Description

FRESH OUT OF LONG-TERM STORAGE IN A CLIMATE-CONTROLLED PERSONAL COLLECTION, THIS IS A MATCHING NUMBERS, KARDEX VERIFIED EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1959 PORSCHE 356A 1600 SUPER. 78k MILES ON ODOMETER (TMU). REUTTER KAROSSERIE BODY SERIAL #106662, ENGINE # P*83344*. PAINT CODE #608 (SILVER) WITH ONE OLDER REPAINT UNDER PREVIOUS OWNERSHIP (IN THE 1970S) WHICH DOES SHOW SOME BLEMISHES, BUT STILL PRESENTS VERY NICELY. ALL GLASS AND TRIM ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. RED UPHOLSTERY LOOKS GOOD OVERALL, BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN RE-DONE IN THE 70S AT THE SAME TIME AS THE PAINT. DRIVERS SEAT HAS A SPLIT IN THE BACK REST (SEE PHOTO). DIALS, GAUGES, KNOBS, BEZELS ARE ALL UNRESTORED AND ORIGINAL. HEUER "MONTE CARLO" STOPWATCH, AND THE HEUER "MASTER-TIME" CLOC, AND THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND AUXILIARY HORN BUTTON ON THE STEERING COLUMN ARE THE ONLY VARIANCES FROM STOCK. (HORN RING IS BROKEN).THIS CAR WAS VERY LOVINGLY OWNED AND OPERATED HERE IN NEW ENGLAND, AND PARTICIPATED IN CLUB EVENTS AND RALLIES. FLOORS AND FRAME ARE WONDERFULLY PRESERVED BY OLD SCHOOL UNDERCOATING TREATMENT. ( I HAD TO USE A WIRE BRUSH TO EXPOSE THE TRANSMISSION AND GEARBOX NUMBERS).PLEASE NOTE THAT I DIDN'T WASH OR EVEN DUST THIS CAR WHEN IT CAME OUT OF THE STORAGE BUILDING. THE CAR COULD USE A GOOD DETAILING, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO MESS WITH ITS "BARN FIND" QUALITY. THAT CAN BE DONE AT THE DISCRETION OF THE NEXT OWNER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE COSMETICALLY TO THIS CAR FOR OVER 44 YEARS. IT CAN BE ENJOYED AS-IS OR BEAUTIFIED. I LIKE IT THE WAY IT IS....I HAVE MORE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO SHARE IF INTERESTED, AND AM HAPPY TO WORK WITH ANY TRANSPORT COMPANY YOU HIRE.THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY APPRAISED AND VERIFIED AS A TRUE NUMBERS-MATCHING SUPER 1600. ITS A GREAT LITTLE CAR.PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A DEAL ON THIS CAR UNTIL YOU HAVE ALL THE FUNDS IN PLACE.THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!!
