Porsche 356 Outlaw Love

We’ve had a bit of a thing about Porsche 356 ‘Outlaws’these last few weeks.

Some would say that the entire idea of rodding and modding a vintage Porsche 356, despite the undeniable badness of many a result, is some kind of automotive sacrilege.

But we love the edgy kind of blasphemy that drops and cleans a factory classic.

Ask Emory, an Oregon workshop with a long history of modifying 356s with a particular sort of streetish panache, and they’ll claim that they coined the phrase ‘Outlaw’ way back in the 1980s – when the concourse obsessive compulsive scene was at a height of anal retentiveness.

Now, these outriders at the edge of respectable mod culture have been brought into the fold, and have become an accepted Porsche subgenre.

There’s still an edge to the look, though. Especially if you put a heavily inked woman at the wheel.

    agree totally,porsche are designed to be driven,unlike others of the ilk.will work in snow,i can personally attest to this.go just as well when dirty.i keep my turbo dirty most of the time.when i fully valet it,its like a present to yourself.the outlaw spirit dictates you can do what you want to your own car.despite convention.would love to see a more modern version of this ethos.the vw community does it and therefore a porsche will naturaly follow.however i wont be the first
