I have several parts from a "real" 356C cabriolet. I figured I would see if any of you guys can use these parts before I list them on eBay. I bought most of this stuff off of some guy who was clearing out his garage.
I'm at work right now, but I'll probably take pics this weekend and post them.
I have 2 door panels out of the cab. They're red vinyl with red leather arm rests. I think the arm rests were a factory option. I don't know if these will be a direct bolt-in into a replica, but they could probably be made to work pretty easily. They also have the map pocket.
I have several back issues of the 356 registry. These date from the late 70s to the early 90s. If any of you are looking for inspiration for your cars, there are some excellent pics in these. There are probably 30 of them. I flipped through all of them last night. Really interesting articles, and a lot of history. I would prefer to get rid of all of these in one transaction.
Calendars. 4 or 5 calendars from late 80s, early 90s. These are all 356 calendars with some beautiful photographs of the car (coupe, speedster and cabrio). These pictures would make really cool posters in a garage. I don't have a garage, so no cool posters for me. :(
Several door handles and window cranks. Chrome is in decent condition. Some window cranks have ivory knobs, some have grey. I even have the circular trim pieces that go behind the handle against the door panel. I am keeping two of the door handles, but there are a few left.
I have just the bottom of a reclining 2-piece seat. It's red vinyl (matches the door panels). Springs are still in great condition. I really have no use for this, but the guy wanted it out of his garage. I'll even throw in the original Tartan (red and black plaid) seat cover.
A Henry Elfrink repair manual. I'm at work, but I think the copyright was 1969. The cover is worn, but the rest of the book almost looks like it was never opened. From what I understand, this book is a classic (It's also 13 years older than I am, so that makes it, like, an antique).
I also have a set of push-rods, one beehive tail light, brake cables, a set of snaps for a tonneau cover, a 356 book (written in German), and a Stoddard catalog from a time when Ohio's sales tax was 4.5% (and hubcaps were $8.50).
The item that I am most likely to keep is a pictorial guide to the porsche 356 A, B and C. If you really want it, I MAY be willing to part with it.
MAKE AN OFFER ON ANYTHING! Everyone has been so helpful on this website that I wanted to give you the first shot before it hits eBay.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Email me at ajw37 AT pitt.edu. I'll get pics up by Sunday.
