This 1958 Porsche 356 Super Cabriolet was restored as follows: Complete bare metal restoration of the bodywork, the color was changed from black (originally light ivory) to Meissen Blue to compliment the excellent condition previously done interior in saddle, new black German canvas top and boot cover were installed, and all rubber trim.
The correct Super engine & transmission number (81438) car is in perfect driving condition with show quality paint. Upon restoration it was decided to eliminate the US regulation bumper over riders in favor of the cleaner looking Euro style uprights. The engine has been upgraded to Solex P40/II carburetors for better acceleration. It is beautifully detailed with all correct hardware and labels. Despite it's original 6 Volt system, the engine starts cold or hot easily every time. Michelin XZX 165SR/15 tires have been installed on the chrome 5 wheels with flawless Super hubcaps. The car was lowered slightly for better handling and more aggressive stance. All gauges look like new and perform correctly. Over 900 hours went into the show quality work performed.
VIN: 150730
