Ok I’ll have to admit some years back much to my surprise I learned of the Porsche tractor. Today a 1 of 3 Porsche motor home built by Porsche sold at Mecum for $170,000. Now this would be the ultimate towing vehicle for your cherished 356 to the Werks Reunion.

Now that is a Porsche I've never heard about or seen online. Love to see the inside and what the powerplant was.

Wow. Has a VW motor now. Must be dirt slow with what I am guessing was originally a 356 motor? Still cool though. Hope it has like a 10 speed gearbox or something to get it going.

Or buying parts for it; You need a what for a what?

Pretty cool, drop in a 1883 (or bigger) with nickies and an electric a/c setup and you'd be in business. Would probably take $50-75k to get it looking top notch in addition to the engine and a/c

Cool camper but not a Porsche. Porsche had nothing to do with design, manufacture, or sale. Mikafa built it with a 356 motor and slapped Porsche badges on it. Somehow it got titled as a Porsche which seems bizarre. How does that make it a Porsche? Talk about a NARP.
