History;
Originally this Porsche 356 (Super 75Pk) with chassis number 111366 was delivered in Germany by the Fa.Rittersbacher (April 1960) to its first American owner who took this 356 to the USA.
In 2009 this 356 was exported to the UK, and then came to the Netherlands in 2010. (22-03-2011 Dutch registration).
In the USA the wheel arches at the rear were modified (beaten out, rolled).
In the period 2010-2011 this 356 was completely overhauled and converted to an ‚Outlaw‚ version in the Netherlands.
Bodywork;
The general condition is very good, the original bumper penetrations are welded shut, the wheel arches at the rear are ‚beaten out‘ to be able to mount (possibly) wider tires. The bottom is original and hard.
The clearances of the doors and lids are neat.
2 leather rally closing straps are mounted on the front lid. The rally stickers on the bodywork can be removed if necessary. The engine cover is equipped with louvers as was used on the 356 Carrera GT.
The color is ‚Elfenbein‘ (Ivory) and has a beige tint, it suits the 356 nicely.
The paint code is 6004 and is the original color.
Wheels-Tires-Suspension;
The original drum brakes on this 356 B have been replaced at the front and rear by disc brakes from a Porsche 356 SC. Koni classic shock absorbers have been mounted. The lightweight rims, including the spare wheel, are from the Porsche 944Turbo. During major maintenance in 2022, all bearings, brake pads, and rear hubs were replaced and 5 new tires were fitted (Continental CT22 Contact 165/80R15 87).
