An original kit? You ****! That is worth a pretty penny. Okay, more than one penny.
Here is one on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/251416053356?lpid=82

Nevermind... don't contact the seller. He might shoot you.

If it's real, it should get you a little bit closer to the 930 you're dreaming of....
OP
I think this will be my eBay homerun for the year as my return is now 33 times what I paid for it.
Do you have it up already? I'd be interested in following the outcome.I think this will be my eBay homerun for the year as my return is now 33 times what I paid for it.

Got one in one of our car, and I think most porsche come with it. The Toyota kits are better, I think.

930dreamer,
Two of the tools in your P356 kit are not original to the kit:
1) feeler gauge set, and
2) the black handled tool with a hook on one end and a prybar on the other end.
It is also missing the tire pressure guage... but you already know that.
Also worth noting, the tool complement in the kits changed a little bit each year during the 356 era. I've never seen any two 356 tool kits that had the exact complement of tools in them or as pictured in the owners manuals that came with the cars.
I have a picture and a factory illustration/list of the 1960 356B kit if that would help you.

If the kit wasn't missing the pressure gauge, I'd be in high cotton.
I think you're already walking in tall cotton!
Groovy.

Congrats on you 51,000% profit. That has to be the score of the year.

WOW!!! I need to follow you to the next yard sale.
The words "you ****" can't really capture the "holy f'ing sh!t, I can't believe you made almost $5k on a small roll of German tools" I keep repeating to myself.

I also watched the auction end, I was a little worried when it was only $900 early in the day, but those last few seconds... Wow! Good for you!

That's why I moved out of the Porsche game. I had a whole garage full of Porsche parts and it took a long time to get rid of the stuff. I never had any of the high dollar stuff but I did sell an old original long hood badge that had the orange bars for well over an hundred bucks. The thing about that was most of the orange porcelain was missing as well as some of the black. It was just a core for restoration.
OP
It's been a good week.

Great for you 930dreamer!! I don't know if I could have taken the gamble and passed on the $2700 offer. Glad you had the stones to push all in and grab the extra $2K.
