Dedicated to Porsche cars, such as the Porsche 911, and the pursuit of ownership » Ugly Porsches http://www.porscheperfect.com Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:48:11 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Ugly Porsche: 359 http://www.porscheperfect.com/2008/12/11/ugly-porsche-359/ http://www.porscheperfect.com/2008/12/11/ugly-porsche-359/#comments Fri, 12 Dec 2008 00:28:59 +0000 admin http://www.porscheperfect.com/?p=229 Yes, you read it correctly.  I used the word “ugly” next to Porsche AND yes, I meant to type 359.  I debated about whether or not to post this, but then decided I owe it to all of you, PorschePerfect.com’s fine readers, to share this finding, even if I think it’s uglier than a stock Cayenne.

This happens to be a 359 Porsche Roadster Kit built by Classic Motor Carriage.  It’s built on a shortened 1972 VW Bug chasis.  No engine.  Just $6000 or trade, but “no junk”.  Hmmmm.

Now I love the 356, and have been a fan of the 959 since it’s introduction, but putting them together like this looks like a Conan O’Brien “If They Mated” offspring gone horribly wrong.  I’m sure someone at Classic Motor Carriage had good intentions, but in my opinion, heads should roll for letting this one ever see the light of day.
