I am pleased to announce that the position of
Historian has been filled by Jim Perrin. The full job
description will beannounced at a later date as it
becomes defined. The intentions now are for Jim
to write articles of historical interest (see
centerfold on the356 evolution in this issue). Jim
is a member of the Society of Automotive
Historians and has beer: driving Porsches since
1959, when he purchased a 1953 1500Super Coupe
as his first car. Jim's cars include a restored 1958
1600 Super Speedster and an original 1964 SC GT
Coupe.
The 356 REGISTRY is the publication of the 356 REGISTRY, an
Organization oriented exclusively to the interests, needs and
unique probiems of the 356 Porsche owner and enthusiast. Our
goal is to help in the preservation and perpetuation of the vintage
356 Pois~he.
(A 356 is defined as the similar body style series Porsche from
the 1948 prototype through and including the 1965 356C
models.)
The 356 REGISTRY is the central forum for the exchange of
ideas, experiences and information . thiswill enable ail to share
the 356 experience of one another without one to one
correspondences.
Any interest in Xeroxing the NLA 'A'
Workshop manual? Or any other NLA printed
REGISTRY? If there is any grass-roots interest, let
me know and I'll pass the info on to the member
who expressed an inwrest in such an undertaking.
Anyone else interested in helping with such an
operation?

there! Jim Perrin, Historian, is already at work on
a presentation for the next Holiday ...Jim is
planning some real surprises! 2nd 356 Holiday
Chairman, where are you?
Biii Brittain, Williamsport, Pa., REGISTRY member and editor of the 356 Corner, a regular coiumn
in his PCA region's newsletter, DER SPRECHER,
has again given theREGlSTRY mention in his
column. Thanks Bill! We need the exposure! If any
of you are in a position to give us a plug, whether
it be to a stranger you meet at your Porsche garage
or a write-up in your PCA newsletter, please do it.
The REGISTRY will be better because of it.
Regarding the subject of correspondence, please
understand some of our constraints. The
REGISTRY does not have any full time employees
or any paid parttime people. Everything except the
printing and delivery of your REGISTRY is 100%
volunteer. Your letters are wiihout doubt very
important but please don't be too disturbed if it
takes some time for a reply or action to be taken.
We are trying.
I am encouraged by the response that was
generated by the pleas for restoration-type
articles. Four members indicated that they will try
to contribute on a regular basis. Three of. the
volunteers are into restoration for a livelihood, the
other has done extensive work on his own
collection and wants t o approach the problem
from a poor man's viewpoint. (Good!) Now don't
let usdown, you guys.
All of us have been following, I'm sure, the
dizzying upward spiral of 356 prices. This Includes
prices of parts and accessories. Those of you that
are looking to buy another 356 have probably had
to regroup"(just ask me!) after seeing how much
you have to pay for even cars that really have
problems. Some particularly nice cars are going
for double their original new sticker prices! And I
heard of a supposedly exceptional Speedster that
was recently forsale for $12,500!!! The REGISTRY
has had some fallout of members for this very
reason, even though we haven't been around that
long (see letter, Of Interest section). I do not see
any changes in the price situation, short or long
term. One consolation, however, is that the
investment you have in your 356 is better than
money in the bank. Your investment will continue
to appreciatefasterthan our double digit inflation.
The only other investment that I can think of that
will approach this rate of return is in real estate.
INDEX
U n l ~ k ereal estate, 356's seem to be a very liquid
asset. Rumor is that collectors of other more
exotic automobiles are being priced out of their
cars also and are getting very interested in 356
Porsches as a currently low priced collectable.
This will be another demand pressure on prices.
Hang on ~fyou can!
In closing, let me remind you that when you
patronize our advertisers please mention the 356

