Price: US $125,000.00 SOLD OUT
I purchased this #53248 Coupe from a long time registry member (I myself am a long time registry member). The previous owner owned the car for 30 years and this car went to many, many Porsche gatherings. When I got the car it had the 1500 motor in it that came with the car when the previous owner purchased it 30+ years ago.. I put a big bore 912 motor with Webers in it so that it would keep up with traffic better. I have the 1500 motor in my garage. Both motors are included in the sale. The Kardex is a little “screwy†in the sense that it claimed that the motor this car came with was an early two-piece case early 1954 motor #33166. It seems to me that Porsche did not put that motor in this car (very unlikely). The existing motor is #35366. The transmission was rebuilt by Vic Skirmants at some point in the past. One very interesting thing about this car is that it was a factory delivery car - never going to a dealer. The motor designation in the Kardex says "Werks" meaning factory motor.. There is certainly some interesting history with this car but I do not know what it is. The car is completely solid and very straight. There is no rust other than maybe a little insignificant surface rust on parts of the undercarriage. It has never been in an accident and has all its original panels except for the battery box floor which was replaced because of corrosion from the battery by the last owner. The paint is presentable but should be replaced in the original colors/materials. The interior is somewhat rough. This is a completely unmolested, non-modified, never rusted, STRAIGHT, Pre-A. Drive it just the way it is or restore it (very easily) Please Note: Brake shoes should be replaced. You can drive it as is but one side is more "grabby" than the other until you stop a couple times, then they are fine..
