Porsche 356 Speedster Conversion
This guy is a bit on the boring side. Don't let that scare because the car in this video is pretty cool. It's a kit car, but the electric conversion makes it desirable in my book. I doubt you'll make it through the full hour and forty minutes, but watch the first video. You'll get the highlights and get to see the big parts of the conversion.
Sweet Old Porsche Picture
I was cleaning up my desktop today (had WAY too many things parked there) and came across I picture that I had saved for posting on the blog. No idea where I got it, but I love it. It's a great window into what the life of Porsche must have been like in the early days.
Porsche 356 Factory Footage
I found these YouTube videos referenced on another site somewhere. It's a 5 part series showing the Porsche factory and 356's being made by hand. Pretty amazing. Maybe you'll have extra time to kill this Monday and be able to get through all 5. If not, come back and watch them.
Win a Porsche Outlaw 356
I read about this fundraiser last month, but completely forgot to post it on the blog. Maybe it was some subconscious move to try and increase my chances of winning one heck of a sweet Porsche Outlaw 356! James O. reminded me of it last week though, so now everyone will have a chance to get in on the action.
Historic Porsche or Marketing Fake?
I passed on mentioning this car last week because I had determined in my mind that this was a fake. After taking another look, I'm not 100% sure, although I'm still leaning towards that end. I thought I'd throw it out here to see what everyone thought.
Porsche Outlaw 356 Project
I got an email recently from Shane, one of our PorschePerfect.com readers. He mentioned he had recently purchased a Porsche 356 and set out to build an Outlaw 356. He had me at Porsche 356, but I dropped everything when I read Outlaw 356!
Porsche 356 Restoration Pictures
James O was kind enough to send over some pictures of a couple of projects he's worked on, one of them very recently. He's one dang lucky guy getting to work on beauties like these.
"Daily Driver" Porsche 356
Paul sent over several pics of a Porsche 356 he spotted in McMinnville. He said it was packed with luggage (it also had Texas plates). Looked like they were travelling in it.
Janis Joplin's Porsche
It's always interesting (and sometimes downright scary) to see what people do with their cars to imprint their personal style and tastes on them. This is especially true of people with money, which is often where the scary part comes into play.
Early Model 356 Project
James O. sent in the above picture of a project 356 car they're working on. Here's what he had to say:
This is our current Porsche project. It is a 1953 356 with a rare sunroof and an even rarer factory bench seat. The color is an original Porsche blue and it will have a red interior. The only real modification is the addition of front disk brakes.
Thanks for sending this in James! Maybe we can get some update pictures as it progresses or some completed restoration pictures?
