Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 I purchased this beautiful Porsche back in the early 1980’s. I haven’t driven it very much over the past 10 years. The car was red when I bought it. It was painted shortly after I purchased it. Body work was done with lead and very little bondo. The interior is the same as when I bought the car. You may want to upgrade the interior and carpet, as it is not original, although it is in good condition. The hood is straight with no kinks. Rubbers all around are in good condition. Headliner is in fair condition and could use a good cleaning. Doors, hood and deck lid open and close well. All gaps seem to be quite good. Tires are 175 x 15 steel radials. They are the same tires that were on the car when I bought it. They appear to still be in very good shape with no visible cracking. The car does have a spare tire. The underneath is in reasonably good shape. There was a patch job done before I got it. Battery box is solid. The car is fairly complete. It will need a good going over. Change all fluids, fuel pump, new battery, aerial, outside mirror and a radio. The electrical system has been converted over to 12 volts. Bumpers are metal; however I don’t have the bumperettes. This is a nice car to restore without getting buried. I am also including the ‘Porsche Type 356 A Driver’s Manual’. Transmission #: P*60045*; Engine #: 102681600; Reutter: VIN #57414 KAROSSERIE KUNSTHARZLACK I do have a clear title on the car. The car currently has a non-operator status. Unfortunately, the car has sat in the garage since 2006. It was running fine when I put it away. Engine ran well and transmission shifted ok. Body is in very good condition. The car did not come equipped with seat belts. Not long after I got it, after much nagging from my wife about how unsafe it was to drive like that, I finally relented and installed them. When I put the car in the garage, I put a cover over it and things began to get piled on top, underneath and inside the car. I have a 20 year old son off at college (private school, very expensive). He was a teenager when I put the car away. Somehow the car now has a broken antenna, the mirror was snapped off and there is a small dent on the left front fender along with several small nicks. Not really sure how this happened, but use your imagination. I finally got tired of looking at the car in this state for so many years. I decided I needed to get it out of the garage, clean it up and let someone else enjoy it. The money will also help fund my son’s education.Car was registered in California, and comes with a Bill of Sale.

First, the VIN 57474 is correct. The car was produced probably in late 1956 but is labeled as a 1957. The which appears on the door, also appears under the front hood, under carpeting near the gas tank. Second I doubled checked the engine number. It appears the engine # is 10268460 (or it may be 6D).On Jul-22-12 at 16:15:36 PDT, seller added the following information: PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU ARE WILLING TO BUY
