I've worked on a few 356's with my back ground in ACVW's. What a pleasure to work on and drive.

This particular one is probably the nicest resto mod I've ever seen. Motor sport quality but with all the charm.

Intoxicating.

240 hp in a car that weights 1800 lbs, that is a beast

[budheider]

True work of art. I love this car. 230 HP. great

THANK YOU! This brings up so many happy Porsche memories going back to my father. Its great you understand a concours 356 was never meant to be a "trailer Queen". The smiling 356 can magically escape any trailer overnight. Air cooled all have name's. I am driving the boat you see in the pic but I prefer an organic driving experience. Cheers from southern Co.

I love this. I had a 1961 356B coupe. It’s claim to fame was it was driven by Formula One race car driver Jackie Stewart, out on a date with the previous owner. This brings back such fond memories. Now at 75, and not able to afford a classic Porsche like this, I bought a 2000 Boxster S, 6 speed. Not quite the same nostalgic feel, but a lot of Porsche for a lot less money. It has a flat 6 with 258hp stock.

I’m glad you mentioned VW beetle. I watched Magnus Walker’s visit to a gentleman in Florida, who owns a 356. The footage was mostly driving and from inside the car with all the engine noise. It reminded me so much of my old beetle.

Very professionally made video, I loved watching it. No comparison to my 59 T5. lovely that you could trace the history, sadly I contacted previous owners of mine but they never replied. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Tim

Beautiful Car, THANKYOU for sharing I had to Chuckle a bit over your comment of being very much like a Beetle untill you started the engine up this one doesn’t sound like too many Beetles with her strong deep exhaust tone !the entire car is just Stunning to look at and hear

Probably the nicest 356 I've ever 'taken a test drive in'. The paint, the attention to detail and choice of engines makes for a fun, driveable machine. I knew a girl who had one 'back in tha day' that was the same color andI've always been partial to that shade of yellow.

Desire for me now has changed considerably as I’ve gotten older, I love and desire these old Porsche 356s for their visceral simplicity and timeless beautiful lines . The closest I’ve gotten is driving my old worked 70 beetle 140 hp . I love these cars …

[glenndarragh]

Stunning 356 👍
I'm sure Dr Porsche would approve !

[bos]

Great automobile and great story. What a a machine and provenance

[generaphaelian]

Great story and car. Beautifully shot and edited. Bravo Jerry & John! 👏

[Skedawg]

I love the photo of the car on Hoosier Pass. I have traveled over that pass many, many times. It sure would be fun to do so in a 356.

[cathrynm]

Oh wow, I like the confidence this guy has, updating this car.

[dtengineering]

Lovey work and that engine is to die for!
