Cool find, Z. Here's one for inspiration - You could even do do replica decals to show the world your Guatemala-ness! Bonus points if you can name the movie that phrase came from.

Yeah I agree....are you on the 356 talk list? They keep a pretty tight leash on the eccentrics. That one guy that has the Convertible "D"? MiamiAir.....that guy makes Miles seem normal.....



(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I thought Miles was normal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Very nice find (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)



I like this color combo; (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

VIN is 103992, original engine and trans. The radio is definitely an old VW relic....I stared at one like it in my 56 and my momz 63 for many years.

The engine spins and I have spark at the coil but it's not translating to the plugs....new cap and rotor....but it's a two man job on some of this stuff and I'm waiting on some help to come over this morning.

As to the Registry, yeah I'm a paying member.....they barely put up with me since I have a replica...that has gasp....fuel injection and a hair dryer (turbo). They are a funny list. I think the youngest person there is like 35.....


I'm 33 joined around 24-25. Convertible D is the predecessor to the Roadster. IIRC 58-59 was Conv. D and 60-61 was the Roadster. Speedster was a slightly different creature with a lower windshield, no REAL windows only side curtains. All three had the same body lines which differ from the Convertibles and coupes. MUCH better lines in my opinion.

Thanks for remembering the title - I remembered the line but not the movie.

Back to the color - Like someone else mentioned - silver is really common for the 356 and replicas. How about finding a really obscure '58 color? What was the original color? What's the color under the hood - looks like baby-poop yellow????

they look like panasports...minilights.
But its got five bolt disks on it...from a C

The drum brakes really are a nice setup.
If you go disks, look at using beetle setup, the new stuff.
It will bolt up on the rear, but the front is a bit different.
At some point the 356 and the beetle have a different spacing in between the tubes on the front beam.
I think its late b/c but Im not sure.
Measure center to center on the front beam of both a beetle and your car. If they are the same, you should be able to use the dropped spindles from anyone and they should fit.
You dont need dropped spindles, cause it will adjust, but the offset of the steering linkage makes it worth doing, plus all the bearings come with those kits...the disks and calipers are ghia or type 3...so simple to get.

Looks like a fun project. Nice score!

Will you keep this one or sell it?

I'd keep this one.

Here's a pic of a different color choice. TurquoiseGreen. One year only(2000) BMW Z3 color choice. Looks period correct on my 356. Their are tons of great colors that will stand apart from the silver crowd. It is your car though so...

Pretty colors both....but I'm so far from paint right now that I'm considering everything.....yellow and red are out though....

As to what I'm gonna do with it? Well originally my brother wanted it.....but it looks like he's gonna flake. I've actaully had some offers for it as-is, running as-is and finished......don't know yet.....

Hijack: The best part of the story of that car was the incredible luck I had in buying it. Got it on Ebay with a winning bid of $10,101. It was consigned to a dealer by the owner. It was in upstate NY and could have been very rusty. Guy assured me on the phone that it was solid. Arrived on the truck and to my amazement, no rust apparent anywhere! Cost $1800 to ship to Oregon. Sold it for $12,500 after deciding I didn't have the energy to do the resto. Should have.
It is now somewhere in So. CA.