rust
pete schroeder
Rusting Porsches are always a tragic signt.
Surface rust is unsightly but structural rust eats
out the heart of your car and will eventually kill it.
The most vulnerable part of an old 356 is
underneath the front of the car. The braces and
panels under there define the position of the front
torsion bar housing tubes which locate and keep
the suspension in proper position. If these
members become severely rusted they could
easily become distorted, putting the front
suspension out of alignment. There are even
horror stories of suspension completely collapsing. i know of one shop in the area that will
even refuse to road t e s t a car if it gets bad up
there. The accompanying diagram shows the
location of the critical parts of the 356 in the front
end. Thearrows show where you areapt to find the
most rust. Rusted out battery boxes and floor
pans are very common in older cars. This
condition is relatively easy to handle from the top
of the car. Hat panels can be welded or brazed in
place from the inside. Don't neglect these areas
because much of the rigidity of the body depends
on the stability of these thin walled box sections.
The important areas are underneath your car.
Here's the way t o goabout finding the rust on your
car. Jack up the front of the car and crawl under
and start poking around with an ail purpose rust
detector. My favorite is a small screwdriver. Most
chassis members and panels are firm. Some are
even still covered with undercoating. They give a
nice solid thunk when struck vigorously. But
beware of the crunch, a sure sign of cancerous
rust. don't be timid. Dig around and watch gaping
holes appear as the flakes of "what used to be"
come tumbling out. This is a sure sign of a bad
case. This kind of rust is a nasty because it is so
INDEX

hard to deal with, Bspecially in the nooks and
crevices - those out of the way places. Water lies
in there, gets trapped behind undercoating and
rots your car away. Some replacement pieces are
still available through Porsche-Audi, but fabricating your own from 20-24 guage sheet metal
steel is quite adequate. The only rememdy is to
dig out the flakey rust and then cut back the area
t o firm strong panel or brace. The new pieces must
then be welded or brazed in to regain the strength
of the original section. Welding underneath is a
particularly unpleasant job. Undercoating is a
tarlike substance which liquifies and burns at
anything approaching welding temperatures.
While burning it gives off thick clouds of acrid,
choking smoke. Welding in cramped quarters
underneath is the most unpleasant job I've ever
done on my car. In fact, it is so unpleasant that it
is difficult to find a commercial shop willing t o do
it. Nevertheless you must get this done if you want
t o have any chance of saving your beloved car.
It was love at first smell. How else t o describe
what I felt as I sat there spellbound by the aroma
of oil and rubber, wool and (what I took to be)
leather. Further inspection revealed that the car
had obviously known love. After checking the gas
and oil and topping up the brake fluid, I was off for
an awakening motoring experience. What most
impressed me was the way the car went about its
work. I drove for several hours through the Fox
River Valley on that brilliantly sunny spring
afternoon with each mile adding to my conviction
that i must have the car.
So what if it ran on 3cylindersand the brakes were
bad; it had 4 new Semperits and gorgeous chrome
wheels. So the kingpins were worn and the tach
didn't work; the interior was original, unripped and
spotless. An earnest money deposit, a few days of
convincing my wife ("it's like putting money in the
bank, honey!"), an unforgettable financing ordeal
that left me raped and bleeding on the doorsteps
of The Friendly Usurer Finance Company-and she
was mine.
Assuming that the new pieces are welded in the
next step is most important. Stop the new rust.
You do this by followirig the same procedure I
outlined a couple of months ago for surface rust.
Generally, cosmetics don't account for much
underneath where parts are not readily visible. So
feel free to slosh on the rustoleum paint. If you
can get the surfaces really clean try an epoxy
paint. That stuff is impervious to water, road
chemicals, and damn near anything. I've tried it
and have been very pleased.
Sure there have been heartaches. The maintenance
is never ending. But, believe me, it is a labor of
love amply repaid in the sense of closeness I feel
with the machine.
Something that I have yet to determine is why the
car has such appeal for women and children. Of
course I enjoy the attention of the foxy young
ladies who just can't get over the "dynamite old
Porsche", but best of all is the rapt wonder of the
kids. Rubbing the oddly curvaceous flanks of the
Goose, they are like city kids touching a horse for
the first time. Since buying the Porsche, I've also
acquired an Alfa GTV. The Alfa is quicker, quieter
and quite exciting in its own high-strung way. But
if, as they say, todrivean Alfa is to drive a legend,
I know that t o drive an 'A' Coupe is to drive a work
of art. Perhaps this is understood on a gut level by
those women and kids who haven't the slightest
interest in cars as cars but who are fascinated by
the 'A'.

