We typically expect to see a massive mix of American prewar hot rods, custom cruisers, and vintage Detroit muscle at the annual Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals in Columbus, Ohio—so we dang-near fell over when we spotted this stunning Porsche nestled between all the Chevys, Fords, and Mopars at the 2024 show.

Yup, we already loved the look of this 356B as we drew-in for a closer peek but, when we did, we realized it was way more than a meticulous restoration. Indeed, we discovered a myriad of subtle, elegant modifications to the iconic design from Zuffenhausen.

Needless to say, we had to track down the owner for a tour of the car.

From its authentic semaphore signals to an engine bay reminiscent of the iconic Porsche 917 race cars, discover what we found out in this in-depth interview and walkthrough.
