Reply to "Porsche 356 Speedster Seats For Sale"

Welcome JASTOROO.

I hope you find a buyer for your seats. They are very nice.

I think you might be surprised by the variety of attitudes among us about things like correct color, proper seat cushions and the correct texture of vinyl as well as the need to exactly duplicate everything from the marque.

Without question, there are those among us who strive to exactly replicate the original 356's. However, I think you will find that many of us simply like the iconic body style of a 356 and use that as the "wrapper" for vehicles that often depart drastically from Dr. Porsche's original vision. Many of us aren't particularly concerned about where our handbrake is located.

The fun in this hobby is the blending of new and old technologies in inventive ways to create cars that represent the owners vision not attempting to cleave to some pre conceived rigid standard.

Frankly, ours is often a creative endeavor.

Buying an old Porsche and returning it to what it looked and performed like in 1956 simply requires money, not ingenuity. Nothing wrong with doing it, but that is relatively easy given the cash.

Most of us drive our cars regularly, and aren't intimidated or worried about someone ruining our $250,000 baby, although a number of our cars have north of $100k invested in them. You might also be surprised at how many of us own, or have owned Porsches.

Very few people in our little community are out to fool anybody. It is almost a contest to come up with creative license plates that tip off others that our plastic (they don't rust) semi look-a-likes aren't what they might appear to be.

So, welcome. Relax and join in the fun. Also we can find you a nice Subaru powered phoney Spyder or Speedster that will leave original versions eating dust.

Again, I hope you find a buyer for those seats.
