We just heard from Dale, the winner of the Porsche 356 shell that we recently auctioned. Like the other 356B, its new owner wanted to share that it’s arrived and is better than expected! We always love to see a classic we’ve helped with find a good home, so we are super excited for Dale and look forward to future updates on its progress. Here’s what Dale had to say: “The 356 shell you auctioned is home and better than expected. The Kardex revealed that this is a 1963 model delivered new to Burlingame, CA. The original color is the somewhat rare Smyrna Green. We plan to clean her up and refinish her in the original color. Beyond that, it has yet to be decided. The seller was perfect, and the car was exactly as described. Your shipper, Dakota, was efficient and fair-priced. Amazingly, the car and parts were delivered from Idaho to Southern California in 24 hours.”
Dale, thank you for sharing an update with us! We can’t wait to see it in its original color, so please keep us posted. We also want to thank Jonas for allowing us to find good homes for him and his father’s cars. If you have a classic car that needs a new home, you can submit it for auction here.
It is nice to see that there are still people who are not afraid to take on a project. I get so tired of the negative Nancys on here that proclaim projects like this as “junk” or “send it to the crusher” or “beyond help”. To Dale I say good luck with the restoration. I look forward to seeing in progress photos.
