Name: Pat Yanahan
My car:
1964 C Coupe.
Tip-off that a 356 was the car for me:
10 years ago Dan Gallagher let me drive his Convertible D back
from Road America.
My age when I acquired my first 356:
55 and that one did very well at the Porsche Parade.
Engine type:
1600 356C.
Miles driven per year:
About 2,000.
Favorite destination:
Wisconsin back roads.
Fantasy road trip:
Drive to the Holiday in Pennsylvania.
Most inconvenient mechanical failure:
Starter solenoid cable fell off terminal.
Car I'd have if I couldn't have a 356:
Quoting Ferry Porsche when asked which his favorite Porsche was:
"The next one."
What I like most about my car:
Meeting the nice people who also own a 356.
Most unique feature:
It now has leather seats again, just like when it was built in
1964.
Most recent repair:
New front brake calipers and brake lines. I did it myself
and it doesn't even leak.
Longest drive so far:
About 300 miles to Chuck Shank's open house.
Next project with this car:
Continue to restore it back to original. The first
restoration about 14 years ago did good body work but not the
details.
