Ok Porschephiles. I've been searching for a new project car for a while. I've owned a 914 and a 911SC. I just helped a friend of mine purchase an immaculate 88 Carrera Targa. Now my need for fun motoring is unstoppable. However, I don't really want a mid-80's Carrera with all of the bells and whistles...
So today I drove a 356 for the first time. What a great car. A major concern is head room (I'm 6'5").
What a surprise, great room.
Okay, car is a '65 356 C. Which I believe is important for dispalcement and disc brakes. Body is rough but not terminal. Interior is rough but seller has all new carpet and coverings to install. New gas tank, sending unit, and new engine rebuild. Longitudinal are solid as is most of the pan. Battery box has a small spot but still solid. Jack points need replaced.
So the skinny is $9500 for the lot. I know just about everything to look for on a 911 from '68-'89, but not 356's.
What else do I need to look for and what am I not paying attention to. Thanks, sorry for the obnoxiously long post!
PS- Color is Togo Brown. Ugly but growing on me, would probably keep original.
