I might point out that the rubber parts of the brake lines, and a rubber part in the steering linkage need to be replaced, as well as the old tires of course, in order to make the car safe to drive.

There are numerous vendors selling virtually every part of a Porsche 356. I bought a 1964 356 SC sunroof coupe back in 1967, and I still have it. I restored it about 12 years ago. There is a 356 Registry on-line that can supply a gold mine of information. But these cars are now quite valuable, even for one that is…

I believe the horsepower was 95 DIN and 107 SAE.

Frankly, I think the ride was better than any other sports car I’ve been in, and was an incredible combination of ride and handling that I still marvel at. They certainly ride better than a modern 911. Of course, that assumes that the shocks have been replaced and suspension is otherwise in good shape.
