1959 Porsche 356A Carrera GS/GT Speedster

    1959 Porsche 356A Carrera GS/GT Navigation
    The Porsche 356 Speedster, lighter than the Coupe and Cabriolet, was the ideal car for the four-cam Carrera engine. Only 140 Carrera Speedsters were made between 1954 and 1959 and only 30 of those were GT models. This is one of 19 GS/GT Speedster made in 1959; the second to last Speedster ever made and the last to leave the Porsche factory. With matching numbers, this Speedster is a great example with significant race car history from a famous Porsche driver. It was delivered to Joseph Buzzetta in June 1959 at the factory in Germany because he was in the Army stationed in Germany. Buzzetta raced the car successfully in a number of European events before bringing it back to the United States. In the United States he raced it in numerous races. Joe later raced for Porsche and advanced through the 906, 908 and 910s with factory support.