SNOW GOOSE, Colonel Rogers, Ill,Chicago
Two and a half yearsago I was rather halfheartedly
looking for a good 911 of 66-67 vintage. Something
to replace my faithful but familiar 66 Volvo 122-S.
A promising ad lured me out to Elgin, Illinois
where a now defunct Alfa dealer had a couple of
911's and a 356 C. As I was about t o leave, having
decided that ail were too soft around the edges for
the prices he was asking, he told me he had a
"classic" Porsche if i cared to see it. With growing
curiosity I followed him out of the lot, through his
showroom and into a curtained inner sanctum at
the rear of the building. There she set--a beautiful
356 A Coupe protected from the elements and

Route 356 is only 19 miles long, but it offers the
Porsche driver an exciting driving experience
through a curvey mountain road into Helen,
Georgia which is a Bavarian styled village copied
after many of the small towns of Porsche's
homeland of Germany. If you can use your
imagination a little, it makes you feel like you have
just left Stuttgart after picking up your brand new
356 SC, and you with your best girl are driving into
the mountains of Bavaria for a nostalgic holiday.

Interested in interaction of 356 REGISTRY
MEMBERS? Here's what some of our members did
in the Northeast to promote it on a local level:
"Here's how two recent Swap Meets in the
Northeast were originated, publicized and the
results. Organizing a swap meet turned out to be
as difficult as asking friends over for a beer!
Simply decide when & where ...and add a touch of
publicity. The most difficult ordeal is cleaning and
polishing those precious 356 goodies that you're
willing t o part with.
The meet was decided upon one Friday afternoon
while shoo talkina with Joe Rvba and Charles Re.
Exactly what h a i t o be done seemed (and was)
uncomplicated. Our primary concern was the
unpredictability of late autumn weather ...the
sooner the safer! The 'when' would be nine days
away, Sunday, Nov. 2nd with a rain date for the
9th. After considering and rejecting several sites,
such as State Parks, it was agreed that a large
shopping center would be ideal. Since the stores
would be closed on Sunday, using a portion of the
deserted parking area would inconvenience no
one. The 'where' would be the Cross County
Shopping Plaza in Yonkers, N.Y ...acres of smooth
blacktop parking with easy access to major
interstate thruways.
Charles had an announcement of the meet placed
in The New York Times racing and sports car
events section of that Sunday's edition. An 8% x
11 flyer was quickly prepared, 90 copies Xeroxed,
folded letter style, stapled, addressed, stamped
and into the post office. 75 copies went to
REGISTRY members in the four state area of New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts; the remainder went to Porsche dealers
and foreign auto parts stores ...total cost, $15.00!
After a week of dismal rain, that Sunday dawned
clear a n d mild. Even though the weather was
promising, I'll admit to a great deal of
apprehension as I turned off the thruway into the
Shopping plaza! What a beautiful sight!; a
congested aray of lovely 356 Porsches--all colors
All afternoon new 356's would zoom into the area,
and whileall eyesappraised it, slowly parade once
around the perimeter o f the meet before selecting
a parking place. Some interested strangers
showed up too. A few 911's pulled in, most
proclaiming that his real pride and joy was a 356
restoration project in his garage! Every now and
then an envious Triumph or MGB would prowl
around our flanks. Oblivious to the outside
attention, the enthusiasts were busy bargaining
and chatting and pouring through parts. A lot of
restoration information was exchanged-tips on
repair sources, etc. Amidst all this was Bill
Durland, talking up the REGISTRY and passing
out applications to non-members. One 356 A
owner removed his nerf bars, cheerfully gave them
away on the spot, and bolted on a ding-free set of
newly acquired bumpers. Another was seen
fondling a ratty pair of Speedster seats and trying
to figure out how to stuff them in his Cabriolet for
the ride home!
The meet was such a success that it was decided
to do it again on the 16th (two weeks away) with a
rain date for the 23rd. This time 400 flyers were
off-set printed and mailed not only t o REGISTRY
members but also to PCA members of Northern
New Jersey, Connecticut Valley and Metro New
York. (Joe received these mailing lists from PCA
chapter presidents.) The weather turned out to be
not as mild as for the previous meet but we still
had a gratifying turnout anyway. The stellar
attractions were still the 356's, especially Joe's
newly purchased red Spyder, but a great many 900
types showed up also.
INDEX
[Ed's note: Carl is forwarding the basic artwork for
the flyer to m e for the use o f anyone who wishes to
initiate such a meet.]
Several semi professional parts dealers were
attracted this time ...one even drove up from
Maryland with avan stuffed full of exceptional 356
goodies. Many more cars were for sale this time;
the bidding became frantic for a nice Speedster
driven down from Vermont.
TO recap our experience and as a guide to those
wishing to initiate a swap and show meet, here's
what we learned: (1) Inviting PCA members
insures a greater turnout. It also uncovers those
356 owners that are not REGISTRY members.
Request mailing lists from local PCA chapters.
Make sure that your datedoesn't conflict with their
activities. (2) Select a Sunday at least two weeks
in advance of the mailing of flyers ...and stipulate
an alternate rain-date. (3) Select a convenient
shopping center parking lot where no stores are
open on Sunday. You should inquire about
receiving permission for its use. (Even though
you're orderly and intend to leave no mess, prior
permission could avert embarrasment if not total
disaster!) (4) Clean parts sell faster than dirty
nfferings. (5) Flyers should go to foreign auto
parts stores, requesting that they display it. (6)
Quick off-set printing is available almost
universally; the price and quality are better than
Xeroxing in quantities of at least 100. (7) Try the
local news media for a "human interest" publicity
story. (8) Try your local Porsche dealer to
co-sponsor the event. They may show up because
of the 900 crowd. It's worth a try. In any case,
you'll discover that the 356 will be the center of
attraction." Carl Berry, Bethel, Connecticut

