This 1959 Porsche 356A Is the Cool Classic Convertible of the Week

This is the case of the ’59 356A that is now available on eBay and which has already been fully restored both inside and outside to look like a brand-new car.

The 356A itself is a pretty rare find these days, as it’s believed that Porsche has built a little over 1,000 units every model. The car launched in late 1995 with internal codename Type 1, while a revised model called Type 2 was released two years later. The car was available with multiple engines, starting with a 1.3-liter available on the 1300 model and ending with the 1.6-liter on the Carrera 1600 GS.

This 1959 356A that’s now being listed on eBay comes with the 1.6 L Type 616/1 B4 available on the 1600 version, and the garage that’s selling it claims everything is working just like on day one. The transmission is a four-speed manual unit, as this was the only option available in the entire lineup.

The car comes painted in a blue finish that looks absolutely beautiful and has a little over 95,500 miles (153,692 km) on the clock, according to the eBay listing posted by the folks over at Dusty Cars.

After all of these, it probably makes sense for such a rare find to be affordable. And of course, it really isn’t, as the current selling price on eBay is set to $159,950. If you want to see the Porsche in person, it’s parked in Pleasanton, California, but the garage says they’re also shipping it worldwide if the buyer doesn’t live in the United States.

1959 was the last year when the 356A was produced, as it was replaced by the 356B beginning with model year 1960.
