This 1957 Porsche 356A coupe, acquired by the current owner in 1985, represents a driver quality car with notable features and a history of maintenance. Completed on August 31, 1956, it boasts a vibrant red exterior paired with black and red upholstery. Powered by a replacement 1.6 liter flat four engine mated to a four speed manual transaxle, it offers a classic driving experience. The car comes equipped with oatmeal square weave carpets, 15 steel wheels, beehive taillights, and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio. Though the exterior received a repaint in its current shade of red in 2017 and exhibits some imperfections typical of its age, including intermittent turn signal operation, it retains its charming vintage appeal. Inside, the cockpit features re trimmed low back bucket seats, black upholstery extending to the dashpad and door panels, and a wooden Porsche crest shift knob. The ivory finished steering wheel fronts a body color dashboard housing green letter VDO instrumentation, including a 120-mph speedometer and an inoperable tachometer. While the odometer shows 74k miles, the total mileage is unknown. With recent maintenance including engine resealing and transaxle servicing in preparation for sale, this Porsche 356A, accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, offers an enticing opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a well loved classic driving experience.
