The ad says:
"...this is actually a better car than many running or rolling projects. In fact this car could be one of the best 356s in existence..." _________________ Jack Staggs

I just shudder when I think about how much work that would be. _________________ Matt

out of the 85 ads in the classifieds,
41 % (35) were WTB
the remaining cars are either carcases, renewed/overpriced ads, pending & old/not updated ads.
just whining ... _________________ Tim Ding |

I'm wondering if it is not already there. Seems like several abandoned projects have popped up locally, all are asking what I think is crazy money for a project B, but maybe the market is higher than I thought?? _________________ Go Reds! Smash state!

Might be there but the photos are somewhere else I do believe.
Here's my car peeking in seeing if it's a place it might want to hang out for a while.

They did my Pre A as well.
My "whine" is I wish they were closer.
Great work! Well worth the trip from So Cal to have them handle it. |

One of their main guys who used to do the VW and 356 work left and has his own shop now in Solana Beach so I heard.
Nice car BTW! _________________ Go Reds! Smash state!

What happened to that car. It looks like it was dropped on a log. |
Hey come on Brian, that ad clearly states "needs to be restored". That pretty much says it all.
All you need to do is, after paying the $34,750 asking price, drop well over $100K into that car and you will have a fine A cab that will have a market value of maybe $90K. But you will have way over $135K into it so you'll be fine.
I wonder what body pieces of that car other than the dash are actually usable. Hard to imagine a reputable 356 restoration shop taking on that project. _________________ Barry Brisco
