This 1956 Porsche 356A 1600 Speedster Coachwork by Reutter was completed at the Zuffenhausen-based Porsche works on October 10, 1956 as a 1957 model-year car. It was built for the U.S. market and given USA style bumpers, sealed beam headlights and a speedometer in miles per hour.
Around the late 2000s or early 2010s, the car was acquired by its current owner, a resident of Naples, Florida. After its purchase it was given a ground-up restoration. The nut-and-bolt, 21 month restoration brought the car back to factory correct specifications. It is currently finished in an appropriate color combination of Silver Metallic over Red.
This Porsche is powered by a period-correct, 356A 1600 type 616/1 unit, manufactured around 9 months later than the unit fitted when new (63076 vs 65307). The car has a Hard Top, and a tool kit.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2019
