It is a lot of fun Mikki going through these old cars for the first time and finding the points of originality and history. They all say 'it's only original once', but it can be discovered again.

the original underlay and sound deadening material removed and in great nick. Removed the speedo and had a service sticker on the back of it dated 8/5/80 and porsche label on it. So cool

Would be good to see it as it is now, before restoration, has it been forward dated C3 style, widened rear arches etc?

I know someone who worked in John Newells parts dept.

Not sure if he was there in 1980 but will ask.

$7k !!!!!!

It's hard to believe the prices, these days Jim. I am contributing to a chapter for a new UK book on RHD 356s and the price in 1961 for a 356N was more than the then new E-Type Jag. So $7,000 would be pretty steep in 1967.

Sorry add was 1975 if you didn't know

[Merv]

Sorry - saw the '1967' in the image.

My father bought his 356B Normal Coupe on 1961 for 2495 pounds from Capitol Motors then owned by Arnold Glass ..... he was apparently the top Porsche dealer in Australia at the time.

You could have bought a modest 3 bedroom house on the lower north shore of Sydney at the same time. A high spec Holden ( a Premier EK or such like) was 1000pounds.

What's the book Merv? I'd be interested, and may have some pertinent information to contribute.
