Some sort of Porsche 356.

 

Best part of it, I've driven by it three times so far today and it appears to be less than perfect/a "driver."

Looks familiar with the fog lamps and Mobilegas stickers on the fenders. But the original owner died many years ago. If it is that car, I wonder who owns it now?

Whoops. Maybe not. This is his car, different fog lamps and center caps.

Hard to tell from the photo but the windshield looks like it might be a pre-A car.

All these guys with their 356's and Spyders with the Mobil pegasus's, stole the idea from me. Lol

It's on a real busy stretch of road I ride every day during my 3 minute drive to the raceway. 

If I see it again and I'm not too busy, maybe I'll stop and get a few good pics.

 

Here's another bad one showing the Targa parked next to it .
