1963 Porsche 356

1963 Porsche 356 Modified and Chopped Outlaw – looks like a ‘56

Purchased off eBay in July 2005 – I have owned this prize for 11 years.   I bought it right after the Cox restoration and through the years I have paid attention to details like handling. suspension. heater. and drivability.   It is now a dependable and great driving car.   Since I retired back in California. I find I am just not driving this car very often. so it is time to pass this gem onto another admirer.

This is a real Porsche 356 –
converted professionally to an OUTLAW – the ultimate 356 – to see how cool outlaws are. click on this link:  https://www. google. com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1096&bih=619&q=356+outlaw&oq=356+outlaw&gs_l=img. 3. 0l4j0i30l3j0i5i30l3. 1955. 6832. 0. 8744. 10. 10. 0. 0. 0. 0. 85. 717. 10. 10. 0. 0. 1ac. 1. 64. img. 0. 10. 713. 0i8i30.

Bare metal restoration in 2004 at Cox Motorsports in Grandview (Kansas City) mo.

This could be the most beautiful 356 Porsche coupe in existence! It is definitely NOT stock! Well over $100k invested to create the ultimate 356 hot rod. If you wanted to build this car on your own. first you would have to find the 356 you wanted to restore. then restore it.   Then you would have to find a very talented body man to modify it to your outlaw specifications – then you have to take the entire drive train & rear suspension out of a 911 – and. if you want a total restoration. you then have to completely overhaul the engine. trans. & transaxle – then you have to figure out how it will fit together and make it happen – very few Porsche shops will even attempt this project – it is not a bolt-on – it requires a shop with great fabrication talent.   It is very rare to find a 6 cylinder 911 engine in a 356 because of the cost and the great engineering challenges.   You can have it now – turnkey.

Starting with a rust free 63 coupe. the car was stripped to bare metal. and totally rebuilt from the ground up.   Beautifully installed new larger 911 battery box and pan at time of restoration.

Notice the incredible roofline. it has been chopped 2 inches to resemble the profile of the Porsche Abarth Carrerras.

Front fenders sloped to look similar to the A 356 fender line.

Headlights dished like Ferrarri Dino. Door handles removed. filled with metal perfectly. remote door openers installed.

Show quality paint by Mike Winfrey. Won best paint at World of Wheels.   Color is Porsche linen silver and applied and buffed to perfection!

Power windows. recessed license plate. and early 356 beehive taillights.

Perfect correct red interior. New carpet. headliner. New 12v wiring. modern snap in fuse box system. eliminating the hassle of old glass fuses.   Turn signals are in the headlamps.

All mechanicals by Cox Motorsports. a highly respected Porsche race shop 911 race shop.  Perfect 1978 3. 0 liter motor makes 250 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque - 911SC motor. 5-speed 901 gearbox. and 911 transaxle.   The front mechanicals are all 356 – the rear mechanicals are all 911.   Heater from the 911 engine works great.

911 disk brakes all around. new shocks. suspension. uprights reinforced like Cox's Porsche racecars. 911 alloy wheels. Charcoal filter for gas tank. Turn signals hidden above headlights. Front fender oil cooler with thermostatically controlled fan like a 911 (never overheats). Aeroquip oil lines to the motor. New Weber tuned carbs. detailed engine compartment. Performance is like no 356 you have ever driven. very. very fast and reliable. The exhaust note is spectacular. coming from the Cox Custom Exhaust system that is silver jet hot coated.   This car is truly spectacular. the only one like it in the world. and gets more looks than you can imagine. It looks just right. very subtle. so the guys who appreciate the classics love this car. and the guys who love performance go nuts when they look under the custom louvered deck lid. There is no more exciting sound than the air cooled flat six Porsche engine.   This is your chance to have one of the most unique. beautiful Porsches anywhere. Reserve is set very reasonable compared to a build cost. This car is sold as-is. no warranties. Thanks for your interest.   Buyer is responsible for shipping.
