1958 PORSCHE 356 A ‘GOLDE’ SUNROOF / OUTLAW COUPE
The term ‘Outlaw’ has been given to modified Porsche 356 models and dates back, as far as we understand, to the mid 1950’s when the legendary George Barris “Barris Kustom Industries” shop in Los Angeles started personalizing and modifying customer 356’s. The purists were somewhat horrified at the idea, and maybe some still are, but over time the Outlaw versions have gained their own following and a cult status.

This is one such example; the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity (PoA) confirms that vin # 104257 was a 1958 356A/1600 Reutter Coupe completed on July 18, 1958 and dispatched with (ultra-rare) ‘Golde’ Sunroof, Sealed Beam Headlights and USA Bumpers.

Although we do not have the early history, in 1989 the 356 was acquired by George Bryan of Springfield, Virginia, a well-respected and long term owner of multiple 356’s who recalls it fondly and who built this one in the early nineties into an Outlaw having purchased it from a Mr. Brad Urmston of New Jersey. As he recently told us, 104257 was an extremely straight and sound ‘Golde’ manual sunroof coupe; the conversion by him took some 300 to 350 hours of effort and included fitting a hotter Porsche 912 engine, as still fitted now, together with BBAB (Speedster) gear ratios for the gearbox and also fitting disc brakes from a 1964/5 356 C with dual master cylinders. For the interior he fitted reclining racing seats, GT door trim, Plexi rear side windows etc and a GT fuel tank. When it was finished it was awarded the Outlaw Badge by Gary Emory which was a quite superb achievement and the car still sports a window sticker as testimony. He later sold the car to Michael Branning, trustee and currently President of the Porsche 356 Registry.

Since then and under later ownership with Andrew Carduner the car went to Rod Emory’s shop for a refresh (Rod Emory Motorsports are rightly regarded as the Outlaw specialists) circa 1999/2000 and which included, according to an email exchange on file (dated 6/9/2016) with Mr. Emory himself – pulling the engine and fixing a few leaks, running it in the dyno, adding an alternator and then reinstalling all. Also adding a M&K stainless exhaust and redoing the fuel tank. Cosmetically Emory also added the GT fender mirrors, repainted the wheels, added fog lights while for the interior he redid it all with customer-supplied leather, changed out the steering wheel, added the rear luggage straps and added some Coco floor mats over rubber tunnel material and which have subsequently been changed out for the current floor carpeting. In 2012 it had a full repaint at Emory Motorsports.

The condition today is quite lovely; deep black paintwork which is complemented by the cabin trimmed with fabulous dark tan ‘baseball mitt’ leather seats, dash padding and door trim, the whole ensemble set off with a wood rimmed steering wheel and pair of TAG Heuer rally stopwatches mounted on the passenger side of the black painted dash.

The hunkered down look is completely Outlaw, with neat touches such as the chrome headlight grilles, front fog lights, aforementioned black fender mirrors and an extra touch including the pair of period rally badges on the single rear deck lid: a 1958 Nürburgring DKWV Pfingst Rallye and 1958 ADAC / Automobil-Club Maikammer Weinrallye badge. The car sits on steel 5½J wheels all shod with Pirelli P6000 195/60R 15 speed rated 88H tires.

In 2001 the car was featured in the October issue of Grassroots Motorsports magazine.

The Outlaw has huge eyeball appeal wherever it has been, often eclipsing rather grander cars that it might be standing next to!

The 356 was the dreamchild of Ferdinand Porsche, who believed that mating a generously powered engine to a diminutively deft body would produce the ultimate “fun” driver. The lightweight rear-wheel-drive, rear-engine sports car was first built in 1948 in Gmünd, Austria. By 1950 the aluminum body was replaced by a Reutter-built steel-shell and production was moved to Zuffenhausen, Germany. The following year the 356 won its first Le Mans, earning the Porsche icon an exalted reputation both on the street and the circuit. Riding the wave of the model’s initial popularity, the ‘B’ series was launched in 1959 and almost 31,000 356 B sports cars were built, before production moved to the ‘C’ series in 1963. 

As verified by a copy of the original Porsche Kardex, chassis 125060 left the Porsche factory on 11 July 1963 and remains a matching-numbers restored car, which has been lovingly driven and meticulously maintained by Gaswerks Garage. This car was ordered with the rare electric sunroof, Becker radio with speakers, and leather seats with headrests and seat belts. It also sports a deluxe horn ring and a tinted windshield.  The vehicle was fully restored mechanically and cosmetically 4 years ago and is still in exceptional condition.  Both the engine and gear box were overhauled as well as the suspension brakes and under carriage. 

