The mysterious Porsche 359

I was going though craigslist checking what was for sale in my local area as I often do when things are slow at work. I came across this gem that I just had to share with everyone

Porsche 359 Speedster replica

Is that guards red or indischrot red?

Regards
Dave

I can't imagine the obnoxiously inaccurate conversations that car must initiate...

Just be nice - you get the best of both words here. It's like Einstein's body and Arnold's brain or was it the other way 'round...

makes perfect sense...

959 - roof (300) - engine (300) = 359.

In the Pantheon of Porsche hack jobs, this one is actually not that horrific.
