Normal engine.

The engine was rebuilt by Harry Pellow, aka “The Maestro” in the late 1980s and runs strong with roughly 30,000
miles on the rebuild. If you’re not familiar with the “Maestro”, he passed in 2003 but wrote several books on 356
engines and to this day is still considered one of the best pushrod 356 engine builders ever. His books are a
must-read for any 356 owner!
In 2011 we installed disc brakes (Zims conversion) on the front. However, a set of front drums is included, which I
would recommend re-installing. In 2015, a new gas tank was installed and the Dellorto carbs were rebuilt. As the
video shows, the tach doesn’t work. The car makes a nice appearance from afar, but has blemishes up close.
Originally red, it was painted silver in the 1990s and the paint is cracking in some areas. Also, the rear deck lid
was replaced but I have the original. (The deck was replaced after the car suffered a carburetor fire with the
prior owner in the late 1990s, which peeled the paint on the decklid. Additionally, the Weber carbs were replaced
with Dellortos.)
The pans and longitudinals are solid. The battery box was repaired using non-factory stamped sheet metal. The
wheels have pits on the chrome and the tires are old.A luggage rack is included along with an original steering
wheel, should you decide to swap out the Nardi.
