Porsche 356 A Carrera

Hi, i am searching historical race pictures of A Carrera with an sebring exhaust. Can somebody help me? [/b]

I have a picture for you of my Sebring exhaust - The engine is not currently in the car to show you how it looks installed. The ends of the two resonators just stick out past the rear apron of the body. The exhaust sticks out far enough to make it real easy to trip over when you're walking around the back of the car (don't ask me how I know this).

While not a historical pic, this is a pic I took of a Carrera a couple of years ago. I will search to see what else I can come up with.

Hope this helps.

I am assuming this coupe is a carrera due to decklid vents. I cannot see any carrera script on the back. This might be a B though by looking at the bumper....

Not historical, not racing but with a nice tone

Hi Jack-
What are your plans for the Gullwing type vents in the roof?

[Jack Walter]

Those were added by Dean Jeffries after he saw the roof vents in a 300SL Gullwing that was in George Barris' shop being painted while he was working on customizing the Porsche. He liked them and decided to create some for his car. There is a small handmade grill that goes on the interior end of the roof vents and trims off the opening in the custom headliner.

I recently got a copy of the September 1959 issue of Custom Cars magazine that has a six page article showing the steps that Dean Jeffries used to make the scoops - its pretty cool.

They just get a coat of silver paint when the car gets repainted later this summer.

Jack,

What a car! The grille for the rear scoop is amazing. What does the front look like?

Thanks,
Ed
