The 741 transmission was reconditioned by Wertstatt (John Bunnin) in San Diego, it was completely disassembled, cleaned, and inspected. The stock ratio gears were used, the bearings were replaced, 4 new synchros, new bearing cage, synchro anchor, upgrade ring gear bolts, reset ring and pinion, shift forks, and rails as well as a reseal. Suspension: Koni shocks were installed with a front sway bar and the drum braking system including custom GT style air intake backing plates with reinforced control arms. The electrical system was also upgraded to a 12-volt system.
The current owner purchased this 356 in 2004 and over a 2-year period, restored this 356 from the ground up. Being a California 356 for several decades, the floor pans and battery box are very solid and well preserved. The GT Coupe has been driven to and shown at the North meets the South in Central California multiple times and also shown at the Southern California Porsche 356 Club concour in Dana Point and has won several awards.
This is a very enjoyable 356 to drive with a very powerful engine that accelerates quickly. The exhaust tone sounds great, the transmission shifts smoothly, and the four-wheel drum brakes stop the car straight. It is very rare to find a 356 T6 Coupe set up to GT specifications that has been restored to such a high standard.

Our financial advisor advised against. It'd be a small chip from our nut. And an investment. OK, maybe it should have discs instead of drums. The little guy on my shoulder is cheering me on. I'm close to 72 YO and this is a "dream car," and we want to do classic rallys with something we love. Hmm.