Our 356B is in excellent running condition. This example is turn-key ready. This has always been a non-smoker. Chassis no. 125060 presents with incredibly original aesthetics and the prestigious 356 pedigree. For more information contact Gaswerks Garage.

Gaswerks Garage is pleased to present our 1962 Porsche 356B Super 90 Karmann Notchback Hardtop T6. The notchbacks actually started out from the factory as cabriolets. The first built 1961 Karmann notchback T5’s were Reutter cabriolets that had hard tops welded on permanently. These were the very first Porsche’s built by Karmann, but were not badged on the right side fender until the T6 models. The unique “Karmann hardtop” or “notchback” 356 B model was produced in 1961 and 1962. The 1961 production run was essentially a cabriolet body with the optional steel cabriolet hardtop welded in place. The 1962 line (T6 production) was a very different design in that the new T6 notchback coupé body did not start life as a cabriolet, but with its own production design—In essence, part cabriolet rear end design, part T6 coupe windshield frame, unique hard top. Both years of these unique cars have taken the name “Karmann Notchback”. Of this series only 55 cars are still believed to exist. We are proud to offer this excellent condition very rare and highly collectible Porsche. Per its certificate of authenticity, this car was completed on October 31, 1961 and is finished in its original colors of Ivory # 6204 with Black Leatherette interior. This Super 90 Karmann Notchback is one of the rarer and most collectible of the 356 model cars, being just one of 687 cars produced in its only year of production.

Check out this 1961 Porsche 356 Notchback Outlaw by Emory Motorsports. This was Rod Emory’s personal race car for several years, in which Rod set several track records. According to Rod, this was the most aerodynamic 356 that he has driven and was one of his favorite builds.

It is currently set up as a track/street car with an emphasis on track. It can easily be converted to a more street friendly car if so desired. It is road legal and comes with a title. The car was built by Emory in 2004. At the time, it was a no expense spared build. It remains today a competitive Vintage car that is a front runner, reliable and easy to drive.

The engine is a 1620cc Porsche engine built by Rothsport of Portland, OR. It features an NOS case, Scott Billet crankshaft, Carillo Rods, Elgin full race cam, Escure pistons and heads with a 12:1 compression ratio, Solex 40P11 Carbs, 180mm lightened flywheel with Kennedy clutch, a fresh top end with new rings and a competitive valve job.

The “Type 356” was the first sports car to bear the Porsche name on it. Ferry Porsche designed and produced Project 356 to be a lightweight car with an engine that produced enough horsepower to be a fun car to drive. The 356A (c.1955) started existence with a 1.3-liter engine and 50 horsepower. Throughout its first decade of production until 1965, the 356 came with a variety of engines up to 2.0-liter and in race versions the coveted 4-cam engines which Porsche felt should not be sold to the public due to their complexity. The 356 for the most part had four distinct build variations the Pre-356A (1948-1955), 356A (1955-1959), 356B (1959-1963) and finally the 356C (1963-1965). The 356 build variants included a coupe, cabriolet, notchback and speedster, all of which had variants within each model from mild to wild.

Our 1960 Porsche 356 Roadster Chassis #88716 was built by long time Porsche enthusiast and racer Peter Callaghan. Callaghan had a long history of racing Porsche cars in the 1960’s and 70’s from 356 and 914 E-Production to 911 B-Production cars. According to the CoA the car was originally Ruby Red (6002) with light grey leatherette, but as with all of Callaghan’s Red Dog race cars it was quickly painted dark blue. Chassis #88716 was raced in the SCCA E Production class at great venues like Lime Rock Park, Bryar National, Pocono, Thompson, Bridge Hampton, Nelson Ledges, Summit Point and Road Atlanta. Callahan set this car up to be his after the race car to have around the race tracks. This car has a high performance flat 4 cylinder Porsche air cooled engine, a 4 speed manual gearbox, roll hoop and Penske Racing Shocks. Chassis #88716 also has a very unique transmission configuration of 1st 3.09:1, 2nd 1.93, 3rd 1.35, and 4th 1.04. This gearbox configuration was only in Porsche 356 GS/GT cars, an interesting choice by Callaghan. The Roadster lives up to its name providing a whole lot of open air fun, quick acceleration and extremely racecar like handling. The Chassis # states this car is a Roadster built in 1960. This 356 provides the visceral drive we all crave from grassroots motorsports based cars.
