Where do you even begin . . .

Can you buy POR-15 in 50 gallon drums? $2000 bid?

Maybe you could roll it off of a pier into the water. It would make good structure for fishing. Or maybe someone already did.

I checked out the high bidders other bids, seems like he is collecting parts for a 356. California!!!! nuff said!

It looks like the remnants of the ships at Pearl Harbor!!! Now that would be a great platform for experimentation!!! Cut away!!!!

TC: Before you cut, try putting your coupe on eBay with a very high reserve bid and the right to withdraw from auction. This should give you and us an idea of what the market value of your sweet machine is. Just a humble suggestion.

ps: Would you recommend Pam Anderson, Dolly Parton or Demi Moore have their enhancements removed? Just kidding, their custom jobs did come out OK unlike some of the examples shown on HBO's "Breastmen" (check Ask Jeeves or Google the site since nudity is involved I didn't want Vince going Dinky Dow on us.)

Buy this hulk. Especially in California.

Take the poor little carcas down to the DMV and get your title. Build your speedster "around" this (aka - give your speedster the VIN/title). Then register it with its sound CA title.

Wal-la. 1955 Porsche titled legally in California. Would this work? I know it would work in Oregon (my home). angela

It would be fine in Massachusetts as well. You would just have to be sure that enough of the original car was used. Since 356's didn't have a separate chassis, but rather were a unibody car, you wouldn't have the legal grey area of a chassis swap to deal with. You would simply be "restoring" the body and up-grading the suspension and brakes to safer more modern components. The VIN tags are located on the aluminum hinge cover on the driver's side. The identification numbers (or part of the VIN) are scribed or stamped on the back of the dash, in the front trunk, on the spacers on either side of the dashboard and on the inner door braces. (Plus sometimes on the hood and rear deck lid.) Use some or all of these parts on the refurbish/rebody and you'd probably be fine.

I checked into this to make sure that I could put a tube/rail chassis with a front mounted aluminum Buick engine under my 914 (also a unibody).

No problem with the DMV at all.

Do it in Virginia and you get to pay Personal Property tax each year on the Blue Book value of a 1955 Porsche 356 Cabriolet --- probably 50 times the value of a 1969 VW Bug.

Beleive it or not You Can get ALL the metal pannels for the 356s.
But Id go blind trying to put that back together.
