It's an old car that keeps up with modern traffic, no problem. Amazingly modern feel compared to any of it's contemporaries - will cruise a 75 with ease, tracks straight and brakes better than you would ever expect. It's got the finned aluminum drums. Driving a 356 in modern traffic is a bit scary with it's 1950's safety features - ie. none. So, I drive it like a motorcycle, stay as far away from SUV's as possible and added 4-point shoulder harness and an LED brake light. I have the original engine stored out of the car and had a big bore 912 motor built for it. Thats good for about 100 HP I guess. Compared to the original 60, it's a big improvement. It's just so much fun to drive. Original interior is in great shape - hard to believe, but being only the 3rd owner and with only 77,000 miles after 57 years it's not too surprising... I love the big V-sunroof from the earlier pre-A model (couldn't afford a speedster). It was a "must have" feature that took me 5 years to find in a beehive 356A, so it's pretty rare. The sunroof is original to this car per Porsche COA.

This is the car I learned to drive in. My dad taught me how to drive a stick shift in this car. I wouldn't trade it, or sell it for any amount of money because of the family history and the fact it is so much fun to drive. She's a 61 Porsche 356B my dad owned from 1966 to 2014 in August when I took possession of it. I was 6 years old when he brought it home, took me for a drive and I said to him..."Dad when you die I get this car!" Due to health issues he decided to let me have it in August this year. The car was professionally restored about 7 years ago, body was removed repainted, interior leather was refreshed. Motor and car are parts matching, and all original parts - By the way...it's Pronounced PORSHA for all you guys that don't understand how to pronounce German names. An e on the end of a German name is pronounced as an A. Ferdinand Porsche designed the VW beetle, and his son Ferry Porsche designed the 356 series Porsche. This car is a very safe car to drive, excellent handling and a pleasure to cruise in. I averaged about 34 MPG on a recent road trip from the West coast to Missouri in it. My sisters son recently said..."Mike when you die I get this car!". So I guess he can have it when my wife and I are gone...keeping it in the family. The Odometer has either 387,000 or 487,000 miles on it. She was a daily driver and dad doesn't remember how many times the odometer has flipped over when reaching 100,000 miles. The motor has been rebuilt once since 1966 and doesn't smoke or burn oil. (Hint change your oil every 1500 to 2000 miles) Valvoline 20- 50 for the air cooled motor.

The Egg may be small, but she's perfectly formed! Handles brilliantly, cruises at high speeds without any trouble, and best of all.....I get to smile at the wideboys in their brand new 911's and say "mine has more class, and I own her"

This is one of those cars that draws attention everywhere you go! You don't see many of them on the road! It's not the fastest thing in the world, but it is as sexy a car as there is out there! Period!
