Hey all -
I have the car Jay is looking for (VIN 105630). I've already sent him a PM but I can briefly tell the history of the car (what I know, anyway).
My dad worked for McDonnell Douglas for years, and after the merger (McDonnell with Douglas), they moved to Huntington Beach. Living in El Segundo, my dad figured he should get a more economical car for the commute. The 356 was sitting outside of his workplace one day with a "for sale" sign on it. The rest is history. This was in 1969.
I took possession of the car about 2 weeks ago. I was just googling "Porsche VIN 105630" for giggles, and look what I find.
Just yesterday I was looking over some old registration slips that have Jay's dad's name on them. This is too much.

PS - it isn't for sale.
PPS - the original motor is long gone. In its place was installed a '60 1600 Super. This happened around 1971. The original 1600 threw a rod with my brother at the wheel while the folks were on vacation. I don't remember but I'm sure he caught hell for that.
