I am a 76 year old semi retired orthopedic surgeon. Have loved the 356 Porsche for over fifty years. One of the great misses in my life was when a fraternity brother offered me in 1965 a 64 356 SC for 3200 dollars with 15k miles on it and mint. His father was quite rich and would send him to Germany every other year to pick up a Porsche, drive in through Europe and ship it home as a used car. It was metallic silver with black interior and racing seats. I can visualize it as I write this. But my father was not rich and I did not have a car much less a porsche. I would party my way out of college and into the draft a few months later and spend five years in the navy and two years in Vietnam as a Diver, demolition and bomb disposal expert. I got out of the service and went back to school on the GI bill. Through the years had a 66 Vette, a 71,74, 82, and 83 Porsche Cabriolet and a sunbeam Tiger. My guess an escort radar detector saved me around three quarters of a million and a few months in jail. I have a cobra replica now and have placed it in the classifieds to see if there is any interest from those in the forum for a trade. I am concerned if I keep this death machine I will die. I am certain if I had the cobra in my twenties I would already be dead. My best to all of you and thanks your informative post. david
