Vehicle Description
1954 Porsche 356 Pre-A bent-window Coupe "survivor": One owner
since 1958; 80,178 original miles; 100% factory-original metal;
original numbers-matching engine and transmission; original
interior; all five original 16" wheels with original beauty rings
and hubcaps; original carburetors and intake; original external
engine components; original gas tank; original bumpers and
over-riders (never removed); original glass; original radio, dash
knobs and door handles; superb factory color combination Pearl Grey
5407 and Kunstl Blue interior (one repaint to blue); Kardex
included. Most all 356 Pre-A models are missing parts which are
notoriously difficult-to-impossible to replace, this one appears to
be missing almost nothing. The original floors and battery box are
in great condition. The original body gaps are excellent and the
numbers-marching doors hood and deck lid shut nicely, as they
should on any 356 that has never been wrecked nor rusted. The
engine has not been run since the early 1970's but it turns freely
and shows no signs of damage. The long-term owner, a retired Cal
Fire official, purchased the car in San Francisco in 1958 and kept
everything for it. We have not cleaned this car in order to retain
the authenticity of this particular find. Please note that we go to
extents to document our cars in pictures and provide the most
transparent listings on Ebay. Everything included is pictured.
Please study the pictures carefully rather than requesting
descriptions. Please complete any inspections or ask any questions
prior to bidding or committing to buy the car. Thanks for the
interest!
