Originally delivered to Paris, this example is now being offered by its seller out of La Jolla, California.
This 356 is said to have undergone a complete concourse restoration a few years back. The Ruby Red finish is stated to be in excellent condition along with all brightwork and seals. A black cabriolet top is equipped which also remains in excellent condition. This example rides on factory chrome wheels that wear Radial tires with plenty of tread life remaining.
Inside, you will find a Beige interior that is nothing short of extraordinary. All aspects of the cabin show to be in Concours condition and all accessories remain fully functional. A few iconic styling cues inside this 356 include an exterior color-matched dashboard, chrome gauge bezels, classic Ivory steering wheel, and Cocoa mats.
Powering this 356 is an upgraded 1961 1.6 L 1582cc engine. The rear wheels are driven by way of a numbers-matching four-speed manual transmission making for a traditional analog driving experience. The seller notes that a recent service of over $10k was carried out, bringing this 356 to top running condition. A list of all items addressed will be included in the photo gallery. With only 1k miles driver since purchasing the vehicle, this 356 is in excellent running condition.
The sale will include two keys, books, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a car cover.

@414mqk Thanks Antonio. It is a beautiful car....and California is a great place to live. We are clearly on the same page. Best wishes.
@lgitman Thank you very much for your kindness.
I'm in love with this car. I am an artist from Lisbon. Right now I was doing the simulation to import a classic car from the USA. It's quite high. 23% of the total value: purchase price + transport and other costs + taxes + ISV (Tax on vehicles)...
I think it will be cheaper to live in California :) :) It's my wife's dream.
@414mqk Thanks Antonio. I'll be glad to respond to any questions you might have, but am obligated to maintain all discussions on the PCARMART system so that other interested parties can benefit from the dialogue. Thanks again for your interest in the car.
@lgitman Good afternoon, I wonder how I can contact you without being here in comments.
Thank you very much.

Hi. I am the owner of this car. Thank you for viewing it. I have owned the car since October of 2017 and, although it was in great condition, I sorted the car out a bit in order to satisfy my desire to make it better. I have owned many late-model Porsches and thought that, given the little I drove them, a truly collectible one is what I needed. I have driven this car about 1,000 miles since I purchased it; it has been covered in my garage, and only driven to keep it in good running order. I am selling it because I decided I need a true third-car driver and this car is too nice to serve that purpose. If you have any questions about the car, do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks again for your interest in the car.
