Looks to be a nicely done car.

No affiliation, just thought I would share.

Wow! I didn't realize this thread would generate this kind of discussion.


I personally know of a 356 Cabriolet that came from the factory with the Carrera twin cam motor that was so rusted that it only had about 5 to 6 inches of body left below the door tops. Nothing left of the pan, and even the bottom of the dash was rusting away. But the all the VIN tags and ID numbers were present, as was the engine and transmission cases with all the matching numbers. It was "restored' using a donor car for the missing parts. The 356 Cabriolet Carrera is so rare, that it was accepted to do that to keep it around. It was sold as a real 356 Cabriolet Carrera, and for big money.

I personally helped restore a 55 Chevy Bel-Air convertible that was nothing but a frame and convertible body when we started. All of the rest of the parts came from a donor 55 Chevy sedan.

Does it make either of those a mongrel, or less real? That is for the buyer to decide.
