1958 Porsche 356 Description

This 1958 coupe is a great original car which we have been being restored for the past 2 years. I bought the car from a 2nd owner who had the car stored in his Sonoma, CA garage for 35 years. This car is all correct with matching numbers. We did the brakes with wheel cylinders mater and brake hoses. The original engine is totally rebuilt and built to super specs with a big bore set installed. The engine is balanced, has powder coated sheet metal, cad plated fuel lines and brackets. The Zenith carbs and fuel pump are rebuilt too. The transmission has also been rebuilt. The body has been stripped to bare metal. We tried to save the original paint but it had too much checking and cracking. We did have a very high quality paint job done with German materials. The gauges were rebuilt by Palo Alto speedo .The Fjord Green is the factory color and it looks fabulous. Yes, windows were out and all rubbers and seals were replaced. The chrome is original except for the front and rear windows and the bumper decor. (We do have the bumper guards and overrider tubes, however, they need to be re-chromed). The tan interior was redone by Autos International as well as the oatmeal colored wool carpets. It's a great job. The car is running and driving, but not quite done yet. We still need to finish installing the interior, the carpets and emblems and we are working on that right now. The reason we are posting the car in this condition is so we could catch some potential buyers looking for a nice Porsche 356A coupe that will be coming to the Monterey historic race week . Car will be completed very soo, may offer a discount for as in condition , runs and drives great
