1964 SC coupe.
Tip-off that a 356 was the car for me:Upon my return from Viet Nam in 1969, I purchased a 1957 356 Speedster which my wife and I dated in until we were married in 1970.
My age when I acquired my first 356:My first 356 was a 1958 normal coupe and I was 25.
Engine type:1600 Normal.
Miles driven per year:200, definitely not enough.
Favorite destination:PCA Labor Day Concours at Road America.
Fantasy road trip:To drive the 356 to California and tour the Pacific Coast Highway.
Most inconvenient mechanical failure:First trip in the 356 was cut short by a rear tire blow-out on one of the original tires. I knew that I should have replaced the tires before driving it around the block.
Car I'd have if I couldn't have a 356:Porsche Carerra GT.
What I like most about my car:Its color, Signal Red.
Most unique feature:It is an original car: paint, interior, engine and transmission with only 35K miles.
Most recent repair:Had the carburetors remanufactured by Don Marks.
Longest drive so far:Not far enough.
Next project with this car:Replace rear main seal.
