THE DOLLAR IS SINKING, THE STOCK MARKET SUCKS! WHERE IS A PERSON SUPPOSED TO PUT HIS MONEY?
WELL, YOU CAN INVEST IN PORSCHES, PAINTINGS OR PRECIOUS METALS,
YOU CAN LOOK AT ALL THREE BUT YOU CAN DRIVE ONLY ONE!
HERE IS A SOLUTION: BUY THIS VINTAGE 1961 PORSCHE!
THE VEHICLE HISTORY:
THIS BEAUTIFUL TWO OWNER 1961 356B PORSCHE CABRIOLET WAS BUILT ON 21 DECEMBER 1960 AND DELIVERED TO JOSEPH R. BORDAGES IN BEAUMONT, TEXAS IN MARCH 1961 VIA INTERCONTINENTAL MOTORS.
I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 1964 AND IT STILL SPORTS THE ORIGINAL 1964 TEXAS LICENSE PLATE.
IT HAS BEEN OFF ROAD EVER SINCE AND THAT IS WHY THE ACTUAL TRUE MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 35OOO MILES. THE CAR HAS MATCHING NUMBERS AND, OBVIOUSLY, HAS THE ORIGINAL FLOOR, BATTERY BOX ETC. WHICH ARE SOLID AND RUST FREE AS IS EVERYTHNG ELSE. THE CAR IS NOW TOTALLY REDONE AND LOOKS LIKE NEW. THE VEHICLE COMES WITH A SOFT TOP, BOOT AND FULL TONNEAU COVER AND AN ORIGINAL HARDTOP (STILL IN THE BODY SHOP IN UKIAH, CA). THE CAR IS SOLID LIKE A ROCK AND IT DRIVES LIKE A NEW CAR, EVERYTHING IS NICER AND TIGHT.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE:
BODY:
THE BODY WAS TOTALLY STRIPPED AND PAINTED BY FARMER BROTHERS IN UKIAH, CALIFORNIA WITH A THICK BASE COAT OF ORIGINAL COLOR SILVER PAINT AND WAS CLEARCOATED.
THE PANEL FIT IS EXCELLENT AND THE GAPS ARE PERFECT. THE BODY IS OF CONCOURSE QUALITY. ALL RUBBER HAS BEEN REPLACED.
THE SEATS WERE REDONE AND THE INTERIOR WAS REUPHOLSTERED WITH THE ORIGINAL GERMAN WEAVE CARPET.
THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS STRIPPED & PROPERLY PAINTED IN THE CORRECT SAVANNA BEIGE COLOR BY AUTOS INTERNATIONAL, BOTH WOODEN BOWS WERE REPLACED AS WELL. A NEW BLACK GERMAN CLOTH TOP WAS INSTALLED AND A NEW BOOT WAS MADE.
A FULL TONNEAU COVER IS ALSO INCLUDED.
JACK ARCT REFURBISHED THE AUTHENTIC NARDY STEERING WHEEL AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
BRAKES AND WHEELS:
ALL BRAKE COMPONENTS & DRUMS WERE TOTALLY DISASSEMBLED & BLASTED, PAINTED & REBUILT. A DUAL MASTER CYLINDER WAS ADDED, ALL BRAKE CYLINDERS WERE CLEANED AND BURNISHED AND NEW BRAKE HOSES WERE INSTALLED. THE BRAKE LININGS ARE OF COURSE LIKE NEW.
FOUR NEW POTENZAS HAVE BEEN MOUNTED ON 5.5 INCH CHROME RIMS. THE SPARE IS A 1960’S MICHELIN X TIRE MOUNTED ON A 4.5 ORIGINAL STEEL WHEEL.
INSTRUMENTS AND ELECTRICAL:
ALL INSTRUMENTS EXCEPT THE ORIGINAL SPEEDOMETER WERE REFURBISHED BY HOLLYWOOD SPEEDOMETER. JOE LEONI’S STARTER AND HEAD LIGHT RELAYS WERE INSTALLED AND THE CAR NOW SPORTS H4 HEAD LIGHTS. HORNS WERE CHECKED AND CLEANED.
THE GENERATOR WAS DISASSEMBLED, CLEANED AND CHECKED.
ENGINE:
THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND TOTALLY CLEANED. ALL ENGINE SHEET METAL WAS POWDER COATED AND MANY ITEMS WERE NICKEL PLATED.
THE HEADS WERE REMOVED AND, BECAUSE THE NEW GASOLINES REQUIRE IT, NEW VALVE GUIDES WERE INSTALLED. THE VALVES AND SEATS WERE ALSO TOUCHED UP A LITTLE.
THE RINGS WERE CHECKED BUT DID NOT NEED REPLACEMENT. IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO SPLIT THE ENGINE CASE.
DON MARKS (GEARHEAD, INC) REFURBISHED THE DISTRIBUTOR AND SET IT UP FOR TODAY’S FUEL. THE ZENITH CARBURETORS WERE REDONE BY BIEKER ENGINEERING. FLAPPER BOXES WERE INSPECTED AND ADJUSTED WHERE NECESSARY.
NEW SEALS AND GASKETS THROUGHOUT.
THE FUEL TANK WAS CLEANED AND SEALED.
ALL WORK WAS DONE BY A FACTORY TRAINED MECHANIC.
REQUIREMENTS OF SALE:
INSPECTION IS INVITED AND ENCOURAGED. THIRD PARTY EVALUATION IS AVAILABLE. PERSONAL REFERENCES ON REQUEST. A LOCAL RENOWNED RESTORER WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE AN EVALUATION.
THE CAR IS OFFERED WORLDWIDE AND CAN BE PAID FOR IN US DOLLARS OR EUROS AT THE EXCHANGE RATE OF $1.50 PER EURO. A $1000 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT TO PAYPAL IS REQUIRED AT CLOSE OF BIDDING AND THE REMAINING AMOUNT MUST BE WIRE TRANSFERRED TO MY ACCOUNT WITHIN TEN DAYS AFTER BIDDING BEFORE CAR IS RELEASED.
THE LOWEST ACCEPTABLE BID IS $85000. HOWEVER I BELIEVE THE CAR TO BE WORTH FAR MORE THAN THAT. IT IS DARN NIGH IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND VEHICLES LIKE THIS ANYMORE.
