Accessible only by ATV you say? I know it's not a 914, but thought you guys might like to see one more saved, in this case an early Pre-A.

So, where do you draw the line? We assume the VIN is intact. Suppose the cowl, windshield frame and roof are retained...I know, working the roof back to shape will take a master metal massager and beau coup hours. And let's say correct suspension and engine components are located and installed. Isn't that enough DNA to call it a Porsche 356?
We've seen some intense rustorations on this site that entailed piecing together from many donors to make a whole car, including repro sheet metal panels. Are those just 'knock offs"? I'm glad this 'car' has been saved from rusting into the earth and I'm pretty sure if I saw it at a show with a notebook of restoration pics that I'd be amazed and impressed. |
