The vehicle in detail

The black paintwork is in excellent condition, with outstanding gaps and panel alignment. The aluminum trim, rubber seals, original glass, and chrome present exceptionally well. The cabin is in remarkable condition and is equipped with a VDM steering wheel, VDO instrumentation, and a Porsche radio delete plate. The chrome slotted wheels are 4 ½” x 15” mounted to Vredestein Sprint Classic 165 15 tires with Super hubcaps.

European Collectibles sold this 356 Convertible in July of 2003 to a repeat client residing in Central California, who had this 356 for 17 years. The last significant service occurred in September 2019 and included an oil change, valve adjustment, brake inspection, linkage repair, rebuilding of the kingpins, and installing a front disc brake conversion; $ 3,092 was spent. In 2020, European Collectibles sold this Super 90 Cabriolet to the current owner, and it was added to his collection; it benefited from a climate-controlled garage and routine services conducted by Hendrick Porsche in North Carolina. On June 5, 2021, at 21,649 miles, Hendrick Porsche replaced the valve cover gaskets, rebuilt the fuel pump, replaced the oil sump plate seal, changed the gearbox fluids, replaced the shift shaft seal, and flushed the brake fluid. A compression test was performed at that time, with the following results: 1) 148, 2) 148, 3) 146, 4) 149. On October 11, 2021, at 21,715 miles, Hendrick Porsche rebuilt the carburetors, refurbished the distributor, and replaced the battery. Most recently, at 21,890 miles, Hendrick Porsche has done an oil service and repaired the fuel lines and the shift coupler.

Equipped with its matching 1600cc Super-90 flat-four engine (Type 616/7) paired with its matching four-speed manual transmission (Type 741). This 356 performs flawlessly and produces 90 horsepower. The 741 manual 4-speed shifts through the gears smoothly and the four-wheel drum braking system has been upgraded to a front disc brake conversion. Complete with owner’s manual, Porsche Kardex, spare wheel, jack, and service records. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, numbers-matching Super-90 Cabriolet that has been finished to a very high standard!
