Porsche 356 with a four-seat coupe body by Wendler.
Yessir! And pretty car.
What, when and by whom?
Did you check if it has been posted before...?
not this picture
not the same picture or not the same car?
Some variant of the theme special body based on a Porsche 356 or VW beetle
You are on the right track. But, who did it and when.
I'll lock this for you for 24 hours.
Any experts care to have a go?
VW Ghia Aigle ?
nope
Porsche 356C Wendler ?
Oh, so close. Yes, it is a Porsche prototype by Wendler, but not based on a 356C. If you can come up with the basis of this car and when it was built that matches the documentation I have, I'll give you the point.
Puzzle locked until Monday morning (9:00am US Pacific time).
356 extended 1957 ?
Well, at least you got the year I had in the documentation I have. The documentation says that it was built on a 356A Cabriolet chassis with 356B bits added. But, that's kind of splitting hairs so I'll give you the point. ;D
There is also some disagreement in the material I found, so it's unclear when the car was actually built. Some sources say 1957 and other say 1959-60.
Here is the material I found along with some pictures of the car in happier times.
Here are some more pictures of the car as it looked in 2007. The guy who found it lives in Atlanta, GA. He contacted the Porsche Museum for information about the car that could help him restore it. They had nothing and thought the car had been destroyed. They were happy to discover that it was intact, albeit in very bad shape.

So what exactly was the point of pretending it wasn't a re-post?
Merged.
Please, which is that book that´s in your picture Araknid?
The guy who now owns the car refers to "Porsche 356 Driving in its Purest Form" by Dirk-Michael Conrad.
