This 1961 Porsche 356 was captured during a Sportscar Vintage Racing Association event held on what looks like a dark and wet day. Regardless of the weather an old Porsche on back roads looks like fun to us. (Photo Credit: Nathan Bittinger) More »

Spotted at the Porsche Museum, this 1948 356 is the first car to ever wear the Porsche name. Ferry Porsche, Ferdinand's son, built the aluminum bodied car because he couldn't find a suitable new car to purchase. (Photo Credit: xmatt) More »

The Porsche 911 Speedster's no slouch (maybe a hunchback), but it was clearly one-upped by the presence of this equally blue and unequally gorgeous Porsche 356. More »

Aside from the severe scouring this Porsche 356 took in warm-ups during last year's Monterey race, the one thing that jumps out from this shot: How about those leather hood straps? Photo: Maschinenraum via Flickr More »

The more data drivers get about their automobiles, the less they seem to know about them. Thus, the brilliant simplicity of this 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster. More photos at Shiny Side. More »

This Porsche 356 was stopped for traffic Monday when a Mazda full of teenage-looking creatures slammed into it at 70 mph. The Porsche's driver maneuvered to minimize the impact, but "you just can't adjust for stupid." [356Talk via TCL] More »

Rallying, Le Mans, a Le Mans start, skinny-tired spins, a Rothmans 959, mud, French police, Daytona, hairy-chested flat sixes, the Nürburgring, and more, all crammed into ninety-five seconds. If you don't want a P-car after this, your brain is broken. More »

Autocar's printing filthy rumors saying VW's planning to foist an R4-platformed car onto Stuttgart as a Porsche 356. Sure, everybody likes the idea of a 356, but not when it's a bastardized, pudgy, nostalgia-riding, baby-boomer-targeted beige-mobile. More »

What do you get when you put a chopped 1955 Porsche 356 body on a 914 pan with a 911 engine, then add vast amounts of fabrication skill? You get an Outlaw 356-influenced machine that goes fast and commands a Buy It Now price of $175,000. Some of you may recognize this car's seller, Fantasy Junction, as the same folks who ran the ill-fated Mazdasaurus Wrecks and the car with the quickest lap time at the Thunderhill 24 Hours of LeMons. Let's see- lot full of drool-inducing machinery, crew full of racing fanatics... I need to get over to Emeryville and check this place out! Thanks to Carless for the tip! [eBay Motors] More »

Back when we had the Favorite Porsche Down On The Street Poll, the winner was the '67 Porsche 912. While it's possible that the vote-splitting among the four Malaise Era 911s may have handed the win to the 912 by default, the fact remains that the oldest Porsche won. Is that because 1967 was long before the Porsche name got weighed down with all the Lifestyle Symbolism it bears today? Well, that '67 is a Porsche-come-lately next to today's DOTS find! Here's a street-driven '63 356 that still has the original paint and is no stranger to the autocross course to boot. More »

The Repo Man Edition PCH was fun, so we're returning to the movie-themed Choose Your Eternity concept once again. Today we're having a 3-way vote, but that's OK because we've seen one of the cars before and the idea of doing a PCH with the three machines driven by the homicidal go-go dancers from Russ Meyer drive-in classic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! seems ideal for this quasi-holiday afternoon. More »

What can you do to make a Porsche 356 more interesting? Well, there's Junkman's approach, of course. But what about the rat-rod treatment? Steadfast commenter Vintage Racer sends us these shots... More »

The other day, Junkman mentioned his Chevy 400-powered '57 Porsche 356. Well, one thing led to another, and we invited him to send in some photos for us to share. See, when most guys claim online to have some outrageous engine/car combo ("Dude, I got a '72 Kadett with Detroit Diesel Series 60!") you take the claim with numerous grains of salt. However, when one of our commenters makes such a claim... well, we believe it, because our commenters are just that good More »

We're not purists when it comes to Porsches. We don't mind, by and large, if people hack 'em up. But the fate of this poor little 356 makes us sad indeed. The wheels are all wrong for the car, and that scoop treatment's rather in poor taste. What's more, if one's going to maul a car like this, shouldn't it have a modern engine? Nopers. Rebuilt stock mill. What then, is this point? It makes no sense at all. [Thanks to Nick for the tip.] More »

Porsche 356 fans for whom the sum of the parts are as important as the cars themselves need only look toward Charlie White's collection of factory ads and brochures for the mother lode of nostalgia. With ads for Porsche suppliers like Getrag transmissions, Blaupunkt radios and Solex carbs among them, White's online collection is enough to send a true Porscheologist into a fit of historics. Long a Porsche enthusiast, White's collection now includes workshop manuals, owners manuals, color charts, service bulletins, parts books, toolkits, factory accessories and lots of other stuff.
