Vehicle Description
1957 Porsche 356A Speedster
• VIN 83774
• Engine No. 603129
• Porsche Kardex
• Completed September 10, 1957
Long-term ownership from a single-family ownership for the past 55
years. According to the Porsche Kardex, this T1 Speedster was
initially delivered by Hoffman Motors in New York, New York, and
finished in Silver Metallic. Factory options include sealed beam
headlights and US Bumpers.
According to the previous owner, this Speedster was last driven in
the late 1970s before going into long-term storage for the next
four decades. The front hood, doors, and rear decklid all match
"774" stampings. The gas tank and fuel-sending unit are also
date-coded and match this 356. The interior is complete with VDO
instrumentation, speedster seats, door panels, door tops, and a VDM
steering wheel. The exterior is complete, including the chrome
windshield frame, soft-top frame, hard-top, bumpers, and 4 �" x 15"
wheels. The undercarriage is all original but will need some rust
repair, including a new battery box floor, longitudinals, and
closing panels.
Mechanically, this 356 Speedster is complete with a 1600cc engine
(Type 616/1), manual 4-speed transmission, and four-wheel drum
braking system. Complete with the Porsche Kardex, spare wheel, soft
top, and hard top. This is an incredible opportunity to acquire a
T1 Speedster project needing restoration.
