Differently from the last week, this friday we close with an heavyweight. That’s an early 911, once painted in Irish Green, then in this beautiful copper shade: must say that the paint job is very well made. The seller, a Porsche specialist, says that this is a matching number car which, with the exception of… Read More Air cooled copper: 1965 Porsche 911
Finally a Craigist ad with a lot of quality photos. This one is about a m.y. 1975 911S which is said to be a survivor, so without any repaint or any kind of restoration, even partial, also because it is said to haven’t never been crashed. We know that the 2.7 is the less desirable… Read More Preserved Sahara: 1974 Porsche 911S 2.7 Coupé
This is the typical “stalled project”: a Porsche 356 to be transformed in “outlaw style” but, this time, using a flat-four Subaru WRX Turbo engine and transmission: that’s what we call “lateral thinking”. That’s a really strange idea: for sure it’s the first time we see such choice as the typical engine used in these… Read More Japanese flat-four: 1961 Porsche 356 “Outlaw”
This 1965 Porsche 911 belongs to the very rare bunch of Porsche type “901”: we would never have known these Porsches as “911” if Peugeot did not claim its copyrights on the three digits with a zero in the middle. So, what we have here is a very rare ’65 911 covered with a lot… Read More Miss you grandpa: 1965 Porsche 911
Update, november 4 The car has been relisted here with a huge price reduction: the seller has posted more photos and now the car is titled as 1969. The asking price is now €58,550 (today $79,000). September 13 We never heard of mr. Grishman who is said to have built this 550 RS recreation, but… Read More Better than plastic: 1969 Grishman’s Porsche 550 RS evocation
Actually we don’t know the the building year of this car (we mean the Porsche body) as the seller doesn’t specify it; we suppose that this is one of the early “bumpers” cars so we arbitrarily decided to title it as a 1975 car. The seller doesn’t specify the story behind this car as well: it… Read More What you won’t expect: 1975 Porsche 911 “Bigfoot”
The seller says that this car (VIN 80798) belongs to his wife’s family since more than fifty years ago. It’s clearly a project car but, as the car has been in the same family for all these years, it should be almost complete and probably rustless (almost). As a project car, interiors have been disassembled… Read More The wife’s car: 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster
In the period between mid ’50’s and mid ’60’s many do-it-yourself builders engaged in building race cars, taking inspirations by european barchettas (mostly Ferrari) but with a cost much lower. The most famous of these guys was Bill Devin who established his workshop in El Monte, CA. He began to build fiberglass bodies using various… Read More The american way: 1960 Devin-D/Porsche Roadster
This Porsche 356 is said to be a 1965 “C” model: a quick check on the VIN number provided by the seller (#221373) confirms that. We like the blue of the paint which remind us a typical hot-rod shade. Needless to say that the Fuchs wheels fits always well on these cars. Interiors have been… Read More Gentle outlaw: 1965 Porsche 356 C
The seller says that this U.S. spec. 356 SC has been tuned by a known italian Porsche specialist, and since then it has run for about 1000 kms. It features a racing large stripe across the whole body which makes it look like a period racer. Interiors are quite dull but feature a couple of… Read More Striped Karmann: 1963 Porsche 356 SC
