Brief History:
This 356 C Coupe has been a 10 year on and off restoration/outlaw build. After originally being seen at Luftgekuhlt 3 it went into restoration then storage. I had a vision for the car since the beginning and after hearing Luft was becoming Air|Water and in my hometown of Costa Mesa, CA I knew I had to pull it out of storage and complete it. I then went into full blown work mode and over the past 2 months have put over 400 hours taking it from a dusty dilapidated shell to a fully running outlaw couple in Bali blue with a custom red/tartan interior.
This car was shot at Luft 3 and then went on to be selected as the original Luft site's Gallery marquee image with my son. It was a very special thing to share with him. Thank you Patrick and the whole Luft team.
My most unique quality is...
I currently sport a hotrodded 1956 engine from the A coupe that was in Luft 6 (profile picture) while the original numbers matching engine get's it own hot rod treatment. The A coupe is currently in restoration so look forward to it at a SoCal show soon!
My owner got me because...
His dad early on gave him the bug to find a "bathtub car" and when he found me he fell in love with my blue color!
One surprising thing abut me is...
The red/tartan interior was designed by myself using red leather, German square weave carpet, and authentic Scottish wool fabric from a 150 year old Scottish mill using traditional methods.
