This 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster was a remarkable barn find that arrived at our shop in a pretty sad state - held together with bubble gum and duct tape, as they say. Recognizing the inherent beauty and potential of this classic, we embarked on a meticulous ground-up revival.
The restoration process was extensive, involving the replacement of 80% of the sheet metal to ensure structural integrity and authenticity. Every detail was carefully considered to maintain the car's original charm, while enhancing its performance and aesthetics.
A highlight of this restoration is the preservation of the numbers-matching engine and transmission, a testament to the car's storied past and originality. These components were expertly rebuilt to factory specifications, ensuring that the Speedster runs as smoothly and powerfully as it did when it first left the assembly line.
The interior pays homage to the original design with a subtle twist. We've retained the classic style, but added a plush feel, blending nostalgia with modern comfort. The result is an interior that not only looks true to the period, but also provides a luxurious driving experience.
This 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster stands as a shining example of what can be achieved with passion, expertise, and a deep respect for automotive history. It's not just a car; it's a reinvigorated masterpiece!
