I am selling my Authentic Porsche 1959 356 Convertible D Speedster Super. It is matching numbers original factory Porsche. Engine is out for rebuild.
There were only about 1400 convertible D speedster made
And of those only about 200 of the Super. This is one of those. It's extremely rare.
I believe I am the 3rd owner
Has extremely rare dealer original period hardtop. From my understanding Porsche didn't make a factory hardtop so it was made by Plastics Dynamics as a period Dealer option.
Currently Aga Blue patina paint with new grey carpet and black seats.
New soft top
New carpet
New undercoat
Matching Hood, Deck lid, Tank, Trans, Engine, Wheels, possibly Doors too I haven't checked.
Comes with a set of period Goodyear tires that would e great to take to a show somewhere.
Wheels are dated 59
When engine was in and driving the trans didn't seem to have any issues and went through all gears smoothly.
Car was previously California car and moved to PA since the 80's where it had a S90 motor for many years.
It has returned to CA and the S90 was traded for its original engine that needs to be rebuilt.
Engine was undergoing full rebuild by master 356 only mechanic but stopped due to He's on vacation though so you have options
When I bought it I had planned to keep it as a driver till I could do a full restoration. At this time I am entertaining a sale. I will keep it if I don't get asking price throw in a 912 engine and drive it which someone else smart should do.
Price to be sold as is
With completed engine extra cost of build
Open to trade for an 356 A T1 + cash or any running car + cash
Also have a '60 T5 S90 Sunroof in bare metal undergoing restoration if anyone is interested.
