The car left the factory in Aetna Blue (740) and the body was stripped and underwent rust repair before a repaint approximately four years ago. Exterior details include body-color bumpers with chrome overriders as well as a driver-side mirror, vent windows, a single rear decklid grille, and dual exhaust outlets exiting through each rear overrider. The seller notes that one of the horns is missing, and areas of wear are visible on the brightwork along with paint chipping and cracking that is detailed in the photo gallery below.
Slotted 15″ wide-five wheels wear polished hubcaps with Porsche crests and are mounted with 165-series Michelin XZX tires. Braking is handled by finned drums on all four corners.
The front bucket seats and fold-down rear seats are trimmed in red leatherette upholstery that extends to the dash pad and door panels. Additional appointments include a Blaupunkt push-button radio, a glove compartment, front lap belts, and gray carpets.
A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a body-color steel dash housing green-letter VDO instrumentation that consists of a central tachometer with a 5,800-rpm redline flanked by a 120-mph speedometer and a combination gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 83k miles, approximately 6k of which have been added by the current owner. True mileage is unknown.
The air-cooled 1.6L Type 616/7 flat-four features dual Weber carburetors that are said to have been adjusted in March 2023. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
The stamping on the engine block is shown above and photos of identifications markings on the transaxle can be viewed in the gallery.
Rust and sheetmetal perforations are present on the underbody, and evidence of damage repairs are noted in a video below.
The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity lists the original colors and powertrain numbers along with a production completion date of August 8, 1960.
Photos from various stages of the refurbishment are presented in the gallery.
