1964 SC Coupe
Tip-off that a 356 was the car for me:Engineering features that were standard for Porsche and ahead of other contemporary makes, and just fun to drive
My age when I acquired my first 356:45
Engine type:Rebuilt SC motor with big bore kit and higher performance cam
Miles driven per year:Approx 4,500
Favorite destination:N.W. Illinois / S.W. Wisconsin rural roads and Road America
Fantasy road trip:Driving to Napa Valley Calif. on the "back roads"
Most inconvenient mechanical failure:Last summer when returning from the ECH the rear bushing in transmission linkage failed after 43 years
Car I'd have if I couldn't have a 356:Early 911
What I like most about my car:Fun to drive, and I'm able to do just about all mechanical work to keep it in top condition
Most unique feature:Color, there aren't many Irish Green 356's
Most recent repair:Replacing windshield wiper rubber around posts through cowl
Longest drive so far:95 WCH in Colorado, I drove 2800 mi on that trip
Next project with this car:LED Brake Light / Turn Signal lamps to fit under the rear grills.
