356A SPEEDSTER SOLID CALIFORNIA CAR FULLY RESTORED for sale
Current customer rating: (276 votes ) based on"I then moved to California in 1973 and ended up working opening shift in a gas station in Santa Cruz right where Highway 1 comes down the coast and through Santa Cruz and turns into the freeway headed south. I had just opened up in the early dawn light and this old bathtub Porsche convertible pulls in. and out pops Michael Parks. watch cap. leather jacket and all. He had driven all night up the coast highway from LA. I got to tell him how much it meant to me to ride across the Bixby Creek Bridge and he seemed very much like the character in the show. He told me he had grown up around Big Sur and the bridge scene was his idea.
Thanks for the site and for stirring up all that old stuff.

Mr. Parks sold the Speedster to a Los Angeles private detective in the early 1970's. and the detective stored the car in the Palm Desert for almost 40 years. untouched. He eventually developed cancer which caused him to lose part of his jaw. and he was fitted with a prosthetic face. He could not speak and communicated with me by email to sell the car. The story sounded outlandish. but when we arrived in the Palm Desert there was the car. just as he had written. And here it is. all finished.
