I met this great couple recently .. old Porsche nuts like me .. and I saw they had this old 356 Speedster out in an old barn room just rotting away and of course I just went on and on about it ... and later, they found out it was my birthday .. and they just gave it to me! I know, right? Now I just have to figure out how to get it out of this room ....

The interior is mostly there ... no top dangit, but there's a lot of parts for it just laying around the place ... I think most of this will buff out ....

That's what you got?? That cruddy old thing?

I had a Porsche in about similar condition given to me on my birthday last year. Can you believe that somebody put a small block IN THE FRONT and went dirt tracking with it.

Probably take alot of work to get "Maynard" to turn right, as well as it turns left.

Interior is all business.

Happy birthday JPP.
