing its catalytic converters. In addition to the sonorous, centrally positioned tailpipes, the cabin also fills with lovely mechanical strains thanks to the "Sound Symposer" acoustical amplifier that's trickled down into the Boxster/Cayman lineup from the 911 for the first time. Boxster S, we hardly knew ya.
Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
