1965 Porsche

[msrecca]

Irish green rather than hunter was I think the factory designation.

It looks a nice stock SC cabriolet even without seeing the back of the car. They just don't look as good top-up as they do top-down in my opinion. mrsecca is correct about the color being Irish Green. A significant number of these cars are coming to market now with people attempting to raise cash for the hard times they are experiencing.

The only "Italian" elements to my mind in the styling are the front air ducts and the body's slight sweep away from the center nose. Those elements only are mildly/vaguely reminiscent of the period Alfa Romeos for me. The 356 Porsche is otherwise rather bulbous and heavy in its appearance when compared with contemporary Italian cars.

The blue coupe in limping_decorum's post is an early T-2 body (Pre A) circa 1955.

Agreed...there's just something about the Coupes. I believe the #80 car pictured is an Outlaw 356 pre-A from Emory Motorsports in Oregon. Site's down today for maintenance, but check out their other restorations. They race these things all over the west. I just lost an auction for a late-model autocrosser with a nice 1750cc motor. When properly built, these old girls can move. Just listen to this one.... UPDATE: It is indeed a 1953 coupe from Emory [more photos].

Just a few more pics for this thread. The "bathtub" Speedster is one of my all-time favorite cars. This is a 1955:
