I'd say over priced by about 100K but all it takes is that one guy with money to burn. With the way prices are going it should be there in 3 to 5 years. Just my opinion of course |

Wow we really need an on going Sticky on Official Whiners, Officially Whining about cars and parts for sale I know of this 356 and the owner did the right thing. Yes the car was original paint but showing its age. He had the opportunity to have one of the best of the best vintage 356 guys in the world restore the car & given the chance most would have as well. Jack Plumb passed away months after finishing the car and would be his last of dozens. The engine at just over 70k miles was in need of a rebuild. Once again having one of the best in the business Jack Morris perform the rebuild, using all its original parts. The car won best of show at the largest car show in Utah. This 356 is stunning to say the least! As far as values, check out the Feb 2016 issue of Porsche excellence. A #1 Porsche 356 A is currently at $200K. By there description of a #1 car (perfect paint, NO flaws) Original cars would be in a separate category & in my opinion this 356 is well priced. Whether one likes it or not, it still is what it is.... A real vintage ORIGINAL Porsche 356. |

It can only be ORIGINAL once (that time has passed for this car).
Like if a 50 yr old MILF got a face lift & boob job... could she honestly say she is 40... or rather... does she just LOOK 40?
There's ORIGINAL... and then there's all the minutiae between rust heap & 100 point. _________________ aka: Evan

Exactly, if he wanted to restore it, fine, but he has no right to claim any originality, especially the mileage. ALL of its originality is gone, especially the mileage. I don't know or care what they go for, I'll never be able to afford one, I just have issues with people claiming originality that isn't there anymore. |

This is from the Split Bus thread... but it applies to all people who want to keep stock, modify, restore or otherwise personalize their vehicles. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder & we all want to do our own thing for our own reasons...

Who cares if someone else doesn't like your car? I sure as hell don't get all butt hurt if someone thinks my camper sucks or thinks it would look better if it was "slammed like a bitch".

It's not about that, to me anyway. It's about him and countless other's claiming originality after its gone. A rebuilt engine no longer has its original mileage, just like a restored car isn't original anymore. I don't care what people do with their stuff, I like stock and lightly modified, I just hate seeing people claiming original mileage and originality when it's a car that's been rebuilt and restored. |

I don't think anyone cares if the original engine is rebuilt?
Only that it's the original numbers-matching engine.
(And a lot of people don't care about that either)
I see no problem rebuilding an original engine so that it's a known entity and fresh again.
If someone told me their car had 70,000 original miles but the original engine was now rebuilt with 500 miles, I consider that car worth more, not less.
Why the hell do I want a 50-year old engine with 70K on it?!? _________________ How to Post Photos

This ad had been up for a few weeks at $374.99 plus shipping here and on the 356 registry. Was $374.99 for a few weeks and now the price is $500 plus shipping.

Divide the asking price by 10 and you're in the ballpark. |

Hey, Jack--Was that in the description somewhere or did you look up the chassis number? I was thinking it was just a "regular" T-6 coupe. I agree, $84K for a Carrera 2 would be a scam.
Thanks-- |
