Gone To The Dogs: 1960 Porsche 356

It amazes me every time I see a rusty Porsche going for big money. The cost to restore these cars can be astronomical, so why spend huge money just to buy it? I guess supply just can’t keep up… more»

Very Original: 1965 Porsche 356

Editor’s Note – This Porsche sold offline before we were able to feature it. While we would typically not feature a find that has already sold like this, we thought the photo of this 356 in the barn was… more»

Porsche 356 for $5k
