Description for Porsche 356 1962

This is an exceptional car that is show and road ready.. don't miss out on this car, it will be hard to find a restored car at this level for this price,,, others not as fresh have sold for almost twice as much. The collaboration of specialists that built this car is amazing.. It is a real head turner.. this car has 500 miles on it since restoration...

I have had 3 verifiable offers close to the "buy now" price, and I have also dropped the sale price $20,000 from the start to help it along. This car will be detailed up and ready to drive home or we can recommend a carrier to deliver it to your door.

THANKS FOR ALL THE VISITS AND POSITIVE COMMENTS.. This is truly a beautiful car...

This is an exceptional and very rare Porsche 356 BT6 model, it was restored to the "Street Concours" show level in 1992 by a collaboration of top flight

professional Porsche restorers. This Porsche 356 Cabriolet is a very rare D'Ieteren'Twin Grille' Roadster "normal" model, one of only 248 built in 1962.

This is a fine example that was restored by the current owner in 1992 and has been driven less than 500 miles to date, 8/8/2017.

The black 62 Speedster went over $500k at auction 2 weekends ago..

I would like to thank the 3 parties that made offers...
