Porsche 356 A 1600 Super Speedster

This Speedster received an extensive amount of preparation here at CPR. Upon arrival, it was found that the previous owner had the car dry-ice blasted before shipping us the car. When the car was dry ice blasted, it removed all of the undercoating on the undercarriage which revealed beautiful original metal. CPR elected to strip any remaining undercoating, perform minor metal repairs as necessary to the undercarriage, and then refinished the entire undercarriage in correct textured undercoating and the correct shade of black. Servicing also included rebuilding the entire braking system and installing a new master cylinder. We also performed a major engine service, carburetor synchronization and tune, and installed a new dual-exit sport exhaust.

Following all of the preparation above, this Speedster spent over a week being meticulously color-sanded and polished to remove imperfections and shrinkage in the paint that had developed over the past 25 years. The paint now although not perfect, presents in wonderful condition that is very passable for a street class showing at a Porsche event.
This car also has some wonderfully unique history including an entry at the La Carrera Classic Road Race run from Ensenada to San Felipe in 1987. This 356 Speedster is a lovely driver. It is the perfect car for someone who wants to use their car. For those of you who already own garage queen concours 356 Speedsters (possibly built by us 🙂 ), here’s a Speedster to add for driving and use for its original purpose.
