This 1960 Porsche 356B 1600S Roadster was purchased by the late Bill Hallack in 1969. Bill was a long term member of the 356 Registry and was an excellent mechanic. Many of his “Porsche buddies” in West Michigan benefited from his expertise and talents… always freely given. When Bill purchased the car 45 years ago, he was on active duty in the Air Force. He bought it from a Captain at the Grand Forks, ND air base where they served. Bill and the Captain were both active in local sports car racing and that hobby is where Bill honed his exceptional mechanical skills. As a result, this car runs extremely well and is very solid throughout. No shake, rattle or roll with this gem! The car comes with a Porsche COA with the following information: Vehicle ID: 87000 Model / Year / Type: 1960 356 1600S roadster Engine Number: 84973 616/2 Transmission: 32884 741/1 Exterior Paint Color/ / Code: Ivory 6004 (now a very pale yellow) Interior Material Color / Type: Red Leatherette (now black) An honest description of the car and its current condition follows: The car has never been wrecked. It was restored in the mid-1990’s but still presents itself in a driven but excellent condition. Bill drove the car with a “bra” which protected the front end since the restoration. He and his wife Linda attended numerous 356 Registry events on the East Coast, Southeast and Mid-West over the years. Per owner, this car retains the original floors, longitudinals and even battery box. Stored in heated and air conditioned garage and truly babied. I just learned from an old friend of Bill's that the front fenders were modified to look like 550 Spyder lines prior to Bill purchasing the car in 1969.This is the only metal that is not as delivered from the factory. This was NOT done due to a wreck.Price reduced to reflect cost of correcting front wheel arch openings Linda Hallack has asked me (Doug McDonnell) to help her sell this beautiful car. From 1969 until his passing in January of this year, Bill Hallack was the only person who ever drove the car. Starting this spring, the owner’s son and I have periodically “exercised” the car. Body panel gaps are good, but not perfect. Hood gaps are OK but not what they should be (could be adjusted). No evidence of rust, but just in front of the driver’s door there are a very few "bubbles" in an area about the size of the tip of your finger apparently due to a paint prep issue in this area. Bill said that the bubbles have not worsened since they first appeared shortly after the restoration. The car is NOT numbers matching. The current engine was rebuilt and installed about 1- 1/2 years ago and is low mileage. Current odometer reading turned 88,889 today and will go up a small amount since the car is occasionally driven. This is the true mileage since new! More photos and a video of the engine running are available. Can be seen by appointment only, is located in Gull Lake, Michigan. Please contact me with any questions or to arrange for an inspection. PPI’s are encouraged and welcome. Please ask any and all questions, they will be answered quickly and honestly. Bra sheepskin seat covers and 5 original wheels are included in sale. I reserve the right to sell outside auction as car is also advertised elsewhere.

Although Bill always said that the car had never been in an accident(and his widow confirms none since purchase in 1969) When I had the car on a lift 9/8/14 for underside photos,I think there is "rippling" of inner fender that is lateral wall of trunk on the passengers side. However I am not a bodyman,just son of a mechanic. Fender itself shows no sign of damage and passes refrigerator magnet test. Also when I drove the car today on the recommendation of a noted 356 restorer I put my finger on the rear door gap while going over bumps. No pinched finger!

2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

I don't care who you are; when a new Porsche 911 rolls up in your driveway, that's a pretty good day. This was my very first experience with Porsche's 991 911, and after having spent time with just about every tune and trim of the last car, I was hotly anticipating comparing and contrasting.
Somehow (I don't remember sending out any cash-filled, unmarked envelopes) I'd scored a week in the 911 Carrera 4S over a long holiday weekend, too. That meant that I'd get to A) log a ton of miles in one of the best cars in the world, B) get to show-off the Porsche to family and friends and C) tempt cops in three states to pull me over. Good thing I've got the Autoblog traffic lawyer on speed dial...

The 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S brings 50 extra ponies to Detroit

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Porsche has announced a new version of its popular SUV today at the Detroit Auto Show: the 550-horsepower 2014 Cayenne Turbo S.
This newly minted "flagship" of the Cayenne lineup is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 engine, and offers 50 hp more than the Cayenne Turbo. Performance figures are impressive for the sleek utility vehicle: 0-60 miles per hour can be dashed off in 4.3 seconds, while maximum speed is rated at 175 mph. The Turbo S also gets dynamic chassis control, torque vectoring and Porsche's Sport Chrono package - all standard equipment.
Visually the Cayenne Turbo S differentiates itself from the lesser models in pretty subtle ways. Gloss black trim decorates the gawping front air intakes, as well as rear-view mirror trim panel. The SUV also wears 21-inch Turbo II wheels, a la the 911 Turbo.

Porsche tuners 9ff, SpeedArt going bankrupt

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

Times are tough in Europe right now, and that unfortunately has reaped disastrous consequences for some of its smallest niche automakers. Gumpert, Wiesmann, Artega and Lola have all filed for bankruptcy this year, and it appears that tuners are not immune to the tough times, either.
Word coming in from across the pond suggests that 9ff and SpeedArt - two of the biggest names in Porsche tuning - have filed for bankruptcy as well. 9ff is best known for the GT9, a radical hypercar barely based on the 911, while SpeedArt was once of the foremost tuners of Porsches.
Fortunately there are still plenty of tuners ready to take a wrench to your Elfen, but the reported demise of these two makes the market a little bit smaller and - for Porsche enthusiasts - maybe the world a little bit lonelier, too.
