Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Meticulously restored in mint, as built condition. Painted by Junior Conway at a cost (reportedly $80,000) sufficient to buy most Porsche 356As. Best in show at the 2000 Porsche Parade and still good enough (good enough is an almost laughable concept considering its condition) to win Best in Show at the 2009 Dana Point 356 Porsche Concours. Matching numbers. Highly impressive is barely sufficient to describe it.

Market commentary

Restored by Tim Goodrich, who retained and replaced the original carpet tacks among other nearly meaningless details of its restoration (restitching the original tool roll through the original holes in the re dyed original fabric is another.) Only show field miles since, with 14 showing on its odometer. This is nearly GS money for a 1600 Normal Speedster, but it will amaze Porsche fanatics with its detail. It is not a rational acquisition, but is understandably irrational.
