Porsche 356 A 1600 Convertible D

Following paint, the car was partially assembled before being sent to Autobahn Interiors in Sorrento Valley to have the entire fawn leather interior installed. Correct square weave carpet was installed, and a tan top with a tan tonneau cover was done to complete the aesthetic. The car then returned to CPR, and the final assembly process was completed.

The drivetrain was completely overhauled during the restoration. The gearbox was sent to Rancho Performance, where it received a complete overhaul, including a new gear set, synchros, bearings, main shaft, and a detailed blasting and refinish to the case. The engine was overhauled in-house at CPR and upgraded with a 1720cc big bore kit. The engine now produces near 100hp and allows the car to drive comfortably at highway speeds.

The car was then driven 300 miles for break-in and tuning purposes before being delivered to its most recent owner, a Washington State resident, in 2018. The vehicle lived for three years in Washington, only covering 670 miles during this time. The car now shows just 970 miles since its complete restoration and remains in outstanding, fully restored condition.

This 356 Convertible D is one of the finest restored 356s we have ever produced. The level of finish is second to none, and the car drives better than new in all facets. It is a must-consider example if you are in the market for an as-new 356 Convertible D that can be driven worry-free or shown with outstanding success.
