Default what was i thinking?

after weed wacking the yard last week i noticed again some old 356 parts i buried in the cement i poured 26 years ago when i build the fence in our yard.

an front script and 2 reflectors all original parts from one of the A coupes i had parted out.

considering they are worth about $1500 wonder if i should do some demo'ing?

if i include the original porsche hood handle crest in my daughters fish tank, thats another $600

thats a lot of martini's

Damn dude. At least the badge is easy to remove (unless that's a piranha.)

I think you lost your mind a long time ago when you sold your 356.

Perhaps there's an Archeologist/Anthropologist on the site who could excavate them for a nominal fee...

Only rare if it's on a steering wheel.

Dang, I still have the hood crest from my '66 912 somewhere. Might have to look it out.

this 356 jewelry was worth a fortune 25 years ago - just keeps building in value

25 years ago when my photo studio was in SF i would buy 356's and ship em up to seattle - those too far gone i parted out.
had a blast doing this as a hobby for years. thats when ebay was just getting going which added to the fun - back when ebay was fun and not the store it is today.
