Vehicle Detail

For sale, your next summer project! 1959 356A coupe with correct vintage engine and matching numbers - #108846 (one of the last 70 made!). The hood has not been man-handled by a inexperienced mechanic. The nose has had no damage. It comes with--and is attached--to a rotisserie (over $3000 value alone). There are many, many extra parts. The white and red paint shown in the pictures were the primer choices at various stages of work. The floor pan needs replacing (it's rusted through) but it’s the original pan. So, done well, it will last the continued life of the car. The battery box has rust (replacement panel included) as well as the door sills. Look at the links to see more pictures and description of car's condition. Original exterior color was Ruby Red #702 with an oatmeal interior. Replacement Parts bought for car (included):Battery Box correct for the 356A Front lower half wheel well, left and right Front fender brace, left and right Rear of front fender, left and right Frame strut, left and right Longitudinals with jack spurs for right and left Fender panels (for sections where rust was cut out) Floor pans (slight surface rust – really more of a slight rust mist) Seat rails, and the list goes on…… To name a few of the extras: Rear Side vent windows Oil cooler Back seat window rails (2) Trunk grill Big bore pistons and cylinders Set of 4 wheels (60 and 61 vintage) Hirschmann-Automatic Antenna 4 Koni shocks (will need to be rebuilt) Fan Shroud Torsion Bars (2) Wiper actuator View a picture gallery of the body View a picture gallery of parts BONUS - For $1000 more, I’ll throw in another vintage transmission from an early ‘60 B coupe (644.20.44 complete with brake drums) I know the value of this car and extra parts. A good body shop can make this car look stunning. I’m looking for someone else to bring this wonderful machine back to life. I simply have run out of time and room. Email me if you have any questions. Car needs to be picked up within 14 days of auction close. Buyer is responsible for arranging pick-up and/or shipping.
