1959 Porsche 356A Carrera GS/GT Navigation
This is one of 32 GT Speedsters produced by Porsche in 1959. The Speedsters were produced in a sequential run, ending the historic speedster body style. This vehicle has been restored with the original aluminum panels and wheels, factory GT rollbar and 100 liter fuel tank. The engine produces 135 horsepower at 7300 rpm.
This car with serial number #84040 has a history that goes back to when the factory shipped it to Hoffman Motors in New York City for their customer Alan P. Schweber. it was re-sold later to Bernard Switkes who used the car mainly in autocross competition.
Although the GS/GT Speedsters are now purely collectors' car, in the late 50s and 60s, they were supreme when in the hands of worthy drives such as Bruce Jennings, Bernie Switkes, John Kelly, Harry Blackhard, Emil Pardee, Don Webster and Joe Buzzetta.
