I don't know a lot about these as they are still out of my price range but I can see the beauty and the allure of the 911's. I fell in love with these in the mid 80's with the Turbo (whale tail) models. They always looked like a slot car on the street! I always look forward to the part where Jay says..."I think it time to take it for a ride"

GREAT!!!!!!. I owned a bright red 63 Carrera 2 GS when I lived in the USA (Florida) in the middle 70s. It was, indeed, the best 356 EVER ... and I had previously owned a bunch of 356s inlcuding a '59 Carrera 1600 Speedster and a 904 GTS which had a slightly hotter version of the same engine (160 vs. 130 hp). The Carrara 2 was a JOY ... a real JOY to drive and to own. Had a bunch of 911s too and the only one that came close to this much fun was my 73 Carrera 2.7 Lightweight. I'd still give the edge to the Carrera 2 though. Just looking at the photos I still have of it makes me smile.

I think this is an amazing story. It's that feeling when you do something, put it aside forget about it and then later find it and it's such a nice feeling. I'm 25 and you can imagine the distance between made/lost found is quite small but for him to find it after all this time in one piece. Must feel amazing.

I thought Jay didn't sound his usual chirpy best. These early Porche are built like tanks, impeccable build quality and virtually bullet proof mechanicals. It would have looked nicer in Porche silver but being such a rare original car, Black will have to do. Jay may be incredibly wealthy, but he is gracious enough to share his passion for cars with us all, and giving previous owners the joy of rekindling fond memories of cars once in their ownership. Above all, he is not afraid to drive insanely expensive an exotic machinery on the freeway.

Peter Lewis Hey Peter, are these cars relatively reliable for performance vehicles? I want to buy something reliable. Hard to find reliability in a luxury or performance car. I want something fancy, but only because I am in the financial business and want to at least look successful. Other wise I would be happy with my Honda. Jay does sound a little sick. I'm glad he didn't cancel the appearance.

@bennyhannover9361 8 жыл бұрын
+retro666future For this 356 you can surely say, only the idea is left from the volkswagen. Carrera Engine is called the " Fuhrmann Motor" because the first engine was contructed from Professor Ernst Fuhrmann in 1955 for the Carrera 1500 with 100 DIN net HP and 190 km/h an 12 sec to 100 km/h a very special performance for 1500 cc Engine. The valve steering is managed via " Königswellen" ( does the word kingcam exist, i dont know) 4 cylinders have 4 cams so 2 valves are driven via 1 cam. 2 cams for inlet and 2 for outlet. This you wont find in any factory beetle flat four. The racing versions of these engine could rev beyond 6500/6800 also not volkswagen - like. The 356 B Series produced from September '59 to March '63 saw only 350 Carreras produced , 40 were 1600 GS Carrera (115 net HP) produced in 1960/61 and 310 were 2000 GS Carrera 2 (2000 cc/ 130net HP) between September '61 and March '63. The price in Germany was DEM 23.700,00 in 1962! The normal 1600 (75 net HP) was for Sale at DEM 14.300,00. So thats about USD 5.500,00 to 3000 at that time.

@userunavailable3095 8 жыл бұрын
That about gave me heart failure. I've been watching too many videos today of people finding their dad's first car. We had one of these in the seventies, and it was sold in 1975 to a restorer, mostly because my parents were divorcing and I had outgrown the itty bitty back seats. Unfortunately, the details probably don't match up. Ours was supposedly a 1960, although my stepfather sometimes got the years of his cars wrong. The restorer was in Harrisburg, Pa. The car had been a rally car, and was rather beat up. It was not on its first engine. It might not have even been on its third or fourth, as I recall. It had twin tanks for rally racing, and my stepfather was forever forgetting to fill the second tank, until he was out of gas in the first and he'd switch and it was empty. That led to siphoning gas by the side of the road from a stranger's tank, and a styrofoam cup dissolving into the gas tank, which plagued it for the rest of the time we had it. Great memories though. I learned to shift gears in that car, sitting on a blanket between the seats in those pre seat belt, pre car seat days.
