The time has finally come for us to sell Frank, our beloved 356 Outlaw that has served us like a champion over the last 8 years.
- It was found in Al Cadrobbi's back yard in the Summer of 1998 and was disassembled by my father, Tony Gerace, in 1999.
- John Espositio took on the project in late 1999 and, after 4 years of part-time reconstructive surgery, finished Frank in 2003.
- My father spent the next year assembling the entire car and it was finished in the Spring of 2004

I cannot say enough good stuff about this car. It is a phenomenal long-distance traveler, a formidable track day weapon and canyon carver, and a spectacular show car. Frank is fast, comfortable, stable, neutral, and dead nuts reliable. This car has NEVER left me stranded and it NEVER fails to perform as intended. The transmission is geared perfectly for a car with this kind of torque, and the motor is an absolute tank. I have seen an indicated 135mph with a full tank of gas, a passenger, and luggage for two for a weekend in Monterey.
Everywhere this car goes it literally stops traffic. It makes adults and kids stop, look, point and smile. Everyone smiles. This car is just that awesome.
And Frank has been great to us over the last 8 years, but now it's time to pass the torch.
Offered to the discerning Porsche enthusiast for a very reasonable $75,000.
There are other Outlaws out there, some are more expensive and others cost less, but few of them have been road tested and lovingly driven to the extent that this one has. Because of that the price reflects the physical imperfections from days at the racetrack and high speed maneuvers.
I am more than happy to answer any and all questions you may have about Frank.
