1953 Porsche 356 Pre A Outlaw
VIN: 51090
This Porsche is being listed for a customer of ours who has lost interest and is ready for something new.
1953 Porsche 356 Coupe has been highly modified in the “OUTLAW” flavor – car has had been converted to Type IV VW power with a custom built 2.7 ltr. high performance type 4 VW engine. Dual webers, Upright fan with 993 fan and alternator and upright fan housing. A VW swing axel gearbox with a Berg 5 speed conversion has also been fitted. The factory front suspension and full Porsche brakes are still present and a modified rear suspension that no longer uses torsion bars has been adapted to the body. A full custom interior with Recaro seats and modern gauges round out the cockpit.A custom aluminum fuel tank with thru the body filler occupies the front trunk. This car is full of neat details some may be your choice others not. A wheel backdate, speedster seats, gauge backdate, beehive tailights are just some the items that could easily be done to put your signature on it.
In the interest of full disclosure we feel the car needs a completely new transmission – a persistent issue with transmission noise and 3 attempts by one of the top transmission builders in the country have left my client frustrated and ready to move on. The engine has a couple of odd oil leaks that should be addressed as well. Outside of these issues the car runs and drives very well and a short list of items found after purchase have been addressed.
To avoid writing a novel please call 9126671704 and ask questions. I will give you the full back story. I have posted a limited selection of photographs and have a rather detailed photo file that I can email to you. I understand that this car is not for everyone – if you are a purist please don’t call, this car is a long way from stock and no, we do not have any of the stock parts. For the enthusiast that wants to get into an outlaw 356 this car represents a real opportunity for a car that has the look and is basically done but needs some mechanical attention, as such we have priced the car accordingly.
Thank you for looking and as with all of my listings if on “personal inspection” you feel that the car has been misrepresented in any way you are not obligated to complete the purchase.
