I'm a french guy who bought a 356 B T6 1963 N° 212330 coming from california.
Blue bali painted; white race wheels
This car has never been restored and I want to modify a minimum of things; only replace parts to keep the original design and delivery from porsche
The owner from this car was a member of the PCA club in california
.
I'd like to know if someone has pictures of this car or informations about it or from the owner ( name, localisation,.. ).

I think he died recently but as this is a first hand car sold to him, it would be interesting to find the true history of this car till 1963 to now.

Thanks for your help !!!

best regards

Stéphane VINOLO from France

For those who can't read French, I believe Jacques is saying "Unfortunately I do not know this car. It is very pretty."

I don't know it either, and have never seen wheels like that on a 356.

Good luck with your search for information.

Best regards,

Hello everybody !
After some research, I found original lemmertz wheels in france which correspond to the year of my car.many other pièces are replaced to try to have the original condition

But no news about the first owner.
I discovered that ( I'm not sure ) he lived in colorado springs san nevada avenue 86
Do someone can visit him and show the picture of his car ( picture 1923 )?

It would be nice if he's always alive.

Not really esay from france...

thanks a lot

stephane

Looks like you have some work to do on those rear fenders. Ouch, KTF

_________________

You are right and I know that

The first and only one owner cut parts from rear fenders to put bigger wheels many years ago but he kept the cut parts that I have with me !!

Next monday I send my car to the car repair shop to weld these small parts of steel to have the right original look and blue bali painting.

I was disapointed when I saw that !

Time will let me the possibility to have a nice car, I hope.

Stéphane

Not to be critical, but I hope the glass is covered when welding. The spatter bits go everywhere and will melt onto the glass and give pitts. Also, on plastic, and everything else that isn't covered or far away. Glad to see the car has gotten a great second owner.

Don't worry.
All is under control !

New pictures before paint next.
I always try to find the first and only owner who Georg Poehlmann who lives 553 RED CLIFF RD
COLORADO SPRINGS CO 80906.
I try to find him ( he sold the car on 9/29/11to a garage in atlanta ) to get informations about the car, history, invoices,...or pictures.
Do someone can help me never colo springs ?

It would be a great adventure to follow my car in the past !!!

Thanks for your help

stéphane in France
