- ▶ 46:57 Ben Gilbert If you had, David, then our entire text thread would just be us texting three 50 sixes to Doug.
Porsche (with Doug DeMuro) · Acquired
- ▶ 30:59 David Rosenthal On a small car, and we try and put something together here, and this becomes the legendary Porsche three 56.
- ▶ 31:19 David Rosenthal Three 50 sixes regularly sell for about 300,000 dollars at auction, and special ones go for well, well, well above a million.
- ▶ 31:30 David Rosenthal The, the gulf between a beetle and a three 56.
- ▶ 31:46 Doug DeMuro Um, and the three 56 is special because it really kind of was one of the, the real touchstone moments of the sports car coming out of the war, how we define the sports car today.
- ▶ 32:04 Doug DeMuro Ultimately, the three 56, it was not affordable, but they made a decent number of them.
- ▶ 33:22 Doug DeMuro It may be worth pointing out also in the context of the sports car, like the three 56 coming out of world war two was kind of the beginning of the sports car really taking off.
- ▶ 33:54 Doug DeMuro And in Germany, it was the three 56.
- ▶ 34:00 David Rosenthal They're starting to produce the three 56 in Gamun.
- ▶ 47:08 Doug DeMuro And so like, it was a car that in theory you could go and buy, but while the three 56 was like the sports car that you could gentlemen race, the five 50 spider was for people who like
- ▶ 48:09 David Rosenthal I got so excited about James Dean, but Doug, to your .350 sixes in 1951 and 1952 win their class at Le Mans.
- ▶ 48:52 David Rosenthal These weren't three 50 sixes.
- ▶ 49:10 Doug DeMuro And there were racing versions of the three 56, but the goal was mostly road cars.
- ▶ 49:32 Doug DeMuro Uh, whereas Porsche was selling three, I mean, three 50 sixes were like being sold, like as a, in a pretty good volume.
- ▶ 49:38 David Rosenthal There's this great, great, great ferry Porsche quote about this, uh, which he would say later about the nine 11, but I, I think this also applies in early form to the three 56.
- ▶ 54:50 David Rosenthal As we get to the 19 sixties, like the three 56 is great.
- ▶ 55:12 Doug DeMuro And, and what was starting to happen was the three 56 was one of the leaders of the charge of the sports car in that era.
- ▶ 55:37 David Rosenthal So, okay, in 1962, Ferry Porsche makes the decision, like, three 56 is amazing, you know, rebirth of the company.
- ▶ 59:43 Doug DeMuro The three 56 was purportedly named because it was the 356 like engineering project they did.
- ▶ 59:48 Doug DeMuro But did they really do 500 engineering projects between three six and nine oh one?
- ▶ 1:02:31 David Rosenthal The three 56 in 1965, and so 66 is the first year that's fully nine 11 for Porsche production.
- ▶ 1:02:49 David Rosenthal Like a thousand total, so they're now 13 x in 10 years, and that number of almost 13,009 11 they sell was 15% more than their best year with only the three 50 sixes, like. thousand
- ▶ 1:03:30 Doug DeMuro Early on that it had something special in this great combination of, you know, reliability, comfort, practicality, just like the three 56 had been, but just better.
- ▶ 1:04:01 Doug DeMuro So the three 56 had a boxer four.
- ▶ 1:05:05 David Rosenthal Now, the three 56, the old three 56,
- ▶ 1:05:10 David Rosenthal It had four cylinders, uh, and so now the nine 11 have six cylinders, and like you said, like, it's not a world-class, powerful, fast car, but it's, it elevates the three 56 into a much more, like, you can really achieve a lot more with…
- ▶ 1:05:35 David Rosenthal They priced the nine 11 about 50% higher than they had the three 56.
- ▶ 1:05:54 David Rosenthal They also introduced the nine 12 and the nine 12 is a nine 11 with the old three 56 four cylinder engine in it.
- ▶ 1:06:31 David Rosenthal The old three 56, we're going to bifurcate it.
- ▶ 1:10:43 Doug DeMuro Porsche's previous to this had all been rear engines, the nine 11, the three 56.
- ▶ 1:27:46 Doug DeMuro But it's important to keep in mind that like the three 56 went away and that was the Porsche.
- ▶ 1:27:54 Doug DeMuro The Porsche was the three 56.
- ▶ 1:29:03 Doug DeMuro And so it made sense that Porsche would maybe want to head in that direction also and start thinking about moving past the nine 11 just as they had moved past the three 56, you know, 20 years before.
- ▶ 1:50:01 Doug DeMuro They killed the three 56.
- ▶ 1:52:01 David Rosenthal So, by the 95, 96 production year, the nine 11 is the only Porsche model left on the market, which hasn't been the case since the three 56.
