One of the most desirable 356 models, with its snug convertible top, wind-up windows and 4-wheel disc brakes. Bought from the original owner in the Pacific Northwest ten years ago, it is a poster child for originality and preservation.
The original leather has a nice patina, the decade-old repaint still shines well and the car runs & drives great. (The Vredestien tires are also a decade old, so new ones should be planned for).
Still with its original Blaupunkt radio and set off with chrome wheels, this would be an excellent choice for a high-level ‘driver’ that shows very well, but can still be actually driven without undue worry.
The car is in our shop waiting its turn to be detailed, buffed & polished, but we wanted to get it listed ASAP, so please excuse the candid photos.Recent auction sales of these have touched $200K, so here’s a real opportunity.
If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself. Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car, and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see 'where the magic happens.' If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
