READER AD: 1977 Porsche 911S Targa

The seller of this Porsche 911 Targa points out that it mimics the style of Magnus Walker’s 1976 Minerva Blue Turbo Porsche. While it may be a repaint, the color combo is sharp and rarely seen. It’s a rust-free… more»

Engine Swap Candidate: 1969 Porsche 911 Targa

While it looks like it was just rescued from a junkyard, this 1969 Porsche 911T appears to be someone’s stalled project given the amount of spare sheetmetal included in the sale. This is a Targa roof car, making it… more»

Unusual Factory Option: 1968 Porsche 912

For Porsche, the 912 was a sales success. It initially outsold the 911, and between its introduction in 1965 and the (first) end of production in 1969, Porsche was able to sell in excess of 32,000 of these little… more»

Rare Hardtop: 1961 Porsche 356 Cabriolet

Normally, I’m not a fan of convertible 356s, but the hardtop in this instance changes my opinion. Factory hardtops are often hard to come by, likely because they’re an expensive option when new and most convertible buyers likely don’t… more»

Non-Matching SC: 1964 Porsche 356

One of the things that sellers occasionally do that really impresses me is to track down the correct engine for a car missing its numbers-matching unit. This 1964 Porsche 356 is a genuine SC, one of the more desirable… more»

Golden Project: 1971 Porsche 911

If you’re in the market for a long hood 911 project, then may we suggest this one? It has been off the road since 1979 but appears to be very complete and original. There are a few problems areas… more»

Basic B Coupe: 1963 Porsche 356

Do you ever think about how many people went absolutely nuts when the Porsche bubble was expanding daily, paying huge premiums on otherwise completely average Porsche 356 carcasses? It’s refreshing to see cars like this somewhat rusty B coupe… more»

911 Alternative? 1981 Porsche 924 Turbo

There was a time, not long ago, where I was damn sick and tired of turbocharging. It’s become fairly commonplace, offered as means of replacing actual displacement and turning once-glorious engines into timid, four-cylinder versions of their former selves…. more»

Aussie Super 90: 1960 Porsche 356

Over the years, I’ve gotten quite accustomed to searching through the Australian eBay pages looking for parts for my vintage Toyota HiAce project. As I’ve had to make some serious coordination happen as it relates to shipping items from… more»

Untouched Since ’76: 1958 Porsche 356

What a wonderful car: a 1958 Porsche 356 coupe, parked in a northern California garage in 1976 due to a faulty clutch – and not moved until recently. The 356 remains in excellent, survivor-grade condition and is now a… more»

We Bought This Porsche 911 Off Craigslist!

Craigslist is great, but there are certain vehicles that you just don’t expect to find on there. Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and air-cooled Porsche 911s for example. We are always watching for anything interesting, so imagine our surprise when this ’82… more»

Immaculate Example: 1970 Porsche 914-6

While a Porsche will probably never feature highly on my own personal wish-list, I will always have complete respect for nice examples like this 1970 914-6 Targa. In fact, calling it nice is doing it a disservice, as it… more»

Parked in ’91: 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera

If automotive archeologists someday unearth my first car, they won’t have much to debate as to why a young driver piloted a 1987 Accord sedan. It was very obviously mom’s car, passed down to the kids to thrash on…. more»

Black Plate Survivor: 1966 Porsche 912

Initially produced between 1965 and 1969, the 912 acted as Porsche’s entry-level offering, and also rated as a sales success. During its initial production run, 32,000 912s rolled off the line in just over 4-years. So successful was the… more»

Low-Mile Survivor: 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo

To purists of the Porsche brand, the 944 Turbo is one of a handful of models snobbishly referred to as a “Poor Man’s Porsche” – though anyone who has owned and maintained one could surely argue that point. However,… more»
