356 Mentor Wanted - Denver Area

#1 Post by Christopher Carlston »

Hi All,

I'm new to 356 Registry and actively seeking to purchase my first 356. I'm looking for a mentor who can act as a resource as I learn more of what to look for in the numerous 356's out there and their varying degrees of quality and price.

I've already contacted some sellers and will be soon seeing/driving these cars first-hand. Would be good to have an "expert" guide with me.

Please let me know if you are local and interested.

Cheers!

-Chris C.

Chris, under the Resources tab on this website, you can find these articles and more to help you get started building your knowledge base: https://porsche356registry.org/article/245 and https://porsche356registry.org/article/164. The Article Search function is a bit wonky so you may have to just dig around for other info. There are many folks in the group that will be happy to answer your questions too!

Thanks Roger, I live in the Boulder area but would be happy to meet your group for breakfast (perhaps not weekly). :wink:

Cheers!

"... actively seeking to purchase my first 356." Take your time, they're all good looking cars but some need therapy.