sharply (kinks), throw it away. The center line is a
little too long, but there is room up front to arch it
out of the way. Tape both ends of the center line
before inserting it from the rear.
Other sources of lines are American auto
parts stores. Most of them here i n Massachusetts
now carry metric lines. Ask for 3/16 inch metricthreaded lines. Bundy-flex is a common brand.
The Bundy-flex lines with blue-green fittings fit
fine, but the ones with maroonish-brown fittings
are too loose. Be careful. Different brands may
have different colors. Bring in a wheel cylinder or
rubberhose and check the fit.. The American lines
come in different lengths than VW such as 6",I T ,
20", 3 0 , 3 6 , 60" and maybe others. Different
lengths can be joined with a fitting called a
UNION. I have bought the rubber lines under a
BENDIX listing. They turned out to be Schaeffer or
ATE German lines and cost $6 each. Some mail
order catalogs ask $14.50 for the same thing! If
some of you are so far out that you can't find any
of these, drop me a note.
REPLACING BRAKE LlNES

If your Zenith carbs are leaKing at the top, a
little bit of the new Permatex Form-a-Gasket
works nicely. (Don't use just any of the available
silicone sealants, most of them swell up in
contact with gasoline. Just ask me-- Vic.)
Paul also mentions that Hell-coil has inserts
available for the carburetor body in case the top
hold-down screws have been stripped out.
From DER SPRECHER, Central Pa. PCA regional

1958-65 A, B, C replacement tail light

Last week I replaced ALL the brakes lines in
my 1956 Speedster for about $34. 1 bought the
lines at a local store that specializes in VW parts.
This store is not one of the nationally advertised
foreign auto parts stores that has high prices. All
the lines I bought are VW lines, and I asked for
them by LENGTH. I measured all the original
lines, and bought the closest size which was
larger. Lines too long can be bent out of the way,
but short lines cannot be stretched! Some of the
numbers on the invoice were illegible, but you can
tell what to buy from their lengths.

