1957 T1 A Super Coupe/1960 T5 Normal Coupe.
Tip-off that a 356 was the car for me:I have admired these cars since I was in high school in the 60's.
My age when I acquired my first 356:57.
Engine type:1957-Super Vic Skirmants-built engine with a big bore kit. 1960-Normal numbers-matching engine.
Miles driven per year:Between the two cars, 3,000 miles, but I am trying to improve on that number.
Favorite destination:Any curvy, twisty, hilly country road.
Fantasy road trip:I would like to drive the length of California Highway 1 in a 356.
Most inconvenient mechanical failure:Discovered a gas leak at the Geneva Concours and had a scary ride home.
Car I'd have if I couldn't have a 356:Topping the list would be a Porsche Cayman.
What I like most about my car:I like the speed of the Super Coupe and I like the smoothness of the Normal Coupe.
Most unique feature:H4 headlights and the headlight switch relay kit.
Most recent repair:Tom Funk and I recreated the openings and installed the overrider bumper bars on the A Coupe.
Longest drive so far:2007 East Coast Holiday to Boyne Highlands, Michigan.
Next project with this car:Fix some sheet metal on the underside of the A Coupe.
