What can be the conditions of a car built 60 years ago and left 20 or 30 years outdoors, under a tarp? Not good, of course. Especially if the climate is that of Virginia, one of the wettest states in the United States, a climate that puts all classic cars to the test. Of course,… Read More Under the tarp: 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster
Porsche convertibles up to m.y. 1953 are rare, very rare. And if we add rarity to the well-known marketability of vintage Porsches, very important values begin to jump out. What we see here is even a car from 1952 (chassis # 15051), and here we begin to enter the elite of classic Porsches, especially because,… Read More Former Adriablau: 1952 Porsche 356 Cabriolet
How much are you willing to pay for a chassis number if it belongs to one of the 300 Porsche 356 Cabriolets produced in ’53? We assume that everyone has a different answer. We are talking about the chassis because on this Porsche, in addition to it, the only original parts remain those relating to… Read More Almost bent: 1953 Porsche 356 Cabriolet
One of ebay’s most watched cars these days is this Speedster from 1956, and I guess the reason is clear to you. The reason is – think about how things change over the years – dust. Until the 1980s, this car’s only destination would have been the junkyard, where it would have been cannibalized of… Read More Dusty but not rusty: 1956 Porsche 356 Speedster
Summer is in its waning phase (like the whole year, too bad we didn’t even notice), and if you love Porsches and are looking for a project for next year, here is one.

Finding a classic car owned by the same owner for 25 years is hard down, let alone twice as long. It seems to be the case of this 356 B Roadster, a car already rare in its standard model, but this is an S, that is, with the engine that produces 75 horsepower, it is… Read More 53 years ownership: 1960 Porsche 356B T5 Roadster
Let’s face it: it is not that finding a 1956 356 for sale is an exceptional thing, however this specimen has its peculiarity. And as you may have guessed, the peculiarity of this car lies in the color in which it was originally painted: it is the “Jadegruen” color or, not in German, “Jade Green”,… Read More Rough stone: 1955 Porsche 356 Coupé
Peter Behrens (a godfather figure to the young architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe) taught us to eliminate unnecessary bells and whistles, thus minimizing the separation of form and function. And we believe that’s true, but without exaggerating: the one published here is what remains of a 356 of 1953 (chassis # 50312), and is… Read More Less is less: 1953 Porsche 356
We all know that the pre-56 Porsche 356 are becoming untouchable, no matter in what conditions they are, so always more often we see for sale cars that, up to five years ago, we would not have taken even for free. Unfortunately we don’t make rules, market does so here we are comenting wat remains of… Read More Restoration day: 1953 and 1955 Porsche 356 Coupé
There are many Porsche 356 for sale, in any condition and with prices which range from few bucks (for a late car wreck without engine) to one million and even more.
