1965 Porsche 356

Selling my 1965 Porsche 356 C Project car. Known history on the 356, I purchased it from elderly woman who had dreams of it being restored someday, but could not get it done due to her failing health. She owned it since the 80’s and prior to that, she had told me it was purchased at a tow yard. Apparently the previous owner could not pay to get it out and surrendered it to them. I believe it was in running condition at that time. She parked it in her backyard and let it sit for over 20+ years. Once I acquired it, the car was in pretty bad condition as you can see, I had good intentions of restoring it throughout the years by slowly picking away at it. Unfortunately, the costs on these restorations are outta my league. I’ve owned it for 8+years and consider myself a steward who kept it garaged after it previously spent all those years rusting away. Could be a parts car, drive it as a partially restored outlaw or if you have patience a full restoration project.As you can see from the paint it is originally white although, there’s many layers. The car comes as is. NO BUMPERS. I’m not a Porsche expert, but do know that this car has the original engine and trans. All castings are in line with the correct dates. The engine has never been turned over. It rolls fine, longitudinals look pretty solid. Floors are gone. Glass in good condition, dash looks good, if any questions I will be happy to answer. Serious inquires please. Buyers pays all shipping. Title in hand. Ready to let go of my dream car.
