Does this look familiar to anyone?
I had my tank lined at a local shop. When I was leaving, the owner said he had another Porsche tank that was lined by him, but was then left, years ago, in his shop. A little help please? Is this really a Porsche tank? Yea or nay, which specific car? Thanks and again, sorry for OT. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Take it.
It's an early A series 356 tank. |

Date stamp is 4/59. I bought it. Don't know what it's worth, but I bought it.
Thanks for the advice! |

Inquiring minds want to know how much you bought it for and what's it worth?

I would call the guys at Stoddard and get their opinion. They may know someone in need of that tank. Could bring some big bucks.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Clean it up nicely and shoot some good pictures. You shouldn't have any trouble selling that for some good money ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I paid $50 for it. Looks like $350 - $450 is the going rate, so that's a decent investment.

Put it on the bay a couple of days ago with a Buy It Now of $499 with best offer turned on.
Sold for $400 for $50 shipping. Not too shabby. |
