Hmm. Maybe an Intermechanica replica? Did you peek into the deck lid louvers to see if it (most likely) had a VW engine? Side mirrors look pretty useless to me. What is up with the parking spot?

Here was sighting from July 2010 on the road adjacent to my house.  Never spotted it again.

Didn't look into the engine bay. It did have a nice stainless exhaust though. As I expected when I talked to the owner it wasn't an original but he was sporting a Por-Sha registry badge. If I'm not mistaken there were only a few of these produced and most if not all are never driven. Aren't they close to 7 figures if original??

Porsche 356 and 911 models are way too expensive.  I adore them but cannot afford them.

yep - looks like a speedster replica.

 

I've thought about a replica for one of the completely unobtainable cars - like a 550 (from beck) or a GT40.  

 

but, I'm out of room, unless I sell something.  And that's not going to happen.

This, one-family-owned, Carrera 2 survivor shows up on a regular basis at our Friday car meet at Sandeez Hamburger Hut in Lakeway, Texas. It's pretty flippin' sweet.

Sorry... No pics of the incredible engine. I'll grab some next time I see him.

Spotted today in San Luis Obispo. Upgrade to 1800 cc per owner who daily drives it though it was a track car for a while

Turn back to the 356 topic.  This sweet 65 356C (4-cam) showed up at a new Cars & Coffee near Dulles Airport today.

According to the owner's notes it is the last one made.

I was salivating over this 72 911T.  Think the owner and his son run a Porsche restoration shop.

Both pretty.  The twin cam engine is a rare beast.  That's gotta be an expensive car to be tooling about in.  I'm surprised Jerry Seinfeld hasn't called.  Apparently, the license plate on Jerry's 993 is "LAST" - as it was the last air cooled 911 produced.

 

I have a buddy that just bought a 68 or 69 911, same color as that one.  Beautiful car.  I can't remember what color blue it is, but it is very nice.

This little guy just showed up at our coffee shop last weekend for Coffee and Cars..  it caused quite a stir as I understand it.  Word on the street is that he paid a premium for a very nice '91 911, and then paid Singer to do their thing.  Talking nearly half a mil, all in.

Recent Road & Track has a wonderful cover article by Sam Smith with him driving a "Reengineered by Singer"  911.   Fussiness over tiny details like body panel fitment and door pulls are incredible.    I follow Rod Emory on Instagram (RODEMORY (Rod @ Emory Motorsports).  His place does amazing work on early Porsches and they even added some louvers to the "T" bar hoop for Singer.