reviews
by Rick Foster
Hey, doesn't this 356 REGISTRY just keep
getting better and better? The "anniversary" issue
was just great and if Jerry Keyser can continue to
round up volunteers, this club can really go
places.
Well let's see, nobody seemed to mind too
much when I reviewed a VW shop manual in this
column, so maybe this time I'll get away with
reviewing a Porsche Club of America publication.
The matter of rival clubs aside (and I hope that's
not really a concern for anyone) this is a fine
source of information concerning the 356 series
Porsche. The book is called Up-Fixin der Porsche
and there are three volumes available. Each one is
a collection of technical articles that originally
appeared in Porsche Panorama, the PCA's
monthly magazine. Volume I covers such articles
as published from 1956 through 1960, Volume II
hits 1961 through 1966, and Volume Ill compiles
the 1967 through 1972 articies. Within each
volume, all contemporary and previous models
receive some attention, although the newer cars
are treated most thoroughly. Thusvolume Ill has a
number of useful articles on various 356 models,
even though the 911/912/914 series receives the
most coverage. You can order them from Bill
McHenry, Chesapeake Region PCA, 11 Hickory
Meadows Road, Cockeysville, Maryland 21030 for
$4.00 each. I'm told that you do not have to be a
PCA member to order.
Now that you know h o w to get these books,
let's see if you actually want them. The articles
deal mainly with maintenance and modification of
contemporary models. Some repair work is also
covered, but the main assumption is that you have
a Porsche in good working orderto begin with. For
example, while the articles will offer excellent
techniques for rust prevention, they don't go into
the difficulties of restoring rusted bodywork.
However, these articles offer more in the way of
inside tips and learned-it-the-hard-way knowledge
than any other source that I know of. A few
examples chosen at random will give you a feel for
the nature of the articles: Tuning the Porsche,
Decambering the Rear Wheels, A Clutch Cable
Repair. Windshield Wipers and Motors, VWPorsche Interchangeable Parts, Auxilliary Instrument Installation (oil pressure and ammeter),
Rare-Earth Oil Filtration F o r t h e Porsche (I wonder
what ever happened to that?), Replacing Worn
,,
Valve Guides, Better Lubrication Of Kingpins
Without Extra Fittings, Personalizing a Super 90
Throttle Idle-Arm Fix, etc, etC, etc. Believe me,
there i s more neat information in these books than
anyone in their right mind would want to know!
The articies in each volume are grouped into
sections covering major topics such as the engine,
transmission, body, and electrical system.
I haven't begun t o describe the contents
completely, nor would I ever be able to, given the
extensiveamount of material. Suffice it to say that
for all the obscure details and tricks (like how to
get into your trunk or engine compartment after
the cable has snapped) the Up-Fixin der Porsche
Series is hard to beat. if you're unsure which
volume to get, order all three and err on the safe
side!
The other review in this issue was suggested
(among several others) by loyal member John
Carapiet of San Francisco. H e mentioned Volume
9 Number 2 of Automobile Quarterly, which is a
special issue dedicated to Porsches. This issue
contains a biography of Herr Professor Doktor
lngenieur Ferdinand Porsche and several articles
o n the cars bearing h i s name. Most of the
emphasis is on the Porsche racing cars and their
competition history, but the production models
are also treated, including a beautiful color picture
of each model from the 356 t o the 914. Of special
note is the portfolio of paintings of competition
Porsches in action by Walter Gotschke - they're
just beautiful and I wish i could get full-sizs prints
of a couple of them. Lo and behold, some of them
apparently were available as prints, including my
favorite painting of Von Trips sliding his Porsche
RS "Berg" (hillclimb model) around a turn. I'll
check into the current availability of these prints
and report back. The Porsche articles all make
interesting reading and there are other sections as
well. including one on the Mercedes 540K. I can
recommend this issue to any 356 enthusiast, and
especially to those who are keen on Porsche's
involvment in competition. It can be obtained from
Automobile Quarterly, 245 West Main Street,
Kutztown, Pennsylvania19530 for$7.95.
John Carapiet also mentioned an intriguing
sounding book titled Porsche: The First Decade
which he describes as an in-depth presentation on
the 356 and 550 Porsches (1949-1959). Unfortunately, his source reference (Blutman's in San
Francisco) seems t o have disappeared. If any of
YOU members out there know of a current address
on Blutman's, oranother source for this book, I'd
appreciate the information. i would also welcome
references and suggestions concerning other
