Vehicle Description
Original Signal Red/Beige, Porsche COA
We own this Speedster and it is available for viewing by
appointment in Jacksonville, Florida.
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 356 restoration experts 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 known
Porsche engine builder 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 2,000 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.
