I was living in a So Cal desert town Brawley of 20,000 by the Mexican border.
Was talking to a guy once and told him I had a 53 Porsche project car up in LA.
He told me about retired bee keeper that had a old 356 in his steel building.
Tracked the guy down one day, he open the door and there was a 53 same year as mine, all dusty, no dents or rust just sitting there with 4 flat tires. Not for sale of corse, called him a couple years later and he said he sold it to his doctor.
You always dream of a barn find, I'll just keep dreaming.
