This nice little T-5  sunroof coupe has resided in a private collection for many years. This is a numbers matching car with a nice solid chassis and runs great. Completed in February 1960 this factory sunroof coupe was ordered with the Super engine option. The paint is very good and shows virtually no chips and scratches and the chrome is also very presentable. The interior is in excellent condition and shows very well. The Kardex shows it was originally equipped with the sunroof as well as Super engine, headrest (missing), armrest, dimmable mirror, Becker Mexico radio (missing), chrome wheels (now 5 1/2’s) and Cocoa mats(missing). It was very rarely that these car came with all these options. If you have been looking for an affordable sunroof 356 that is very presentable and just needs to be enjoyed, this is it.

Description:

Here is a rare opportunity to acquire a 1959 fully documented Carrera 1600 GS. This is nicely documented car and features its numbers matching Four Cam engine (692/2 plain bearing motor# 93017). This special 1959 Carrera GS came from the factory painted silver metallic and has been featured in two prominent US Porsche Collections. This is a chance to own a ultra-rare A body Carrera that has been fully sorted and ready to be enjoyed.

This 1958 Speedster has come along way, a Cinderella story you might say.

Elaine Gale found this Speedster abandoned in an open lot in Vero Beach, Florida some 25 years years ago.  When she got home she couldn’t wait to tell her husband about the poor little 356 she had found.  The next day she and Jack hunted down the Speedster’s owners and a deal was struck.  Jack and Elaine knew just the right people to restore their matching number beauty.  Harvey and Linda Smith in Cave Creek, Arizona were called upon to bring this Speedster back to her original glamorous self.  The Smiths worked tirelessly for almost two years and then nearly missed the ball, “the ball” being the 1992 Porsche Parade in Boston.  Not atypically, the Smiths arrived at the eleventh hour still working on the details.  The Parade went well indeed with the little beauty winning People’s Choice in her very first outing.  She then traveled back to Arizona for additional tweaking.  In 1993 at the Cincinnati Parade she won the 356 Division in Full Concours, no small feat.  The Manhattan Trophy for Best-in-Show that year went to a brand new car that had only delivery miles, was taken apart, and prepared to the tens.  The Gales became disenchanted with concours where you had to compete with new cars; consequently they sold this Speedster.  The car’s history then takes a couple of turns and it virtually vanished for over ten years.  One Sunday morning it appears on EBay!  We looked at the pictures and found no flaws to pick so we hit the buy it now price and anxiously awaited its arrival.  The wait was full of anticipation and as she rolled off the truck there was Cinderella, once more in the lime light.  While strolling through a Barns and Noble a few months later, out of the corner of my eye I see her again, this time on the cover of Ultimate Garages II, a hardbound book to warm any car junkie’s heart.  I immediately purchased the book and brought it over to our Cinderella.  A late decision was made to show her one more time at the San Deigo Parade in 2007 but time was short.  With only two days of preparation the 25 year-old restoration was good enough to score over 288 points (out of 300 possible) and place her in a spotlight one more time.  Jack and Elaine Gale and Harvey and Linda Smith should look upon their Speedster like proud parents.  Not many restorations can stand the test of time. In this case all you can say is that she has aged well indeed.

Late in the 1994 model production year, during one of the worst years ever for Porsche (only 1800 cars sold in North America) a new option package for the 3.6 Turbo appeared on the fax machines of dealers all over the world.  It was called the Turbo S Flachbau Package.  The world economy was just starting to see daylight from a recession and Porsche enthusiasts were awaiting the all new 993 when Rolf Springer in the Wunderwunsch “special wishes” Department was given one last mandate: go build the ultimate Turbo.  Thus the Turbo “S” Flachbau was born, a slantnose featuring exposed headlights.  It went on to become one of the rarest production Porsches ever built.  This Flachbau is one of only 39 of these models to reach our shores and one of only 79 sold worldwide.  Our Turbo “S”  Flachbau was originally sold On May 31st, 1994 in Barrington, IL.  It had a stunning MSRP of $166,022, including the $60,179 Flachbau option, quite a sum over 15 years ago.  Having traveled only 2,200 miles since new, this Turbo has scored 294 points (out of 300) in national concours competition.  It is well optioned with carbon fiber dash, shift knob and e-brake handle, as well as having had red seat belts added.  We get calls and emails everyday asking for us to find a really rare Porsche that seldom come on the market.  Well, here we are!

This 930 is one of the rarest production Turbos in existance, a 1975 homologation 930 with only 16,000 kilometers.  The Turbos produced in 1975 were available to only a few well-connected Porsche enthusiasts.  The car was introduced the October 1974 Paris Auto Show – and it created quite a stir.  Porsche’s legendary turbocharged racecar prowess was coming to street cars.  The Turbos were packed with standard features (and a long option list supplemented them), helping Porsche justify the princely (for 1975) price of $26,500.

The car we present here is one of only 282 930 Turbos built in 1975 and undoubtedly one of the very few 100% original examples left.  The paint, interior and engine have traveled only 16,000kms since new and “Wow!” does the car show it.  The original paint is essentially flawless; the 35 year-old leather is incredible; and the engine is beautifully detailed.  This 930 comes to us from one of the world’s premiere Porsche collections.  The 1975 Turbos were not available in North America but two of them were exported to Mexico.  This 930 was discovered in Mexico and driven accross the border by a well-known Porsche enthusiast from Houston.  He had the car for many years before selling it to a professer in the area who displayed the car at Rennsport Reunion II at Daytona, where a good freind told us about the car.  We went to see it – and the rest is history, as they say.  We believe we are presenting the only opportunity a Porsche enthusiast will ever have to purchase a 100% original 1975 Turbo.  Naturally you would expect our price to be reflective the car’s scarcity and outstanding condition – but try us.

This Cabriolet is fresh from a multi year cosmetic restoration (not restored- by Road Scholars)  that started with a very good Southwestern car.  This 356 comes with a copy of the Kardex (that has no color information recorded) so they copied the colores found on and in the car.
The engine and transmission are freshly rebuilt and have 75 miles since the restoration. 

The red interior is by Auto’s International as well as the tan top. This is a fresh cosmetic restoration with no wear and tear waiting to be enjoyed for the first time all over again.

1967 911S Targa        VIN: 500189S       Engine: 960434 (2.7 liter)

The 67 911S is a cool Porsche. This 911S has been owned by one of our good friends and customer for many years. The paint is unbelievable, and in show condition. The incredible part of the paint is it is 25 years old and still flawless. There are no signs of any body work or damage showing through on the car. It is a rust free Arizona car and it shows.

The chassis is excellent with no signs of rust or repairs. The interior is great, showing virtually no wear and everything is in order. The original engine was lost many years ago and is a blessing in this particular case. Almost $20,000 was spent in the engine build of this “sleeper.” In place of the 2.0 liter, a 2.7 liter now resides with over 200hp at the rear wheels (and will it Go!).

To compliment the engine the suspension is well sorted, perfectly balanced and lowered just a touch. The wheels are wider 5 1/2s finished by Harvey Weidman to look just like the old 4 1/2s. Rarely do we get a car as well sorted as this 67 911S and one as beautiful to boot. This 911S is a winner, plain and simple.

Here is a lovely example of a Pre-A cabriolet. This is a wonderful driving car that is rust free and numbers matching. 1953 was the first year of the crested horn button an this car has all the correct little details. Although, it does have a later style convertible top rear window. It’s a real head turner and we couldn’t get over the way it drives. Everything works on the car like it should, and it’s ready to be enjoyed by a new home. It was originally painted Ivory from the factory per COA.
