Ever wonder what it's really like to own and drive a Porsche 356? Not just look at its pretty shape, but actually live with one? How hard is it to find a good one? Which are the best and worst models? What to look for on a test drive? Once you have one, what's the proper way to maintain it?
Porsche expert Jim Schrager takes you into previously uncharted waters in this "survival handbook" for the Porsche 356 owner. This is not the usual road test rehash based on spending a few hours here and there in various Porsches on loan. This book documents decades of data from actual Porsche ownership. It tells the story of how to find, care for and enjoy your own 356 without frustration and without taking a second mortage to do it.
You don't have to be a mechanic to understand the elegant engineering that has made this car a legend. And you don't have to spend a fortune to own one, with 356s available in all price ranges, for every taste, from project to pristine. And even though every 356 is at least 35 years old, they don't drive like old cars. A properly sorted example will simply amaze you with its comfort, performance and durability. And it is a car that attracts a great deal of attention without requiring much itself.
Come along with Jim as he travels the country looking for those gems among the good, the bad and the ugly. And join him in his garage while he solves some of the mysteries of the boxer 356 engine. Whether you are new to the marque or a veteran, this book shows you how best to find. evaluate. buy, maintain and enjoy this landmark auto.
