    A good comparison to better understand how all the old 356 guys ended up with several cars, many of which sat for decades is to look at the modern version of the 356, it terms of value, the 914. 914's are cheap, especially project/parts ones. So the guy who has 1 914, in a couple of years ends up with 3-4 of them. Either from scanning craigslist or gifts from people, they just accumulate. That's how it was back in the day with 356's, a few hundred dollars here and a case of beer there, and you looked up and you had 3 356's. I recently bought 2 cars from an estate, the cars I bought were a 59 A Coupe and a 63 Super 90 B coupe, both had been parked under a carport for decades, the A I know was driven under the carport in 1969. Why did they just sit? Well, the guy did restore a twin grill Roadster, a 55 Speedster, and a Pantera, he just hadn't gotten to the other two yet, but they were on the list. He probably bought them for peanuts in the late 60's/early 70's.
    Or another time a guy had a Roadster that he bought at a garage sale one street away from his house for $1000, drove it home on three cylinders, put it in a shipping container, and forgot about it, until I showed up.
    Back when they were cheap no one thought about it, it's only now that guys like me show up and say how much the car is worth that they ever think of selling it. The trick it to make sure to say the value in front of the wife, because when you are talking Speedster money, wife's always want an RV or something.
