This Twin Grille Roadster was purchased by Jim Kellogg in early 1983 from Larry Scoglund of Minneapolis. Larry was a vintage racer and bought this as a project/race car. He had found it in a barn in Wisconsin.
Jim Kellogg restored this car especially for his wife who enjoyed the car until it was recently sold. The Twin Grille Roadster was complete with the original engine but was tired and needed a restoration. The Roadster was completely disassembled and as media blasting was not available at that time, the 356 was acid dipped. The acid removed fiberglass that had been used for repairs and removed rust damage. Metal repair was done using mostly NOS panels which were available at that time. Effort was made to duplicate the factory welds. The Roadster was moved from Minnesota to Colorado in 1985. It had been assembled to verify panel correctness but needed paint and interior. The Roadster was painted its original Ruby Red by Tom Conway of Carquip in Boulder, Colorado. The interior was purchased from Autos International in California and installed by an experienced upholstery shop. The engine was rebuilt by Ron Appleton in Boulder, Colorado. The restored Twin Grille Roadster made its first appearance at the 356 Registry West Coast Holiday in Steamboat Springs, Colorado in 1991. Since then it has been driven to 356 Registry Holidays in Lake Tahoe, California, Sedona, Arizona and Boerne, Texas. It has participated in many Rocky Mountain Porsche 356 Club events over the years and has won Concours awards.
