You are an inspiration. Love both your channels, stay blessed!

Love seeing you build on your collection, congrats.

Good job Ross, brings me joy watching you pursue hobbies from great trading skills, your cars are badass!

quite an awesome find - and loved the progression of verification - you've got a keeper there.

Great episode. What a great find. Can’t wait to see and hear it running

Ross, you look so happy and jovial talking about that car, glad to see you found a hobby that you really enjoy. Best of Luck.

Thanks for the great informative video, awesomeness! I love these 1950s Porsche ❤️

Thanx for the exellent story of this beauty! looking forward for the next episode. Congrats with this icon on wheels, greetings from the Netherlands;-)

That’s an amazing find Ross. That’s a gorgeous car. Once it’s restored it’s going to look beautiful

Wow, when that blue gets cleaned up it's going to look amazing. I have a feeling you won't be able to sell that beauty.

Dude! Very cool. Awesome that it was being built the same time Matty’s was. Stuff happens for a reason.

Wow, what a gem. I love speedsters! Especially with a hardtop.

Amazing car Man! congrats on the new wheels!

Now i know it's not a speedster but i found this little Gem, parked for 37yrs. Last registered in 1986. 1973 Karmann Ghia. Her name is Little Bee and she came home with me.

Congrats on the awesome find!

Wanting to get a 1960 coupe 365, I was born that year! just started learning a little about them, like the look! Thanks for the great video, I learned a lot!

Great video Ross, I learned a lot. I like that Porche and the repaint isn't bad at all. Because of the rarity of these cars, you'll find that the market for these cars is pretty incredible and that is what I love about it.

Nice, good find!

Great story, congrats on the car. Putting together a nice collection of cars.

CONGRATS Boss!

Designed only on a piece of paper. Thats whats making old cars so special.

Nice find. Be interesting to see it once its out on the road again.

Cardex is not bill of sale, but the Porsche build sheet. Pre-a's did have deluxe bumpers, optional, called American bumpers. I worked for Porsche factory and a dealership in Germany 64 - 67. Dealership 's in the U.S. for 20 + years. Owned 7 speedster's + 44 other 356's. My 56 speedster bought in 1970 from original owner with factory hardtop $500.00. Good luck with yours.

Ross- watching you do what you do in real time is like being there to watch Tyson in the 80’s, Ruth in the early 1900’s, Montana in his prime- - I really think history will be kind to you

Congrats on the find, great job on the video.

nice whip Ross... my brother has a red one restored... for weekend cruising...

One of my favs. You see it in old movies.

Salient points, one & all. Just now subbed. One day I'll have my 356. 'Nuff said...

ROSS you unveil a new cool car every episode of TK lol crazy awesome

I found you researching day trading then saw you bought a 1955 pre a 356 speedster... damn man, you are living the dream!

Now that is a classic!!! It deserves to have their own series within your channel... we want all the details ... videos getting this car to showroom ready status !!!!

I love your passion for the Porsche brand and for these historical cars. I feel like vehicles in the past (pre-1980) have way more of a story than any of these new vehicles. I also feel like their designers tried very hard (and probably were very proud of) to be different. Beautiful car, btw! Great find!

NICE NEW ADDITION!!!

Another great Tire kickers episode Ross! 🔥🔥🔥 it was very informative! I Can’t believe they wanted to sell you that car for over 400K! 😳 I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product once it’s fully restored! Please Keep these Tire kicker episodes coming! See ya in the small caps trading room Ross! 😊

Congrats. I remember when Seinfeld bought his unrestored 356A 1600 from Gooding & Company for a huge price in 2015. Chassis 84313, $583,000USD. It was a bat signal that unrestored cars were on the rise.

Barn finds are the best!

Sweet! 🤘🏾

The 356 speedster is one of my favorite Porsche of all times, along with the 550 RS, amazing machines. I was a kid when I saw them running in the Mille Miglia for the first time, sometimes at quite high speed. Great cars indeed.

I have a Boxter S 718, i need to improve my momentum strategy and then I race you Ross :) thanks for sharing

Fun video, love your detective work and excitement. I just bought a 356 roadster that had been off the road for 23 years and am really enjoying it. All numbers matching the kardex and my heart even skipped a beat when I looked at the "service booklet serial number" on the kardex and even that matched. PS. I doubt it's been sitting in a barn since new (according to your description of the video) especially if it was repainted and has 47k miles....unless those miles were all added the first year??)

