Porsche 356 club socal. 6th annual Phoenix club meet.
Had the pleasure of seeing a lot of very special Porsche cars. It was a raining hard in the morning bit the classic cars still showed up these not so favorable conditions. Below are some pictures that gives you a good feel for the meet quality. Porsche 35...
Great pictures!
Seems like a nice event! Are the 930s the most modern Porsches that were present?
The main sponsor is the 356 club so mostly vintage meet.
All Porsches welcome so there was some moderns high tech but i was also looking mostly at the vintage. Bill

Some really beautiful 356 on display.
Some much charm and great history. The idea of driving to the track unbolt the speedster windshield race and then drive home. How cool is that and all for the low price back in circa1956 of $2,900. Too cool.

Great to see most of them ...

You are correct repairs can always be made.
But market forces are polluting the pleasure a little. The last 356 speedster sold in a state of junk pike ie needing a top to bottom restoration sold for 150k us. You will spend multiples of that for a professional restoration. Then unfortunately they be...
I know a few fun (old) cars ...
... that are still cheap ;-) ... but it takes time to find 'em !
