How do you get a 12-cylinder engine? You design it from scratch or, more simply, merge two 6-cylinder engines. The latter is the solution that, more or less, Porsche has adopted to build the 917 engine. And it is also the solution that Norwood (a shop well known for its ability to make faithful replicas… Read More Horizontal fan: 1970 Porsche 917K replica by Norwood
Few days ago we’ve found a photo of a totaled Porsche 356B T5 and we posted it onto our FB page: that photo belongs to an actual ad. The car is almost irrecoverable: in fact it is, but at a cost that would greatly exceed its value once restored. What really matters here is the… Read More No emel: 1961 Porsche 356B T5 Coupé
“Call for more photos and any questions,” says the seller of this 1954 Porsche 356 which, at least apparently, appears to be in an exceptional state of preservation. Obviously, as the description of the car is missing, we can only make assumptions: if the car was actually stored and is today in these conditions then… Read More Old ivory: 1954 Porsche 356 Coupé
We are often puzzled by how wide can be the price difference of these cars: of course conditions matter as well as the originality and the numbers of the car, but you can easily find the same kind of car for sale with a price difference of $50-100k with no apparent reason. This particular car… Read More Special brakes: 1958 Porsche 356 A Speedster
One owner, sitting in a garage since 1986, no rust, never been crashed, matching numbers: there is not much more that you can ask to a classic car, and that’s even more important if that the car is a 911. The only stain of the resume of this car is that the actual color is… Read More Patina mistress: 1971 Porsche 911 T 2.2
After having browsed thousands of ads, we learned a golden rule: the more the car is (or might be) interesting, the less the words used to describe it. This is an example of such rule. The car under examination is indeed an aluminium car which is said to have been crafted but the german coachbuilder… Read More Aluminium body: 1957 Porsche 356/550 by Wendler
This 356 T1 Coupé is a very nice survivor which has been close to death: it survived to a garage fire which has leaved its mark over the body: it could be worse, much worse than that. However, the good thing is that the fire burned a small area of paint on the rear corner… Read More Close to death: 1956 Porsche 356 A T1 Coupé
There is enough stuff to rebuild this rare 356 SC (chassis #162087) which has been disassembled 19 years ago in order to restore it, however many parts are missing. The seller says that all the body and metal work has been completed by previous owner and ready to be painted but, as already mentioned, for… Read More Much metal: 1965 Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet
It’s hard to improve the job of a genius like Ferdinand Porsche, even if who wants to improve it is another genius like Giovanni Michelotti. Indeed the result is quite odd but not beautiful. This Porsche 356 T6 coupé, the existence of which was totally unknown by us, was an attempt made by the swiss… Read More Restyling attempt: 1961 Porsche 356 B T6 Coupé by Ghia-Aigle
We agree with the seller of this 356 A Cabrio (chassis #151513) about the fact that while Speedsters and Convertible D are often on the market while that’s not the same for the A Cabrio: this is one of the last made and that’s actually in good shape. That doesnt’ mean that with some tlc… Read More Floors and top: 1959 Porsche 356A T2 Cabrio
