Hershey Video Posted

We make the pilgramage to Hershey, Pennsylvania every year for the Central PA Region of the PCA's killer swap meet and car show. It's the official sign that Spring has finally hit the Northeast and we're eager to see all the cool stuff that people drag there. Along with some pretty stout sunburns, we also got a short video of some of the action.

SUN-SCH-0800 Schuco Porsche 356A Speedster 1:18 Scale Model

Scale Model Fun

Not all of our Porsches are full size! We've just gotten in a new batch of cool large and small scale models—all are collector quality cool—these are not toys, no matter what your significant other might tell you.

Sunvisor Mounts

The sunvisor mounts for the 911 and 912 were used for a long time by the Porsche Factory. There were several supersessions along the way, but you can pretty much interchange any of them between 1969 and 1998 cars. We've got some heavy duty replacements that won't crack like the originals often do.

644-631-106-31-LED Round 7-inch H4 LED Headlights.

Modern LED Headlights with a Vintage Twist

Many late model cars have an option for LED headlights that offer great light with minimal current draw—far less than Xenon or Halogen alternatives. We found some great 7-inch round H4-style lights that can work anywhere between 5 and 14 volts, putting out nice and clear white light whether you're running 6- or 12-Volt systems.

Stoddard Swap Meet Coming Up Quick!

Stoddard's annual All Porsche Car Show and Swap Meet is just around the corner—it's less than two months away! The date is June 3-4. If you'd like to sell items at either our Literature and Toy meet on Friday or the Parts Swap on Saturday, you'll need to register for a spot. You can click on the image to the right or click below to download that Vendor form.

SIC-541-011-06 Windshield for 911, green tinted with center pad for mirror mount

Later 911 Windshields

Porsche changed how the rear view mirror mounted to the windshield in 1978, going to a small round pad mount that was a lot cleaner looking than the earlier large rectangular mounted mirror. We have the the later style windscreen in stock and at a very affordable price. If your windshield is pitted or scratched, a new replacement will help you see clearly this season.

Clean Looking 356C For Sale.

There is a very clean looking 1964 356C for sale on the 356 Registry's site. The Slate Grey example retains its original pans, longitudinals, battery box, and much of its interior and we think it's very reasonably priced at $79,900.
