The car is done in the style of the 911 ST, finished in yellow with a wide white stripe running the entire length of the car and two white stripes on both sides. It is in excellent condition and is equipped with front and rear tow eyelets, external bonnet latches, Cibie driving lamps, dual side-view mirrors, a ducktail rear spoiler, chrome rear bumperettes, central dual-exit exhaust outlets, and red-painted calipers over discs at all four corners.

It has been six decades since a two-door 2+2 high performance rear-engined sports car, the Porsche 911, was introduced by Porsche AG of Stuttgart. However, in 1966, Posche introduced a more powerful version of this model, the 911 S. It was produced until 1973, when it was replaced by the 911 Carrera RS. One of the coupe models, the 1970 Porsche 911S is up for auction.

The Porsche 911S is powered by a rebuilt 2.2-liter flat-six engine paired with a replaced 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. In 2016, the cooling fan, fan housing, alternator, oil level sender and spark plug wires were replaced. It is mounted on 15″ Fuchs alloy wheels wrapped in 195/65 Continental ContiProContact tires.

The car is finished in Albert Blue, has been properly maintained and is in good condition. It is equipped with bright trim, a left-side mirror, bumperettes, gold badging on the rear decklid, a single polished exhaust outlet, European-spec H4 headlights, amber rear corner lenses, four-wheel discs with aluminum calipers and ventilated rotors. SSI heat exchangers have been installed also.

Inside, the Recaro seats are trimmed in black leatherette with corduroy inserts. In front of the driver is a four-spoke steering wheel behind which is a five-digit odometer showing 49,335 miles (total mileage is unknown). Additional equipment includes a Blaupunkt push-button radio, a heater, power windows, and Coco mats.

The Porsche 911S comes with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, an owner’s manual, service records, and a clean Illinois title in the name of the owner’s company.

The auction ends on April 2nd and the current highest bid is $100,000 USD.

1964 Porsche 356 SC is for sale

March 11, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

Since its premiere in 1948, the Porsche 356 has been considered one of the most desirable collector cars. For the first two years, the car was produced by the Austrian company Porsche Konstruktionen GesmbH, and from 1950 the production was taken over by the German Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche GmbH. It was Porsche’s first production car that was produced until 1965 when it was replaced by the legendary Porsche 911. It went through several revisions, the last of which was the 356 C model introduced for the 1964 model year. One such, a 1964 Porsche 356 SC coupe, was offered at auction.

The Porsche 356 SC is powered by an air-cooled 1.6L 616/16 flat-four (last run in the 1990s) with 2 Zenith 32 NDIX Carburetors, 107 hp (80 kW) and 91 lb-ft (123 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission. It is mounted on 15″ steel wheels wrapped in Michelin XZX tires.

The car was bought in the early 70s and used until the 90s. It is in a really bad condition, but that’s why it is ideal as a project. It is equipped with a driver-side mirror, a twin-grille engine cover, bright trim, twin exhaust outlets and four-wheel disc brakes. Also, the original Sky Blue has been replaced with Dark Blue.

Inside, the upholstery of the front seats is quite damaged, while the rest of the cabin is in not so bad condition. Additional equipment includes rubber floor mats, a wood shift knob, square weave carpeting, an analog dash clock, door pockets, and a Blaupunkt radio. The clock shows 46,133 miles (total mileage is unknown).

The car comes with service records, accessories, a driver’s manual, and a clean California title in the seller’s name. It is currently located in Corte Madera, California 94925, and will be an ideal project for someone.

The auction ends on March 13th and the current highest bid is $45,000 USD.
