In 1965 I bought a 1953 Bent Window coupe in Big Sur Calif... All there and original. Black with a Palamino tan interior. Price ? And this is fact $100. Yup, one hundred US dollars. I kept it for a year, put about $100 into it and sold it for $1100. Hey I was 19 and that was ton of money. With the money I bought a Fairthorpe Electron Climax.. one of 21 and the only one shipped from England to the US. It would blow the doors off the Porsche, it's all about SPEED ! One of the Remaining 21 Fairthorpe Electron Climaxes recently sold for $50K US... Any guess what a 1953 Bent Window Posche Coupe would sell for today? Yup.. dumb move to sell it. I would rather have the Fairthorpe as a daily driver.
What do you all think. Will this be on the road again?
Hell yeah !
@@jeffhildreth9244 right. This thing is totally rad.

Omg. I mean they were not as hot back then. Now they are so rare. Cool to say you owned one. 🫡
@@VisionT7 I did say I owned it because I owned it. Once in a lifetime.
@@jeffhildreth9244 love it. Great story my friend.
