Thanks to Ray Mital....of course my wife isn't thanking you....but it does keep me outta the bars. Anyways....it's relatively complete per the pics....
It's a 59 A and it's with drum brakes, 6 volt and all the old school schizzle....who else on the list has a 356? The last one (Frankenstealth).....real one that is...was a "C" and it was pretty close to a 911 and 914 due to be 12 volt and 4 wheel discs.....when I gets it I'll decide whether it's a CW, driver or Outlaw candidate. |

What happened to the 930? What are you a "used car dealer" or something? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif)

I have one. 64 C
I might have one (stored in my barn right now) 60B I would say, keep it CW, its worth alot more...get the COA, paint and interior should match. Im all for outlaw, but I think B/C are better candidates..(my C will be outlaw, if I get the B it will go CW, due to unique features, colors, motor etc.) If CW then that car is worth 40-60k, if its all done, floors, rockers...etc and documented...at least the body/metal work. Whats the original color combo? exterior/interior?? You know where to look, the registry has all the codes in the login section. I can help you with the motor matching if needed, there are loads of cases around. Rich |

Yeah, should be fun......my asshole brother wants it, since he was born in '59....but he hasn't thrown any money my way.
Just got a PM from a certain newer poster that said he was in negotiation for it as well.....he can chime in if he wants to.... |

I have always loved the 356 models (the original porsche) and have owned one since 1976. I currently own a 60 silver cabriolet, a 1960 blue roadster, a 61 red roadster, and am restoring a 65 sc coupe! They drive great are simple to restore and get great talk going from non porsche types anywhere one stops!

Put a tail on it and some spinners... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
I want it. It would be silver with a red interior. Mobil pegasus' on the sides and screens over the headlights. Done. I see a fellow musician owned it once (Sunn amplifier sticker on the front bumper). |

All my 356 are now gone. I had almost all at the same time, a 57 coupe, a 59 coupe, two 59 conv D's, and a 65 with a super 90 motor. Still have some copies of the workshop manual.

The title is a crappy copy....
ID#P6995 and another number of 101000....maybe it's a left over 58 that got titled as a 59? I also remember hearing that they used the engine number as a VIN and when they changed engines...if they did...the owners came into a shock when trying to sell them. I guess Chebbies matched the engine to the VIN...while them "furrin" cars didn't.... |

BTDT and it takes a long long time to sort out if the paper is not right. Check the tags on the door post, drivers side, front of door.. Also look at all the lids, they should match the numbers on the car (if your lucky) Typically its the last three numbers are stamped into the deck lid, and hood... Rich |

There is further seperation in the A's form T-1 and T-2 you can thell the difference by where the door jambs are located.
I had an early T-2 that was 101654. so your title is at most a 57 |