Classy man 🚘

Interesting. About 10 or 12 years ago I saw a speedster for sale at the vintage races at road america. It was in very similar condition to that black one. In fact it was black too. They were offering it at the astronomical sum of 75,000 in that condition. Amazing what just a few years difference makes.

I like how you have the TI scanner still running in the background... the mkt never sleeps Ross!!! lol

Nice find the originality worth it. But as someone who owned a bodyshop for 11 years before joining warrior trading when you look for a driver much cheaper and efficient to buy ready to go than get the work done. Enjoy and keep us updated on the projects - get some pics on progress

Looking forward to progress bud, beautiful speedster, sadly I couldn't preserve my 54 (53)coupe as Wisconsin tin worm went to town on it!! 😖It's been a long journey😊keep your speedster! Subbed👍

Great video! Have you done any updated videos on the car? I can’t seem to find them.

Awesome. Had a '63 B Type Coupe. Restored it. Drove it all over Cali for 3 years. Took it in to have some new Pirelli's slapped on and they Friggin crashed it... Ended up selling it for 12k back in '92. Good luck on the resto....

Great video Mr Ross. I adding to my trading goal to make enough to purchase a blue 1969 camaro ss 427 or 396 ci.

Wow lucky you 😮😍

Excellent!

I like the blue color looks good on the car

... agree with all the Patina-stuff totally- yet still would keep these kind of "outlaw-style-rims"- no matter whether they are correct or not ;-) All in all: great car!!!

My dream car right there

This is a great purchase, a great asset to hold and love those numbers matching, it is a great find. I had something similar happen to me not is this high altitude. Mine was 3k for a numbers matching 1968 Firebird 350 H.O. four speed, 3.23 posi, with the VIN's stamped on top off the Muncie transmission as well as on the block, body and Title. They guy did not know what he had sold but when I went to pick it up things got interesting as one of his employees knew what the cars was and told him. And that guy had stole the heads, intake and carb off it so it took me over 6 years to find the right numbers matching parts and now it is almost ready to put together and start up for the first time since the 1980's. I documented the whole deal and I knew the way that employee was acting so after I got the Bird on a trailer and pulled it out into the parking lot I crawled under the car and saw that Muncie and also the Dual exhaust hangers which were original factory so that told me it was something different and it could be special. So then I went straight to a car wash where I popped the hood and started looking deeper and I remember telling myself I got a special Bird. It wasn't until about 4 days or more that I finally got the VIN numbers coded, so then I had to wait for the Title and those numbers needed to match lol. Yes, I still own this jewel though it is not a 300k car the find is what was so exciting as now I have another '68 Bird that I made my custom car with my very own built motor and custom '65 Bonneville front grill, a '68 Camaro Rally sport valance and a few other neat parts and with that grill and nose piece from a '65 Bonneville people freak out on it as the headlights are hidden it is a really cool car. I have been thinking about making it a Madmax style ride lately as it already has 17"BMW rims with 275x 60 rears tires so it sits up nice with a cool rake but I may make it a little more rad into the Madmax theme with side pipes. Love the sound of side pipes and they have that look of just badass to me. Great Deal Ross, super cool to see you hit it and you are right about driving them they are very unique rides, very low to the ground so everything is like a go-cart ride, fast and quick steering, very light cars too, just do not like that fact that they will not smoke the tires lol.

Nice!!

What a great investment, this car could be worth over a million sooner rather than later!

Can't wait, one of my all time favorites!

good way to end the night

Have you had a chance to get a good look at it since you bought it? What's your plan? Just curious. I enjoy being a spectator watching your journey.

I can feel your passion. You have to know what you're chasing and why. If it Makes you feel a certain way, what is that worth? I have been a vw bug guy a long time, gotten out of them, but now find myself looking for one. Happiest sound for me is that little engine cranking over. Congrats on your decision. I'm interested in learning how to to day trading as well if you can steer me in a direction I'd appreciate it very much.

Where do you buy your cars from? How do you find these types of cars to buy?

Love it, but I like the coupe version more

Ross, I enjoyed this video very much...!!!! I got to start liking the porsche cars playing a game I highly recommend you....if you are not in love with this car, you will. It’s an oldie, but find it: need for speed porsche unleashed....!!!!! One more thing, this game literally saved my life...!!!!! I hope one day I can personally tell you the story on one of the inner circle meetings...!!!!!!!

