Porsche 356 Outlaw

The interior is stunning and executed to a very high standard. A mohair headliner and German square-weave carpeting were installed, and custom sport seats have been trimmed in Italian leather and are heated. A four-point racing harness and a hand-stitched, padded roll bar in matching leather were installed. The rear seat delete houses dual storage compartments: one for loose items and the other concealing the high-performance audio system. The stereo system includes Bluetooth connectivity, an amplifier, a hidden subwoofer, front and rear speakers, and a center-channel speaker integrated into the dash.

The dashboard has been transformed to an early 356 Pre-A dash finished in GT Silver, replacing the later padded arrangement and giving the cockpit a classic competition appearance. North Hollywood Speedometer created a custom gauge package, centered around a New Old Stock speedometer. Complementary gauges were restored and configured to match, including a multi-gauge display featuring fuel level, oil level, oil pressure, and oil temperature. On the driver’s side a vintage Nardi steering wheel with a custom Porsche horn button, a one-off external temperature gauge with integrated analog clock and on the navigator’s side, a custom rally clock paired with three exceptional vintage Heuers mounted on the dash, including a Sebring split timer, Monte Carlo, and Four Number Master Timer, to complete the rally-inspired dash.

The front trunk features a restored factory 80-liter fuel tank finished in silver with a through-the-hood center-fill, and a full-size spare wheel. In the engine compartment, the centerpiece is a 2.7-liter flat-four engine built by Dean Polopolus, often described as a four-cylinder 911 engine. Built with custom-machined heads for improved heat transfer, Pauter titanium rods, and a lightened flywheel, the engine reportedly produces over 225 horsepower at the spindle. Cooling is managed through a comprehensive oil system including a 911-style onboard oil cooler and fan, an additional Setrab cooler in the engine bay, and dual front passive coolers fed through full-length oil lines, providing nearly 12 quarts of total oil capacity.

Power is delivered through a 901 four-speed gearbox with custom gearing selected for both road use and spirited driving. Braking has been upgraded to later-model 356SC components, while the suspension incorporates 911 rear trailing arms and custom-adjustable elements to optimize tracking and handling. A balsa-style shift knob, inspired by Porsche’s great competition cars, controls the gearbox, while a center-pull handbrake replaces the original under-dash arrangement for improved function and control.

The result is a 356A Outlaw like no other with exceptional depth, vision, and craftsmanship. Blending early 356 Pre-A design, Carrera GT inspiration, bespoke coach-built details, and a Polo-powered 911 performance. This 1956 Porsche 356A 2.7L Polo Outlaw represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully sorted, no-compromise performance 356 built to an extraordinary standard.
