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?  |

Buy it and flip it as is. That car is very straight and honest as far as 356's go. It would be an easy sell at 12 -16K if cleaned up a little and staged properly (not in a field with flat tires). Maybe even invest in a COA if it seams like it may be numbers matching. That would add a couple grand right there. It is the T6 body style which is more desireable than the T5 B models. I have done 5 356's so far and none were much better than this. I have never lost money on them either. Of course I know what to do and not to do on these, which is where you can quickly get upside down.