Very cool video and awesome 356 Speedster. Like you I also love the Blue color better than White. The interesting thing with the 55/56 discussion and the bumpers is that ( if I heard correct) your Speedster was produced in september or october in 1955. Normally ( as is with the 911’s) the cars produced at Porsche after the summer holidays are next years models. To make it more confusing, Porsche mixes bodies and parts untill they run out. So it Could be possible you have the pre A body ( check dashboard detail) combineert with the already in stock new T1 bumpers that they where gonna use for the 56 model year ( which they start producing after the summer brake in 1955). Make’s it interesting doesn’t it. Since you have a pre A body you have a pre A car. Built year clearly 1955, model year could be 1956 since it was produced with the new style bumpers and after the summer in 1955. Probably they had pre A bodies left, and at Porsche. They use what they have in stock before omving to the new bits. ( this happend with the first 911’s built in 1964/1965. The details changed on the cars when they run out of old parts, not by changing to a new model year. That Speedster from your friend was produced 100 cars earlier than your’s you mention in the end. Was that stated as a 56 modelyear car? Does he has the same dash as yours? Al fun and interesting things. Regards from the Netherlands. Joost Hermes

Old dust never looked so beautiful!

An unrestored vehicle is worth more, because though you can restore it over and over again, it can only ever be unrestored once. Hence, more rare and historical. Join the 356 Registry.

Hey Ross, what's up with this one? Off with the mechanics?

I hope you drive it more than you talk about it.

High bumpers with the tubing traverse, where made for the US market and have nothing to do with being pre A or A

I was telling my son today how I would like to have a "bathtub" Porsche.

Most have their floors replaced & keep the original 'patina'on top. Interested in your day trading?

Where do you find these old cars

I don't think you'll be able to sell higher on this one, Ross.

That is one sexy Porsche , Check this out the 54-57 jaguar D-type

Perhaps you should look into Jonathan Ward’s Icon Derelicts. ✅

I sawthe black car they had that car for sale a couple years ago asking close to a mill . Patina cars are the rage right now shortly after Seinfeld paid a mil for a rusty speedster. They’ve been dropping ever since then

Depends on who does the restoration..

Just curious. Who owns the rest? As one scrolls and dreams of owning "one" , who holds the key? All California doctors? I've dreamed of owning one.

Pork chop speedster and vx bus found for you for sale. cheap. I have a neighbor selling these i just laid my eyes on them today and theyre right up your alley. The guy paid less than 500 for the vx bus. Im emailing your co hopefully you can reply and ill get u in tough w this gentleman. Good luck Ross Man

Had to believe one could retire from selling a bucket of rust.

Bring it back to live .

RE: the ft. bumper, they were fragile, and if damaged, a prior owner could well have decided to replace it with what was available. At the time, nobody was thinking about preserving a car in "as new" condition, it was just a car to drive and enjoy.

I would look at the car as a Bank Acct that will actually Pay Interest. Same thing in watches ,well Rolexes and and Patek Nautilus and The Royal Oak & Off Shore AP'S

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

I could be wrong but with older cars if they’ve rolled over 100k the first number (4 in your case) would be rolled up a little. Just what I’ve been told. Not 100% sure on it.

👍💪🏻

How/why do these actually show up in barns....

Someone is breaking down a speedster here in Oregon if you need some random parts.

Nice but I would paint it

Maybe ammo nyc needs to clean it up for you

I think they are cool cars, but in my opinion that’s crazy to pay so much money for a car just to be afraid something will happen to it, or to use it once a year. There’s dozens of other beautiful classic cars you can get for just the price of one car 🥶

So…being new at this we talking 100k to restore it …

Trade for 1955 built 23 window vw bus? haha

Hmmm, hard to believe

If $200k was your best day , what was your worst day

Hi. I'm from South Africa and just came apon your channel. I like it very much because you go into detale of what you do. You must do one on trading for the is people that want to scam one. Keep it up

You could have Flipped the Black one and made 30.000 . Just by Relisting it on Bring a Trailer

This was a James dean car

Ross has rich people problems.

That black Speedster was not restored.. it was REPAIRED...
