Every now and then we come across a Porsche 356, the first production car from the German manufacturer, that is for sale. Some of them are in bad condition but can be a good project.

It sits on silver-finished 15” wheels wrapped in 185-series Vredestein Sprint Classic tires.

This car is finished in black and is in pretty good condition, with the owner reporting minor damage such as a few dents, scratches and peeling chrome parts. It was fully restored in the mid-80s, and six years ago the car was equipped with a replacement black soft top, Sonnenland black boot cover, body-color bumpers, fog lights, a driver’s mirror, twin engine grilles with badges, aftermarket LED taillight bulbs, and dual exhaust outlets that exit through the rear bumper, and four-wheel drum brakes.

Inside, the seats are trimmed in red leather that also covers the door panels and the upper part of the dashboard. There is also a three-spoke steering wheel behind which is a five-digit odometer that shows 70,416 miles. Additional equipment includes a heater, a locking glove box, an adjustable rearview mirror, Coco Mats, a cigarette lighter, a Blaupunkt AM/FM/SW radio, and door pockets. A four-way flasher switch has been added under the dashboard.
