My car: |
1964 SC coupe. |
Tip-off that a 356 was the car for
me: |
Upon my return from Viet Nam in 1969, I purchased a 1957 356 Speedster which
my wife and I dated in until we were married in 1970. |
My age when I acquired my first
356: |
My first 356 was a 1958 normal coupe and I was 25. |
Engine type: |
1600 Normal. |
Miles driven per year: |
200, definitely not enough. |
Favorite destination: |
PCA Labor Day Concours at Road America. |
Fantasy road trip: |
To drive the 356 to California and tour the Pacific Coast Highway. |
Most inconvenient mechanical
failure: |
First trip in the 356 was cut short by a rear tire blow-out on one of the
original tires. I knew that I should have replaced the tires before driving it around the block. |
Car I'd have if I couldn't have a
356: |
Porsche Carerra GT. |
What I like most about my car: |
Its color, Signal Red. |
Most unique feature: |
It is an original car: paint, interior, engine and transmission
with only 35K miles. |
Most recent repair: |
Had the carburetors remanufactured by Don Marks. |
Longest drive so far: |
Not far enough. |
Next project with this car: |
Replace rear main seal. |
