Unveiling History: 1960 Porsche 356B T5 Roadster

In the realm of motorsports, certain vehicles carry more than just a racing pedigree; they embody a rich tapestry of history, skill, and passion. Such is the case with a piece of automotive history currently up for grabs: a historic SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) race car with an illustrious past dating back to its inception.

This race car, adorned with the scars of battles fought on legendary circuits, boasts a heritage that spans decades. Its story begins in the early 1970s, documented meticulously through two logbooks that chronicle its journey through the demanding circuits of SCCA events. From its inception, this car was destined for greatness, emerging as a stalwart contender in the fiercely contested E-Production wars of the late 1970s and 1980s. Wielding this machine through the peaks and valleys of competitive racing was none other than the renowned Porsche racer and restorer, Weldon Scrogham.

While its battle scars tell tales of hard-fought victories and near misses, its essence remains intact, ready to be restored to its former glory. Remarkably, as the seller says, the car exhibits no rust, however, it does bear numerous body modifications. Fortunately, the necessary components for a complete restoration are readily available, including a 1960 1600 Super engine, top, windshield frame, and seats. Additionally, the car currently sports a 1964 356C transmission in good condition, along with C disc brakes suitable for racing. Alternatively, a complete set of 356B drum brakes provides an option for those inclined towards a meticulous restoration. Find it for sale at $125,000 here in Chesterfield, MI.
