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. |
