Porsche 356 A 1600

This 1959 Porsche 356A coupe remained registered in California to its second owner for 47 years until it was acquired by the current owner’s late father in 2014 and subsequently refurbished over the next four years, including a repaint, rebuilds of the engine and transaxle, and replacement of the floors. The car has been refinished in Ivory over red leatherette and is powered by a modified flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Features include 15″ ventilated steel wheels, a Blaupunkt radio, a Les Leston steering wheel, a luggage rack, a cabin heater, and bucket seats. This 356A coupe is now offered on dealer consignment with a copy of the Kardex, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the owner’s manual, service records, and a clean California title.

This Reutter-built example came finished from the factory in Silver Metallic and was repainted in Ivory in the 1960s and again in 2015, at which time rust repairs were performed on the fenders, door jambs, and door bottoms. Additional equipment includes a rear luggage rack, bumper overriders, wind wings, and dual side mirrors. Blemishes are shown up close in the gallery.
