looks promising not!

what do you expect for 6K ?

Actually... that looks like a good price for that.

Lots of parts.. pretty complete.

Definitley worth 6K

'Course you'll have to add another 50K to get it restored but that another arguement

But in the end you'll have 356.

If i had the $ id buy it.

That looks like a pretty good project.

I know. I have always wanted a 356 Coupe or Speedster, but they are very pricey.

Someday....

ditto...i've been scoping them out a lot lately on thesamba.com. Its annoying to have to spend 10K+ just to get started.

Really?

Have you driven one? They may be alright, but IMHO you can keep them.

I drove a friend's track car 356 and I wouldn't trade in a million years. How he drove that car as fast as he did is beyond me.

Steering box?

I'd keep the 914 too. I told my girlfriend that when we get married, the car is coming too.

Makes me feel very good about the 911 I'm selling!

A friend is restoring four 356s concurrently -- '65 Carrera 2, '65 SC, a '59? Convertible D and an A coupe. I think he's very much past the hobby stage. He also has a running B coupe and a twin grille roadster. Oh, and a parts car or two.

I understand the allure of these cars. I love his B coupe (much more than the previous Speedster). Its a delightful little all weather car. Solid, even at 50+ years.

After my first car, a 914, I picked up 2 Conv D's, a couple of A coupes and a 65 SC. Regretfully they are all gone. The 914's are far more practicle.

This one tempted me. Sorry but I deleted the pics I had. If you are looking for a 356 project in the PNW (Spokane, WA)..................no connection. He's asking 8500.

i have a soft spot for the 356 notches... not many, and not a favorite....

There was a maroon 63 cab that looked like shit at the Historics with a $52K price tag.

After having two 356's ( a '57 B Super 90 with Rudge knockoffs and '65 SC coupe) both of which I purchased and sold to help pay for my college expenses, I am glad to see that they are bringing great prices.

Although they handled and braked adequately, my '64 1098cc MG midget would wax both cars on Mullholland drive. Granted, I was more comfortable in the Porsches and even won a Santa Barbara Austin Healy Meet Rally in the SC, But I couldn't nor wouldn't spend the money now - for me, there was no passion for the car.

I just sold my 1960 356B with a 1600 Super engine. It was fun to drive and I miss it some, but any 45 year old car will constantly need work and that car was wearing me out. Like a lot of other classic cars, they are a good investment right now as prices keep climbing.

Somebody will pay $6k for this car and be happy with it. It has a lot of work to go, but the end result should be worth the effort and money.
