ANF Posted 30April, 2019 Report Share Posted 30April, 2019 "Hidden away in a shed, the 356B has been laid-up for more than four decades and is now ripe for restoration. " That's one way to put it..... it must have had a hard life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter John Posted 30April, 2019 Report Share Posted 30April, 2019 I would build a barn and put it in it. Would not restore! Just a piece of art! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merv Posted 1May, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 1May, 2019 It IS matching numbers but not a 90, they now say. A huge amount of work for someone. Adam Wright suggests it is fair value for a RHD car. 😮Not sure I would even think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troubleshooter Posted 1May, 2019 Report Share Posted 1May, 2019 I can see the value in this as a long term hold … I would not even wash it, just open the wallet for $30 or $40k to fly out and make it a good reliable goer mechanically, touch Fuch all else and have the coolest heap of shit around!

No gearbox & many years of sitting in a carport near the water - so maybe that $$ estimate isnt too far off?? This could probably be exported back to UK for a fare old profit, without doing anything. This is like the starting point for many cars that get restored in UK - not so much here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadnt read the gearbox was missing. That would kill a bit of value. Saying that, a very knowledgeable 356 owner I was talking with on the weekend said many cars aren't matching numbers, so it's not that unusual to see engines and gearboxes swapped 'back in the day'.

Merv Posted 2May, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 2May, 2019 I suspect that in the UK this car would be viewed differently. firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 2May, 2019 Report Share Posted 2May, 2019 12-15K for a gearbox. Chuck another 100-150K to pay someone to do all the work and you've got a 200K 1960B 1600 normal. Hmm. Might be a LOOONNNG term investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you would lighten the wallet a little more than that and show off the the patina by investing in some clear coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my 30 or 40k that's where the value ends for me for the moment ..... not everyone wants the long haul and pain of full resto to lose $$$$$$ or polishing cars endlessly 11 hours ago, smit2100 said: Surely you would lighten the wallet a little more than that and show off the the patina by investing in some clear coat.

Thanks Merv, the last one I saw (in photos) in similar condition, maybe worse, the stands supported the body to stop it bending and snapping apart because it was so rusty. Looks like some of the rear suspension has been removed as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 5May, 2019 Report Share Posted 5May, 2019 The green car is nice. Took him 10+ years to do. He just drove it from Qld to the Snowy mountains (and back) for the 356 Register weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
