Just like Porsches today, these rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive cars were lightweight and nimble, available in both open and closed configurations. Weighing in at around 800kg, the 356 was fun to drive, and the stylish design has remained an enormous influence to this day. The cars were most popular in the United States, all of which were sold through importer Max Hoffman's famous dealership on Park Avenue. Porsche built only 394 cabriolets in 1953, about half of which survive to this day. This particular chassis, 60175, was purchased from the previous owner in 2014, who gave this car a no-expenses-spared, off-body restoration during his quarter-century of ownership. This restoration included the installation of an upgraded, more powerful 1600S Porsche 356 engine. Since that time, the car has remained largely preserved, mostly being used in shows as part of a larger collection. The current overall condition of 60175 is excellent. The cream paint still shines very well, and the top is in equally good condition, with no leaks. The red leather seats are excellent, as is the red carpeting throughout. Fit and finish throughout, including glass, dash, and body panels, is spectacular. The engine runs very smoothly and the steering is appropriately quick for an early Porsche. Overall, this car is still suitable for any top-tier concours event.
