1959 Porsche 356-A (non-honda duh... 56k = meh..)
Pictures of my fathers 1959 Porsche 356-A Cabriolet. Restored to concours condition, all original parts. Gets driven every weekend and is just a gorgeous automobile.

Ocean pic is Morro Bay in Central Coast California. Others are either from Dana Point (SoCal) or Monterey (central). We go to shows and events all over CA.

Thanks for the kind words!
Only non-oem parts are the Weber Dual-Downdraft carbs, 2.5" Aluminum velocity stacks, K&N Filters, and Aluminum Intake manifolds. OE is single barrel carbs, no stacks, restrictive filter.
Still have all the OE parts (which get put on for concours events), but since the engine produces only 65hp in stock form, the carb and intake upgrade parts make for a much more fun driver for the weekends.

We also have a hardtop for the car. It needs to be restored, but when it is, oh man... its going to look great.
When it gets done it will be a black hardtop fully upholstered in red leather.
