So , on my way there, I am nervous, kind of like I am on my way to a first date or something. I get there and it is rough, but worse cars have come back from the dead. I only saw the tub, and front suspension, but he says he believes he has the whole car , mostly in boxes in his basement. He removed the front fenders as well, and has them in his basement. It is a 1955 356 for sure, Vin # 80500. It looks like a speedster, but I am not an expert in this area at all. It supposedly spent a lot of its life as a race car, has a roll bar welded in. Lots of dents, and dings and of course, rust. Was originally red, but was painted lime green Guy says he has scraped off 1/4"-1/2" of bondo .
I am going to get nominated for the worst barn thread ever, because I took about 10 photos, and ran home, all excited to post them here , and they are gone. I must have erased them somehow, either that, or the Porsche gods don't want this one discovered. He is a nice guy, and said I can stop back anytime , so I will get up there again this weekend. He does not have the original motor anymore, He said what he has now is a 912 motor. I told him about this place, and hopefully he will chime in at some point. Pretty cool to see a piece of history like this. It was supposedly sitting, rotting, outside of a small repair shop right here in the Pittsburgh area .
Sorry about the photo's. My heart sunk when I went to transfer them and they were gone.
