There's also a green one that shows up to some of the Bay Area swap meets/concours events. Bring lots of vaseline--that motor is a way tight fit in the 356 engine bay! I think they had to enlarge the center tunnel to fit the transmission. I am told the 356 trannies ain't up to six-cylinder type torque.

I think I saw that particular car at the 356 North meets South that spring...it was a little much.
I never saw the article, I'll read the scan!
But I think the guy had electric windows operated by the winder mechanisms...just a touch and they went up or down, and some wild stuff I cant even remember.
There are probably better things to spend $70K on...but I'm glad someone did it!
Nuts.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) .

I wonder how long it would take to do a valve adjustment in that car? prolly about 10 minutes longer than an engine pull would take.

I remember that article. I had my 63 when that came out. I thought it would be cool to do to it. I love that car.
