So, that’s my version of today’s speedster. Sort of a tribute to my old E racer and a lot more solid and undeniably more reliable than any of my three other real steel street (read rust buckets) clunkers I used to own! Of course today, they’d be worth a small fortune, but…
By the way, this speedster won the best outlaw/race category year before last at the Porsche fest in Ventura. It was mistakenly entered as a real 356 by the guy at the entry gate! It also had the distinction of winning the outlaw/race category at the Emory Parts Obsolete Camp-out 2005 and that was a pretty tough crowd!
