Yes there custom flat fours have more than enough power and give the 356 better handling characteristics 😊

As soon as you read 'outlaw' or 'restomod' it's going to be a quarter of a million or more. These aren't real sports cars, they are just rich man's silly toys.

@@bigblueocean porsche folk have been modding 356s since they went into production. my pov is that the niche segment up-scaling you criticize is a socio-economic / behavioral phenomenon... arguably unfortunate. "real sports cars" has nothing to do w/ that unless market demographic is in the definition ... consider Bugatti & Aston Martin (among many others in sports car history). there's also an argument to be made that "rich man's silly toys" have contributed to the crafting of novel improvements & parts availability for vintage sports cars... not to mention, financial support the many niche segment craftsmen-mechanics who also maintain, repair & restore the sports cars of those of us w/ far less wealth to keep 'em running. {however, it doesn't account for the questionable taste some w/ $$$ can display}

@@grumpy9478 despite the name, these aren't modified cars. They are complete rebuilds often including parts/ running gear from far more recent models. I disagree that this activity has improved the supply of parts for vintage models. The two market segments are quite distinct in that the vintage enthusiast values the preservation of originality, the re use of old manufacturing techniques etc. Where as the so called restomod discards old or original parts and technique in favour of modern substitutes with, in particular reference to engines, a much higher output enabling the owner to indulge self in a frenzy of chest beating. The only real value placed on the vintage is that of styling and relative rarety. The completed car is neither a preserved vintage car or a modern sports car and at home neither on the track or at the classic concourse event. Just a silly rich man's toy.

@@bigblueocean: None of the parts on this car are from Porsche designs in production later than 15 since this chassis was produced in 1959. It isn’t a ‘restomod’ in that respect. Though I suppose that word means many things to many people. Hotrod Porsches are as old as Porsche itself. Remember that Porsche’s very first customers took and modified their cars for purpose racing. ‘Outlaw’ came into use in the 60s at first as an attempt to shame the hotrodders, but has ssince become an accepted label for another way to enjoy a 356. There are upwards of 40,000 356es still on the road. There’s room for pure restorations as historic pieces and complete redesigns keeping whatever originality strikes the owner or builder. Complete stock concours restorations can also cost $250k if someone else does it for you. My own ‘59 Outlaw I’ve had for 25 years cost me a fifth of that even with all the conversions I’ve done. And I’ve hours of joy in the memory book and hours of joy in the garage and on the roads ahead.

@@bigblueocean pretty silly condescension. the 356 universe is in dire need of a pamphlet defining mod, so-called restomod & especially what a vintage enthusiast must value - just regular chest beating, I'm guessing.

Double that. Emory outlaws start at 175 and up.

Ummm, the Karmen Ghia was basically a copy of the 356

well i didnt know that considering both were made way before i was born@@72mardy

yeah me too i was just about to say
