I've worked on a few 356's with my back ground in ACVW's. What a pleasure to work on and drive. This particular one is probably the nicest resto mod I've ever seen. Motor sport quality but with all the charm. Intoxicating.
THANK YOU! This brings up so many happy Porsche memories going back to my father. Its great you understand a concours 356 was never meant to be a "trailer Queen". The smiling 356 can magically escape any trailer overnight. Air cooled all have name's. I am driving the boat you see in the pic but I prefer an organic driving experience. Cheers from southern Co.
Beautiful Car ,THANKYOU for sharing I had to Chuckle a bit over your comment of being very much like a Beetle untill you started the engine up this one doesn’t sound like too many Beetles with her strong deep exhaust tone !the entire car is just Stunning to look at and hear
Very professionally made video, I loved watching it. No comparison to my 59 T5. lovely that you could trace the history, sadly I contacted previous owners of mine but they never replied. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Tim
lovely 356 with modern upgrades, you don't smell of fuel & oil after driving something like that, I think my partner would prefer me to upgrade my 912 🙂
I love this. I had a 1961 356B coupe. It’s claim to fame was it was driven by Formula One race car driver Jackie Stewart, out on a date with the previous owner. This brings back such fond memories. Now at 75, and not able to afford a classic Porsche like this, I bought a 2000 Boxster S, 6 speed. Not quite the same nostalgic feel, but a lot of Porsche for a lot less money. It has a flat 6 with 258hp stock.
I felt like I was going back to my De anza college auto cross days…with my 59n orange pumped to s 90 specs….dad didn’t want me to store it so I could overland to brasil….sad to have let her go..
I’m glad you mentioned VW beetle. I watched Magnus Walker’s visit to a gentleman in Florida, who owns a 356. The footage was mostly driving and from inside the car with all the engine noise. It reminded me so much of my old beetle.
Desire for me now has changed considerably as I’ve gotten older , I love and desire these old Porsche 356s for their visceral simplicity and timeless beautiful lines . The closest I’ve gotten is driving my old worked 70 beetle 140 hp . I love these cars …
So impressed he felt able to do a restomod on a car with such provenance I’m not one of those who worships originality because they usually drive terribly.
There wasn't much left of the original... After 40yrs plus racing it, you really don't have much of a choice but to modernize it... That's why he referred to it as a "donor car"
such a beautiful color/car its perfect ,fell in iove with this coulor when we restored an e type in primrose yellow for a customer ,i would love to thrash this 356 hard to see what it can do !!!!!!!!!!!
I know this ex-AMAG Swiss "Tanker" 356B from a previous owner. Would love to speak with the owner about this build it is the ULTIMATE 356B GT "Hot Rod" example. The T5 Porsche body is the sexiest look ever and the 904 wheels take it over the top. Also in one of the two coolest colors for a "BGT" Condor Yellow and the other Heron Grey (Brumos driver ) William Bencker drove a Heron Grey 61' Push Rod GT back in the day.........One day I'll build the *sister* to this car, then maybe I'll see you at the Grande. :)
Fantastic car and a very worth watching video. Can you please tell me where I can buy the 4 in one gage for my own Porsche 356 project? I couldn't find it anywhere in Germany. I wrote to Jerry Woods, but the email address on his website doesn't seem to be correct. Thank you very much in advance for an answer. Regards, Martin
I owed a similar 1961 356 B in Condor Yellow back in the day. Paid $5600 for it in 1974. That was a lot of money for a 13 year old sports car. The solid construction and build quality really stood out vs the many other sports cars I owned in that era. Most competing European sports cars still relied on antiquated gearboxes that lacked syncromesh in first gear, wholly inadequate braking systems, and heavier body on frame designs. The Porsche “”Alfin” ( aluminum finned) drum brakes were miles ahead of the all wheel Dunlop disc brakes fitted to my 1963 Jaguar XKE. The 356 was 1000 pounds lighter too, helping to make up for the much smaller displacement engine. Of course the XKE was 45 miles faster in top speed, but the 356 was much more enjoyable as a daily driver, requiring less and delivering more joy. It was good to own both at the same time, while most of my friends were smitten with big American muscle cars. The contrast between the 356 and the muscle cars couldn’t of been wider. Back then the Porsche was widely unrecognized and not respected: many thought it was a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, a related automobile. I would conclude by saying that driving the 356 strongly reminded me of flying a small private aircraft: the shape, engine sounds, responsiveness of the controls, and complete confidence in the machine made for a most engaging and rewarding drive.
@@ClassicMotorFilms I DO believe Bruce Anderson recommended I contact Jerry Woods in reference to a 'hirth' roller crank for a project long ago. I also recall a chat with Jim Wellington. Probably back in the late 1980's or so. Grady Clay ended up having what I needed. With the Carerra 2's bringing eyewatering numbers these days, this is a well turned out alternative. Thanks for the upload.

