Porsche 356 A 1600 Speedster

European Collectibles purchased three Porsches; a 1957 356A Speedster, a 1962 356B T6 Notchback Coupe, and a 1969 912 Sunroof Coupe through a dealer in Colorado, who made several trips to Western Wyoming to look at a collection and eventually brought all three Porsches. He also had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the Porsches before he passed away and heard his stories. The past owner was a Western Wyoming native. He purchased a 1962 356B T6 Notchback Coupe in Denver while attending the University of Wyoming in Cheyenne. Being a student at the time, he had to convince his mother to loan him the money for it. After college, he ended up in Idaho to pursue being a ski bum (also a ski instructor, which one sometimes does to allow themselves to ski as much as possible) and a musician; he later recorded a country LP in Nashville, Tennessee, and taught music for most of his “real” career. While living in Idaho, he spotted a 1957 Porsche Speedster. He discovered that a former fraternity brother owned the Speedster, and he purchased it from him in the late 1960’s. This Speedster then became his daily driver for 10 years. After buying the Speedster, he stored the 356B T6 Notchback at his family’s ranch in Wyoming. In the late 1970s, while living in Boise, Idaho, he purchased the 1969 912 Sunroof Coupe. After returning to western Wyoming and bringing both the Speedster and the 912 with him, the owner decided to restore the Speedster. The Speedster was found in the garage of his home, having been dismantled and re-painted in black and awaiting completion. The Speedster spent most of its time in Idaho and Western Wyoming, and the past owner had it for over five (5) decades until he passed in 2020.

Complete with tools, jack, owner’s manual, boot cover, side curtains, Porsche Kardex, and photo documentation of the restoration. It is truly one of the best Speedsters that you will find, and it has no issues. The condition and the color combination is simply stunning! Superb in every way, ready for full concours, driving rallies, cars and coffee or simply to enjoy the drive!
