Car is a "diamond in the rough". All original, no rust found yet. Irish green/tan (factory paint) without appearance group (no sail vinyl or chrome bumpers). I'll post some "before" pics soon. At my speed it will take a couple of months to do the detail work it needs.
Interesting history. PO bought it new in St. Louis while in graduate school after army duty. Became an overseas US teacher (shop) and took the car while teaching 4 years in Panama Canal Zone in early '70's. Has "turista" stickers from several Central American countries because he and wife drove it back to the states from there. After that it remained state side as he did 17 years in Saudi Arabia and most recently Camaroon. They came home every summer and that's when the car was driven. Has only 111K miles. He just retired and decided he wanted to replace it with a Boxster. |

I hope you can manage to keep the stickers in place and in pristine condition...its what gives these cars a history... I friend of mine if finishing up a 356A that has a similar world travel history. To bad all the stickers are gone, but he did snag a great vintage suit case to put on the rear lugggage rack that has alot of the same stickers, and he is buying stickers as he can find them to complete the "story" of the car... So cool where these cars have been and the things they have seen... Rich |
