You are looking at a 1958 T5 Porsche 356 A Coupe. The motor, chassis, doors and trunk lid are the original factory parts making this Porsche a rare matching numbers car. Car number: 104577, motor number: P-70-721. This car was complete before disassembly; it was an excellent driver and ran great (refer to the red car in the scanned photo). All the original parts are included, plus a lot of new replacement parts purchased from Stoddard. The motor is the stock 1958 1600 Normal motor complete and in great condition, only has about 5,000 miles on it since it was fully rebuilt. The transmission is in good shape as well. As you can see, the bodywork was started on this car, but the project was not completed due to the failing health of the restoration expert. The rust was all cut free from the car, and there is an extensive array of high quality Stoddard sheet metal to replace everything that was cut out. The floor pan had quite a bit of work done to it, and it’s in pretty nice shape (refer to the scanned photo of the floor pan in the pictures). According to the original cardex this Porsche was originally painted silver with brown leather interior. This was a complete car before it was taken apart, and it still has about 98% of the parts. The only items missing to complete this project are the carpet and upholstery kits. There are a lot of nice parts and rare treasures in here. Everything that you see, and everything that I have listed will go with the car.

These A model Porsches are the most popular because of their fenders. There were only 3,369 356 A coupes made in 1958. Now, 56 years later, there are only a handful of these old 356’s left, and they have definitely been appreciating in value making them excellent investments. Thousands of dollars were spent on all these Stoddard parts, and there is plenty of value in them alone. Potential buyers please be aware there are too many parts to fit them all inside the car, so you are going to have to plan on shipping the car and about a pickup load of parts.
