Delivered new to Hoffman Motors in New York, January 1, 1958 this
Speedster quickly made its way to California where it remained with
a long-term owner in very original condition. At some point in its
life it received a re-paint to red over the original Fjord Green
paint. In 2015, 84375 was discovered in static storage in a
California with the front bumper removed. The overall condition was
found to be very original throughout and a thorough mechanic
service was performed to bring it back to roadworthiness. It was
then sold to its next caretaker who performed a quality re-paint in
its original 5705B Fjord Green color. In 2022 noted California
Porsche service shop Markham Motor Works performed a major service
in preparation for a CA Highway 1 adventure. Records from 2021-2022
total approximately $15,000.00.

Conceived to meet a specific price point, it was a Spartan
purpose-built sporting machine with minimal equipment and no
needless accoutrements. Speedsters included a revised windshield
that significantly lowered the look of the car. A chrome strip down
the side of the car was also added and gone were unnecessary items.
With the reduced weight from the elimination of many trim items,
these rakishly designed models are even more exciting and fun to
drive.
A 356 Speedster is an iconic sports car and a must have for any
serious collection. It qualifies for numerous touring events and
shows around the world. We encourage serious consideration of this
example and are happy to set up inspections or answer any
questions.
