OVERVIEW
Though more than 70 years have lapsed since the original debuted to the public, the legendary Porsche 356 remains today a hallmark of sports car design. With its unique profile and race-inspired lineage, the 356 became the first Porsche to proudly bear the family name of Ferdinand Porsche. Introduced in 1948, the 356 continually evolved with cosmetic and mechanical refinements until 1965, when production concluded with the arrival of the 911.
This exceptional numbers-matching 356A Speedster has had only two owners from new, and has been a west-coast local its whole life. The first owner, in California, took meticulous and well-documented care of the car for roughly 40 years, driving and maintaining it consistently.
The second owner purchased the car and brought it to Washington in 1998. He then oversaw a comprehensive, high-end restoration done by Bob King at King Restoration in Medford, Oregon which was completed in 2011.
Today, this car presents in a beautiful glossy white exterior over blue leather, in cosmetically perfect condition. Mechanically sorted, it runs confidently and shows the evidence of long-term care and consideration in every detail. With so many of the visceral aspects of driving lacking in our modern cars, the 356 legacy continues to be the siren of motoring adventure, urging us to discover the simple pleasure of driving a wonderfully restored vintage Porsche.
