DESCRIPTION
We are pleased to present this 356 pre-A Continental Outlaw, which underwent a meticulous three-year rotisserie restoration by a local Porsche enthusiast and racer. This original California car was originally delivered by Max Hoffman in Los Angeles and featured minimal rust prior to the project. Restoration Details:
The restoration included the replacement of the floors, longitudinals, battery box, closing panels, jack spurs, front suspension pan, rockers, and inner fenders. All new sheet metal and a new fuse block were sourced from Restoration Design Canada.
Exterior and Mechanicals:
The car is finished in Fashion Grey with five layers of clear coat, featuring consistent panel gaps and new rubber trim. It retains its original radio, glass, gauges, and lights.
- Performance: The original transmission was rebuilt by Rancho, and the steering box, kingpins, link pins, wheel bearings, and suspension (front and rear) have all been rebuilt or replaced. It features Koni shocks, Old Speed/Paramount front discs, and a new gas tank. - Engine: The C engine was completely rebuilt by Leonard (formerly of Fat Performance) with a 1720 Big Bore kit, new Italian Weber carbs, and less than 50 miles of use. - Electrical: The 6-volt system includes a new battery and a Wasp starter. Interior:
The interior was completed by K&H Interiors in Southern California at a cost of $15,000.
Current Status:
The car runs and drives excellently. Here is a link to a video test drive:

- The heater is currently disconnected (cables and boxes are present). - The radio rectifier requires rebuilding. - The original gas gauge is currently inoperative (a new VDO unit is included for a standard swap). The vehicle comes with a clean California title and is smog-exempt. You can view a video test drive here: [Link to Video].