240 hp in a car that weights 1800 lbs, that is a beast

If I wasn’t in love with my wife I would run away with “Connie”. Unbelievable car. Thanks, RickGTI

True work of art. I love this car. 230 HP. great
lovely 356 with modern upgrades, you don't smell of fuel & oil after driving something like that, I think my partner would prefer me to upgrade my 912 🙂
Great story! I’m building a 65 356 on my channel 👍

I had a 57' Speedster. Carrera engines wer greatbbut expensive, maintenance, parts availability were always there. Wish I still had my car.

Thank you thank you thank you for no music during start and road work. Finally! Someone gets it ..... beautiful build great story!
So impressed he felt able to do a restomod on a car with such provenance I’m not one of those who worships originality because they usually drive terribly.
ugggghhh, hearing Americans say coup!
Oh wow, I like the confidence this guy has, updating this car.
There wasn't much left of the original... After 40yrs plus racing it, you really don't have much of a choice but to modernize it... That's why he referred to it as a "donor car"
@@matj3296 Either 'original as possible', or 'whatever it takes to go faster.' Both paths are valid, I suppose.
You sir, got it going on.
Hi Jerry,
Been 46 years! I did not recognize you! Long time out from G.E.
Clever as always. Fun to watch.
Old Porsche Mechanic .

Outlaw thats not really an outlaw. Super awesome idea. What a car!!!

Id be happy with 120hp . Such pure distilled driving pleasure .
If it was a 2960 it would say Porsche on the nose.

Hi Tom, I’ll be happy to pass your contact information onto the owner if you email me at classicmotorfilms@gmail.com. Glad you enjoyed the film.
She's a beaut!
and the power/weight ratio - Wow!
Great story and car. Beautifully shot and edited. Bravo Jerry & John! 👏
Beautiful! Gearbox? 5 gears?
what a wonderful story. What a nice Porsche.
A masterpiece that would make the good Doctor proud!
Great story. Connie’s a beaut. TY ☮️
Beautiful ride. And a secret beast.
Tastefully done I must say.
Just a beautiful piece of art .
Perfection. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic car and a very worth watching video. Can you please tell me where I can buy the 4 in one gage for my own Porsche 356 project? I couldn't find it anywhere in Germany.

Thank you for the kind comments. The gauge was a one-off, custom built specifically for this car
Hollywood Speedometer
I really like the 356 shape
Camera person show us the car!
Dreamcombination. Fantastic car.
good job, enjoy your car
wow, it is stunning.👍
It is a Coupè, not a kup
Just beautiful!!!
DEAR SANTA...
ThT things probably worth a hundred thousand dollars
$100k is lowballing it....by a lot.
Beautiful car. What's the song name?
Put Your Hand In Mine, by Shanka. artlist.io/song/2457/put-your-hand-in-mine
What would you expect to pay for one now? In good driving condition?
It all depends on condition and what you want, but @Hagerty says $66K in good, not great condition.
@@ClassicMotorFilms Thanks. I’m about 65 short.

Very well done! Does Dean have a regular work shop? Thanks
All work was done by Jerry Woods Engineering in Campbell, California.
Thank you! I plan to reach out to him.
