A tip from personal experience: if you intend to buy a classic car to be restored, never buy rotten scrap just to save on the purchase price: at the end of the restoration you will regret it bitterly. You will regret it for three reasons: the first is about the money you will spend; in… Read More Dry white: 1962 Porsche 356B T6 Coupé
There are classic cars whose value goes beyond the classification of year, make and model, and this happens because they carry something objectively irrelevant but emotionally important. On the other hand, if you study economics at university, they will teach you the concept of the “rational consumer” which describes the individual acting out of self-interest… Read More Orange racer: 1957 Porsche 356 A Speedster
DP Motorsport is not a famous brand outside the circle of Porsche enthusiasts, yet it played an important role, especially in racing in the 70s and 80s. It is in fact behind the creations of the bodyworks of the most famous Porsche 935s that Kremer and Porsche have brought to the circuits all over the… Read More Kremer dynasty: 1982 Porsche 911-935 SC Cabriolet by DP Motorsport
In the last few years we have noticed a growing esteem for those classic cars that once would have been considered simply abominations: body of the time with high-performance engines and suspensions.

This 356 SC is no longer in the possession of the previous owner as it has been confiscated and auctioned off on July 20: it is rare to find classic cars that suffer this fate. It must be said that in recent years the SCs have experienced a surge in prices but in particular the… Read More Foreclosed: 1964 Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet
“Patina” is a term that is too often overused: it is in fact used for a wide range of conditions, from the perfectly preserved and original car to the one that has rust holes. In the case of this Porsche 356 (chassis #57011) we are talking about patina but in reality there is a lot… Read More More than patina: 1956 Porsche 356A Coupé
What can be the conditions of a car built 60 years ago and left 20 or 30 years outdoors, under a tarp? Not good, of course. Especially if the climate is that of Virginia, one of the wettest states in the United States, a climate that puts all classic cars to the test. Of course,… Read More Under the tarp: 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster
By now, for those who want it, there are no longer many possibilities to get your hands on a Porsche 356 at a “human” price. When I sold my 356 T5 Cabriolet for $ 47,000 more than ten years ago, it took me six months and even had to accept a car as a partial… Read More Last call: 1963 Porsche 356B T6 Cabriolet
All classic car enthusiasts would like to own a car with as clean a past as possible and, last but not least, owned by as few owners as possible. Clearly with the passing of the years all this becomes more and more difficult and yet we still live in an era in which, in rare… Read More Riverside ivory: 1964 Porsche 356 SC Coupé
There are several 356s on sale right now, yet this one struck us for two very specific reasons. The first reason is the combination of colors: you may like it or not but you will rarely see another Porsche 356 (of any series) painted in Togo Brown with a green interior; this combo color is… Read More Chocolate mint: 1964 Porsche 356 SC Coupé
