So, I have a potential lead on a complete "field find" 1962 356B that's been parked for the last 19 years in a north east state.
I know. It's insane, and I'm not really a 356 guy. So why am I still thinking about it? Anyone ever taken this leap before? I'm not new to the game. I see the huge amounts of $$$ ($$$$) and work there (provided that it still has some structural integrity underneath), but I also see a really cool story to tell. What do the experts think?  |

get some pics of the underside, wheel wells, battery box and rear seats. those are the MAIN spots. If you want the car it is worth restoring. If you want to FLIP the car, there are few worth messing with unless it is complete (which it appears to be ) and you can get it sub 10K. The replacement metal is no more expensive than a 914, but you have to remember they have on average 20 years longer exposure. Other parts get pricey. Plan on 10k+ for the engine rebuild if it is in decent shape
