A beautiful 356A T2 Coupe that has been restored to a mild "outlaw"
and has received numerous tasteful upgrades. Finished in Ivory with
a Red interior. The Ivory paintwork is in exceptional condition
with excellent fit and finish complemented by beautiful brightwork,
rubber, and trim. The exterior features European headlights,
Marchal driving lights, US overrider bumper bar delete, front
bumperette delete, and 5 � x 15 Techno Magnesium wheels. The
interior is in remarkable condition with a Zebrawood steering
wheel, Zebrawood shifter knob, Tan Cocoa Mats, and retractable seat
belts. Equipped with VDO oil pressure & voltage gauge, radio
delete, and optional removable roll bar.
The earliest known history of the vehicle begins in 1998 where Mr.
Anglin owned the vehicle from 1998-2002. On January 5, 1999, the
356 was taken to Dave Folts Transmissions in La Habra, California
where the original 644 transmission was rebuilt with 741
transmission internals components with BBBD gear ratio. By this
time the original engine had already parted with the vehicle and
powering the driveline was a 356C engine (type 616/15). On January
23, 1999, Shasta Design, was commissioned to perform a full engine
rebuild which included 912 crankshaft, standard main and rod
bearing, 912 rods, Elgin 266.9 camshaft, Shasta 86mmn pistons and
cylinders, Porsche valve springs, 200mm flywheel, 12-volt
generator, Bosch distributor and Weber carburetors. On March 2,
1999, the gauges were sent to North Hollywood Speedometer to be
restored. After trading hands in Southern California, the 356A
landed in the hands of Mr. Slevin who decided to take his 356 to
the next level. On March 3, 2003, Willhoit Auto Restoration was
selected to reassemble the vehicle and the work performed included
fitting the bumpers, fitting a roll bar, installing insulation,
installing a completely new interior, wiring, and a full detail of
the engine. After the build was complete the vehicle was sold by
European Collectibles twice; once in 2005 and again in 2009. The
recent owner of the vehicle has enjoyed this outlaw for the past 13
years and has serviced and maintained it over the years
Mechanically powered by an upgraded performance 1600cc flat-four
engine that is capable of outputting nearly 110hp paired to an
upgraded, smooth shifting manual 4-speed transmission. Complete
with spare tire, Porsche technical manual, troubleshooting guide,
and 24 years of service history. An excellent opportunity to
acquire a well-executed and stunning outlaw that has been worked on
by well-known 356 specialists.
