2015 Stoddard Swap Meet

We have finalized our dates for the 28th Annual Stoddard All Porsche Car Show and Swap Meet. The Literature and Toy Meet will be Friday June 5th from 6-9pm. The Swap Meet and Car Show will be held on June 6th from 8am to 3pm.
We are starting to register vendors for both the Friday and Saturday festivities. You can call our office at (800) 342-1414 X238 to reserve your booth for the event.

Early 911 Mahle Pistons and Cylinders in Stock

We are now stocking Mahle Motorsports pistons for the 2.0L and 2.2L "S" engines with 9.8:1 compression ratios. These are exact replacements for the high performance Factory parts, from the original OE manufacturer! Restore your S to original specs or make your T or E sing with more power and torque.

SIC-103-906-01-SET Mahle Piston and Cylinder Set of Six, For 2.0 S

SIC-552-881-20 Button Plug for Early 911 / 912

Early 911 Dash Button Plug

For early 911s and 912s that were not equipped with all of the standard electrical accessories, the Factory made a small hole plug to blank off the pre-stamped hole in the dash panel. These hole plugs have long been unavailable—but we had them recreated to finish off your restoration perfectly!

Warehouse Artifact: 959 Workshop Manual

The Porsche Factory Workshop Manuals are a staple of every restoration shop and literature enthusiast's collection. We've got a new batch of manuals posted on our online store. These are direct from the Factory and are equally at home in the garage or collector's library.

WKD-482-320 Porsche Factory Workshop Manual for 959

901-107-005-40 Oil Tank for 914-6

914-6 Oil Tank

This new oil tank from Porsche Classic is as you'd expect from the Factory, a perfect fit for your 914-6 or 914 conversion. It is a different shape than the 911 version so that it can fit in the narrow flanks of a 914.

Factory 911 Jack

It might make more sense to keep your original early 911 jack in the trunk for use at car shows than actually changing a tire. Porsche has new original style jacks that are great for emergency use—without worrying about 40 or even 50 year old equipment failing. Use this one instead of your original for a bit of extra peace of mind.

911-721-011-04 Emergency Use Vehicle Jack

SIC-181-113-50 Headlight Conduit Hose Kit

Headlight Wiring Conduit Hose for Early 911 and 912.

We'll admit it, we're a little crazy about restoring Porsches. Did you know that the Factory used a small section of oil hose to feed the wiring through the front fenders on early 911s and 912s? These conduit hoses were used up through 1968 and are a perfectly authentic replacement for the original.

Motul Oils for Your Porsche

Motul has been making high performance lubricants for over 150 years that are revered by the hardcore enthusiasts. Stoddard is happy to announce that we are their newest dealer. We're stocking all of the oils that you need for your classic or modern Porsche here in our Ohio warehouse.

Why Do We Love The 911?

We were poking around the website and Facebook page for Classic Porsche, a UK Publication and found this amusing video from a UK enthusiast. Enjoy!

Chassis ID Tags

There are plenty of legitimate reasons for replacing a chassis identification tag during the course of a restoration. The originals corroded easily and are damaged even easier when removed for paint. Don't forget to keep your original tag to prove your car's provenance—as values go up, there are plenty of fakes to be wary of!
