Porsche 356 A 1600 Convertible D

El vehículo en detalle

Originally imported through Krauss Porsche in Nürnberg, Germany, this 356 was delivered to the first owner, Michael Lewison, from San Francisco, California. Original factory options included a Bremen Blaupunkt radio, ashtray, cigarette lighter, reclining seats, color-matched luggage rack, and U.S. overrider bumpers.

This Convertible D benefits from a high-quality older restoration with original exterior trim and factory glass. Excellent gaps and panel fit with show-quality respray in its factory-correct color of silver metallic. The front hood and rear decklid match with “73” stampings in the factory locations. The interior features black upholstery, date-coded seat recliners, VDO instrumentation, and a VDM steering wheel. Silver-painted 4.5” x 15” wheels with Super hubcaps mounted to Michelin XZX 165 R15 tires. The floor pans are solid and rust-free and have been detailed along with the suspension.

Mechanically, this Convertible D is powered by its matching 1600cc Super engine, delivering 75 horsepower, paired to a 4-speed manual transmission (Type 716) and four-wheel drum braking system. Upon arrival at European Collectibles, the 356 received a comprehensive engine-out service, including a ceramic-coated muffler, a new fuel tank, and fuel lines; the braking system was rebuilt, and the undercarriage and suspension were fully detailed.

Complete with a date-coded spare wheel, jack, tool kit, owner’s manual, and Porsche Kardex. An exceptional opportunity to acquire a Convertible D in its factory-color combination. One of Porsche’s most sought-after 356 convertible models, which is difficult to find with the 1600cc Super option.
