Default 1949 Gmund Coupe

Had a chance to spend some time this morning with a 1949 Gmund. Beautiful car, all of 24hp. Could be yours for slightly south of $500k.

No, unfortunately, i did not get to drive it, as it was parked way in the back of the shop next to my 930. I did drive a nice road rally equipped 356SC with a Skirmants - looked like it was ready to start Monte Carlo 40 years ago.

There was also a 908/02 in the shop which had been in a vault in japan from 1972 to 2004 - it looked like it could have been a Sebring car in 70.

See y'all at VIR next week.

There was a blue Gmund coupe for sale at a restorer's in Tallahassee last year, $350k IIRC. Purty car, but I'd rather just get my C coupe fixed up. Not that I could ever afford it anyway...

The SC is for sale. It has a carbon fibre hood, rollbar, twin chronometers, fog lights, and one of those cool low profile mirrors on the left fender. Somebody put a lot of money in the car. I drove it and have some interest in buying it, but have some other competing 356 interests at the moment.

The car is in Virginia; I will PM you the number.
