Bill Doyle 356 C Coupe

#1 Post by Terry Worick »

It is my great pleasure to announce I that I have been given the honor of completing the restoration of a 1965 356 C Coupe that belonged to the late Bill Doyle. Bill Was a a highly regarded Carrera 4 Cam mechanic and great gentleman for which many of you need no introduction. I consider it a great honor to get to work on this project. I remember reading of Bill Doyle in magazines as I learned about Porsche cars. I was thinking how cool it was that he was in Wyoming and people sent him engines from all over the world. Being in Nebraska just a short distance to Wyoming for me.

The car is a Silver 1965 356 C, originally yellow, but Bill chose silver. It is going to be a very beautiful car. The car was undergoing a complete restoration in California and was not finished at the time of Bill’s passing. The body work and paint were completed some where in California. The quality of the work is very high. It has a complete new black leather interior with work being preformed by Autos International. Some of the assembly work has been done, but there is much to do.

I am going to share the completion of the car with the 356 Community. I will be posting progress and phots as we move along. It is important to me to do the best work possible in honor of Bill’s great legacy.

I am undertaking this project with Mr. Kuzu of Four Cam Cooling.
