In 1959 2,742 356A coupes were said to be produced making this example fairly rare. It’s even more uncommon to find an example that is mostly original and in great shape. This 356A super 1600 is said to have just 78,750 original miles. The car is for sale for $150k or best offer on eBay.

The exterior appears to be in good condition and is said to have been repainted in #608 Silver by the previous owner. The seller notes that some blemishes are present but nothing that couldn’t be resolved. There is no rust present and the car has never been in rough weather. The curves in the styling and luggage rack are perfectly ’50s and it’s difficult to come across a barn find that needs mostly minor restoration cosmetically.

The interior appears to be in great condition for its age and considering its original. There is a split in the driver’s seat back and some small defects throughout. The dials, gauges, and bezels are all said to be original. The Heuer Monte Carlo stopwatch and Master Time clock are said to be replacements. The interior could use a detailing and some minor restoration but is overall in excellent shape.

There are no engine shots included in the ad, though the owner notes that the serial number on the engine is #P*83344* so it can be assumed that the car still is equipped with its engine. The seller didn’t note whether or not the car runs and drives but at its current price point it can also be assumed that it does. This is a terrific opportunity for a Porsche enthusiast to do some light restoration work on a largely original and rare Porsche 356A super 1600. The seller notes that they can send videos and more images. If this is the project you’ve been looking for make your offer on eBay before it’s gone.
