Delighted to be offering this simply stunning original 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster

Shut Restorations of Seattle did an exquisite restoration on this 1957 Speedster. During the restoration, this 356 was completely disassembled and stripped down to the bare shell so that every aspect could be properly addressed. The body and panels are original and still retain their correct stampings/numbers. Engine is a replacement unit. All panels were pre-fit with bumpers, windshield frame, and soft top to ensure the absolute best result. All the chrome was triple-plated, and all of the components were restored or replaced.

Mechanically, it is in excellent condition! The complete driveline was rebuilt including the engine, transmission, suspension, braking system, fuel system, and a new wire harness. The correct 1600cc engine performs flawlessly with plenty of power, and the manual 4-speed 644 transmission shifts through all the gears with ease. The four-wheel drum brakes have been rebuilt, including the wheel cylinders, brake lines, and master cylinder. The undercarriage is fully detailed, including the suspension, engine, and transmission.
