Here is a nicely freshened up and sorted out Vintage Speedsters Brand 1956 Porsche 356 Speedster, with a very reasonable reserve. The car has kmh speedo, and it shows 19,450km, which translates to 12,140mph, and I have left it that way purely for the look. Everything on the car works great, including all the lights and accessories. The car sat in a building for awhile, and during the freshen up the Motor/Transmission was completely gone through about 2,000 miles ago, and at the same time the trans syncros and all the shifter bushings and motor mounts were changed, so this thing Shifts with ease with no trying to find gears. It has had the brakes gone through, and is a Front Disc Brake car, so stopping is not an issue. The Canvas Convertible top is only about 2 weeks old, so there isnt any fading or shrinking, so everything on the car looks very fresh. The paint is about 6 months old, so there isnt any rock chips or door chips in the paint, so it looks pretty fresh also. As you can see in the supplied YouTube video below, it is very hard to video this car, because it is to clean and bright, but I will try to make another video one morning or evening when the sun is lower.
Since it has warmed up in our area, I have been driving this car as a daily driver, and it is a very solid car. I live in a rural area, so from town to town is normally a 50 mile round trip, and the car cruises great down the interstate at speed. The Steering and Suspension is very tight, and the body is very solid with no squeeks or rattle, and I guess that is due to the reputable quality of the build brand. It has a nice CD/Stereo and is a very comfortable ride, so it has been a pleasure to drive. I have had alot of cars over the years, along with several various kit cars, and I have to admit these 356 Kits are very well sorted out, so you dont feel like you are driving some sort of piece together piece of crap like the old Bradley's and others.. LOL The car is currently registered and titled as a 1969 VW, so all the paperwork in current and in order.
Here is the YouTube video Link I have now, and I will try to get another one done and posted, possibly this evening when the sun goes down a bit.. This car is Clean and Bright, so I will have to catch right before dusk, in order for my Camera to not pick up all the glare.
This car is ready to go, and is ready to enjoy. I have a very low reserve on this car, and it thousands below what I have seen other lesser cars sell for on here, so it should sell.. I also have it advertised locally, so the auction can end at anytime.. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or need any additional information or pictures, because I want to represent this car as honestly as possible. I personally drive the car daily, so I can tell you exactly what I know about this car. I also have a very reputable and reasonable auto transporter I use, who is normally about half what Ebay Transporters Charge, and I will be happy to share that information with serious buyers, so you can get a shipping quote that will allow you to final total this sales transaction.

Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties
Wed, 14 May 2014These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.
Porsche celebrates Le Mans return with Martini edition 911
Tue, 10 Jun 2014If we've said it once, we've said it a hundred times - but we'll gladly say it again: there are few racing liveries as iconic as Martini. And while those stripes have adorned countless Lancia and Ford rally cars, grand prix racers (like the latest Williams) and even speedboats, they remain inexorably tied to Porsche. Fortunately that point is not lost on Porsche itself, which has lately put them on its own 918 Spyder, race-spec 911 and all manner of merchandise. And this is the latest.
To celebrate its return to Le Mans this year, Porsche Exclusive is offering this special Martini Racing Edition. It's based on the 911 Carrera S, which means the more potent 3.8-liter flat six with 400 horsepower, but upgrades, as you might have guessed, with a whole mess of Martini Racing stripes and logos, along with the Aerokit Cup front and rear spoilers. The badges and stripes abound inside as well, where you'll also find such optional extras as the Porsche Communication Management system, Bose audio and black leather electric sport seats.
Porsche is offering the 911 Carrera S Martini Racing Edition in either white or black, but unfortunately not in our market - just in Europe, China and Latin America. Those who miss out will (in certain markets anyway) be able to order the decal set separately though. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356
Wed, 14 May 2014Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
