1965 356 C Cabriolet or the Turbo Cab?
Need to make room. I either have to sell the Turbo Cab or my 356 Cab. Which one should I part with?
Here is the rest of the info on the 356:
All Matching #s. VIN 162.154, Engine 733173, Transmission 86682
The car was restored in 92. The motor and transmission had been rebuilt. The floors had been replaced, the body had been taken down to bare metal. The interior had been redone with new German carpets and black leather seat skins. The motor had been rebuilt to SC specs with a 1750 Big Bore Kit. A new German canvas top was installed.
About $10,000 have been spend over the past two years (have receipts) to get the car to its current condition. Recently Weber carbs were added, brake system rebuilt, new exhaust, etc.
The car has been driven about 2,900 miles since the restoration.
Here is the bad:
Radio is not original. Drivers door needs adjustment.
Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche shows the Identification Number is the 11st to the last 356 ever built. Could this be the last 356 Cab out there today?
Should I sell it I need to get about $45,450.
The car is in San Francsico.

Sell the turbo, of course! Such a nice classic shouldn't be sold, simply because it would be so hard to get ahold of if you wanted something similar back.
996 Turbo Cab? Almost a dime a dozen nowadays, and when the 997 Turbo come out ... there will be even more on the market ...

Depends if you still want to track or not. If not, I'd keep the 356 instead. It's that much nicer to drive a 356 around town. It won't start looking dated like the TT because it's already a classic.
