New Here from So CA.

Welcome to the madness,brother.  You've come to the right place. There are dozens of speedster knuckleheads in Socal. I'm sure you will get a chance to see and drive one of these fun mobiles not too far from where you are. I think in Cal you might be best off buying one that's already registered there but I think others here know more about that.  There are always some great cars for sale in the classifieds here and everyone here can help you keep it going.  Misery loves company.

Thanks Aldog... the search is part of the fun for sure!

I am also registered on TheSamba as I have a couple VW's and I see 356's pop up on there once in a while.

Are there any other reputable websites who are semi-dedicated to the 356 replica?
Craigslist people tend to be flaky and eBay is well... eBay, which tends to fetch top dollar for items listed.

Indetrucks-out here (West coast) you should contact Troy Sloan. I believe he will be selling one soon. Keep watch in the classified sections.

Also, the mid-20s ($) range contact Vintage Speedsters in Hawaiian Gardens. Probably 20 minutes from your location. Worth an hour of your time!

Torrance, CA

I like the idea of picking up a Brand New one but I also like the idea of picking one up that is used with a few more options around the same price.

Thanks for the tips, I will FOR SURE be keeping a look out.

I'll def check them out, maybe I'll go up this Friday since I have it off

I am also in Torrance, where in Torrance are you.....

I may be of some assistance.....

Oh very cool! I'm close to PCH and Crenshaw

Any friendly pointers when picking one out?

I'm really partial to the Silver exterior 356's

I will be selling my 64 Notchback here shortly also.  So if you know of anyone interested, let me know

Hey truckster, brother Jimbo here on the SOC has a son who gets a chubby when he see's a notchback, he may be interested....

I am located off the intersection of Crenshaw & 235th...Marble Estates...

You should come over & have a scotch & a chat some afternoon...I usually work mornings

Dude, you are on the right site and living in the right place.  You're about to meet some of the coolest people out there and go on some great cruises.  The rest of us aren't too bad either, but we're not all that close.  Start thinking about coming to Carlisle, PA next May to meet the rest of us.

Sounds good... you are a mile or so away from me!
When I take some pics of the Notch, I'll post em up.

Real quick:

Bone Stock unmolested Beige 1964 w/black plates and a rack.

Runs great etc... Nothing fancy, just a driver.

Probably ask $8k OBO

Has it's flaws as any VW from 64 does

Hey Truckster remember to take care when someone says they live at 235th and crenshaw in marble estates... that translated means he actually lives on the corner of 235th and Crenshaw.. Marble Estates is the marble food table outside of a closed taco bell...

Truckster welcome to the madness my new brother from that different mutha... the 356 is a pure race car built for the street and the passion we have for these tubs is evident here... You're in a good spot even if you join us for a ride prior to you pulling the trigger here...  As long as you buy the first round most of these MUGS around here won't mind a bit...

Speedster "D" Set'em up!

"Buy the first round". Speedster "D" you're lettin' him off too easy.

PS: Make sure you let me know when.....

Welcome! More on the notch please.
