Vehicle Description
1959 Porsche 356A Sunroof Coupe
Did someone say patina?
Amazing original example of a well-preserved 356A Sunroof Coupe.
Only one respray over the original paint, many areas still showing
original paint along with the original interior. How many ads have
"completely original" except for...
Three (3) owners, the first owner had this 356 from 1959 to 1963.
And was traded into Friedman Motors, Inc located in Des Moines,
Iowa. The second owner purchased this 356 in September of 1963 for
$1,995.00 and traded in a 1961 VW. After 13 years the 356 was
stored in 1976 until 2016 by the second owner. It resurfaced in
2016 when European Collectibles purchased it and went through all
the mechanics.
Documents include the original "New Car Delivery Sheet" from
Hoffman Service Stations, Inc dated June 2, 1959, sales receipt
from September 1963 and Iowa plates showing the last register in
1976. 96,000 miles on the odometer and runs like a dream. Strong
running 1600cc engine with a smooth shifting transmission with
perfect synchromesh, which works flawlessly. Matching engine with
all original rubber seals, battery box, and leather tire strap. All
five rims are date coded and unrestored.
If you've been searching for a very original, unrestored, barn find
356 Sunroof that you don�t have to worry about parking at the local
store, this 356 may be for you.
