    That 356 appears to have a Mopar outside rearview mirror. Can anyone identify the origin?


    I believe that 356 to be the purest expression of "anti-concourse" old car use. I love it. It is sad that, in my care, the poor thing would disolve parked on the street in my neighborhood before a protective layer of moss could grow.


    Still, I can dream.

    356s only look good as ratrods. Flat paint or rust somehow bring out the best in it's bodyshape.

    That's gotta be the first 914 I've seen that doesn't look ugly as hell.

    that 356 needs an EJ20ET swap and an STi 6 speed to be perfect.

    I'm guessing that these all belong to the same guy... maybe moved them out to the street to clean his garage or driveway? Needs a 912 to complete the set...

    How does anyone even allow a 356 to get like this? I wonder if the driver even knows what it is.

    @Jagvar: My thoughts exactly. It seems to be a catch 22. That 356 can't possibly be reliable enough in that condition to daily commute and pull 100's of miles per week. So that means the owner MUST know what he's got and how to work with it. That begs the question of why he would then let it get in that shape. A conundrum for sure!

    @Sloop_John_B: I think it's kind of the hipster aesthetic- I want something cool but I don't want to look like I care about it; therefore I'm not materialistic and, of course, hipper than thou.


    I admit it, I like well-maintained cars but I also like the ones with the kinda grungy hipster appeal, like all the stuff at billet-proof- Old cars that are allowed to revel in being old.

    @SlowMo: I think it's moreso that the guy purposely wants to avoid getting Porsche Club of America flyers in the mail, and by maintaining their vaulted love-child in such a decrepit state he pulls this off successfully.


    As long as he's not a hipster douchebag, and this isn't his equivalent of a fixie.

    @VonPinto: Definitely. It deserves nothing less than a thrashing through the Carrera Panamericana, beating out the body panels of XK120s on dusty Mexican backroads. Russ Meyer was right. 356s are outlaw cars.
