I recently purchased my first 356, a 1964C coupe. The serial numbers for the engine case, body, and transmission all match the COA but the carbs are Solex's rather than Zeniths. A week or so after I got the car, I received a slim but interesting bunch of miscellaneous receipts which included the fact that inside the engine case is a 1999 full Shasta rebuild. Although a bit hard to start, the engine runs great. The rest of the car appears to be stock. So, am I an OUTLAW or merely a SCOFFLAW?

NAH, you look stock. So at least remove the hood handle, then you can be an outlaw.

Re: Outlaw qualification query
I think that all you need to do to become an outlaw is to re-stamp the serial numbers on your case. Instant qualification.

Re: Outlaw qualification query
OK. Hood handle is gone. Engine case ground & restamped (by PO). Stack of Goodguys mags in the garage. What's next?
