Car Guy Corner: The 1963 Porsche 356B Restoration

Writer's picture: Dave DomenchiniDave Domenchini


As Car Guys do, Corbin and Dave recently took on a project for a friend who inherited a 1963 Porsche 356B.


The car had been parked and unused for about 27 years. Dave and Corbin spent some time on this “barn-find,” and after some engine, brake, and fuel work, they were able to get it back on the road. It’s always fun to “wake up” a car from its long slumber! The pictures below show the evolution of this sleeping beauty from being found in the barn to being loaded on the trailer and, finally, the completed project.



 The day it was found in the barn.

The day that it was loaded into the trailer.

The day it was completed and just before its first drive.

Many of us might know someone who has a car and says, “Someday I’ll restore it,” or at least get it running, but unfortunately, “someday” never comes. If you have or know of a car that needs to be rescued, please reach out to Dave and let him know. And be sure to ask him about his “Finders Fee.”

Well done, sir! Great looking 356B! Would love to see some more "before" pics from the barn find moment. Great project. What else was in that barn, I wonder?


Side note: You sure those red wheel hubs are period correct?
