Dedicated to the enjoyment of the Porsche 356 automobile

Here are some shots of our
car. It's 1958 1600N Speedster #84332. It was sold new through Brumos Porsche in
Jacksonville, Florida where it spent the first part of its life. In 1976 it was
sold to a gentleman in Michigan and he owned it for almost 30 years. Prior to
him buying the car one of the previous owners installed a S 90 Luckily for us, the original motor and 644 transmission came with it when we bought it in 2004. We had intended to drive the car for a while before we restored it, but one thing led to another and Bob Campbell started on a total restoration that took 3.5 years. Steve Heinrichs was able to tell me the car came from the factory painted Ivory so that's what we went back to. We rebuilt and reinstalled the original drive train as well. The car has body fog lights, 60 mm front brakes, headlight stone guards, a VDM steering wheel with dual stalks, and a Glaspar hard top. It's a keeper and I'm looking forward
to many, many years of enjoyment, not just of 84332, but also with the wonderful
356 friends we've come to meet. |
