This beautiful 356 Speedster left the factory on November 30,1955
finished in Signal Red over a beige leatherette interior. The car
was kept in dry storage from 1973 until 2010 when a bare-metal full
restoration was completed by Klasse 356 of Allentown, Pennsylvania,
at which time the car was refinished in its original color of
Signal Red (6211). The tan soft top and removable side curtains
were made more recently by Autobahn Interiors of San Diego,
California. The interior comes trimmed in beige leather with red
seat piping, tan square weave carpeting, an ivory-colored two-spoke
steering wheel, a black rubber floor liner, and a suite of analog
VDO instrumentation rebuilt by North Hollywood Speedometer
including a St�rk oil temperature gauge. In 2015 the original
engine was replaced with a Porsche 912 engine which was rebuilt and
upgraded with a 1,720cc big bore kit by Bob Fox of Ambler,
Pennsylvania. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 4-speed manual
gearbox. Koni shocks absorbers are equipped as well as an upgraded
Porsche 911 ZF steering box, Porsche 911 dual-circuit brake master
cylinder, 911 wheel cylinders, and steel brake lines. About 1,500
miles have been driven since the installation of the rebuilt
engine. Additional features include H4 headlights with chrome stone
guards and 15" wide-five steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and Kumho
Power Star 758 Radial tires sized 165/80.
Accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, toolkit, and
owner's manuals.
This Signal Red 356 Speedster runs and drives as good as it looks
and would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
Inspections welcomed.
