Originally finished in white, the Reutter-built body was stripped to bare metal during the restoration and placed on a rotisserie for metal repairs before being repainted in metallic silver. Features include beehive taillights, body-colored bumpers with chrome overriders, a single sideview mirror, gold emblems, and quad exhaust outlets. Body number (639) stampings on the engine lid, front hood hinge support, and inner doors can be viewed in the photo gallery.
The black convertible top is complemented by a set of matching side curtains, and full and partial black tonneaus are included in the sale. A removable hardtop is also included and can be seen in the gallery. It was painted to match the body during the restoration, but has not been fitted with rear window glass.
Ventilated 15″ steel wheels have been repainted in silver metallic and wear polished baby moon hubcaps. Vredestein Sprint Classic tires are mounted all around, including on a spare wheel secured in the front compartment. Braking is handled by hydraulic drums, and a walk-around video can be viewed above.
Fixed-back bucket seats were trimmed in red leather from Autos International during the restoration, and matching upholstery covers the door panels and dash top. Red square-weave carpeting lines the seat backs, footwells, and sills, while black rubber mats protect the floors. Red lap belts with Porsche-crest buckles are in place for both occupants.
A two-spoke steering wheel frames rebuilt green-letter VDO instrumentation, including a 6k-rpm tachometer and 120-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 67k miles, approximately 1k of which have been added since the restoration.
A 356C engine had been installed prior to the seller’s acquisition and was replaced during the restoration with a period 356A flat-four (*65307*). Prior to installation, the engine was rebuilt to a displacement of 1,720cc with big-bore cylinders and pistons. Maintenance since the restoration has been carried out by the seller’s in-house mechanic. A cold-start video can be viewed here.
The car is equipped with a replacement Type 716 four-speed manual transaxle, which was rebuilt during the restoration along with other drivetrain components. The suspension has also been refreshed and features Boge shock absorbers at each corner.
Additional images from the restoration can be seen in the gallery below, and invoices from the project are included in the sale.
The Kardex lists the car’s departure from the factory on October 8, 1956 in a color combination of white over black leatherette. The Porsche CoA is pictured in the gallery and also lists the factory colors and equipment. A driving video is attached below.
