bulletSOLD  for 184,100.00 Up for sale is this 1952, titled as a 1953 all original Porsche 356 Cabriolet. This once in a lifetime find and my be one of only a few survivors has only 30,498 original miles Chassis # 15040, thats #40 out of 140 made that year. Purchased in 1960, the vehicle has been stored indoors for the last 48 years, never raced, never wrecked. All original hand crafted body with very little surface rust and no rust through. The original color was a battleship color gray and was repainted to its current color of silver in the late 1950's. The original color is evidenced by the original set of rims with original tires which are included with the sale.
The engine #30634 which is a 1500 cc 4 cyl. is the original (and it is my understanding the first year for the 1500cc) has been maintained by the current owner. The engine runs very well and sounds strong. The dual carbs were rebuilt a few years ago. All components of the engine are original with exception of the exhaust which was replaced.
The interior of the 356 has the original blue leather door panels, dash, carpet, steering wheel, radio etc... The seats were recovered with leather (originally had leather seats) in 1975. It is my understanding that the radio itself was an extremely rare option. Original jump seat behind the front seats is the original. The boot cover for the conv. top was replaced.
The original sun visors were replaced with a different style but are complete and included with the sale as evidenced in the photos.
The fuel tank is original and is in great shape. The original fuel gauge which is a wooden stick, which was placed into the fuel tank to measure the fuel level is also included, check photos. The original euro style headlamps were replaced with a newer style with a less expensive replaceable bulb, the original euro lamps are also included. All other exterior lights are the original.
The convertible top is the original but has not been up in 30 years. The top is complete. All the glass is original and is bright and clear.
The original complete tool kit, jack and owners manual are included and shown in the photos.
This extremely rare all original 1953 Porsche Cabriolet may never again in your life time be found like this in this shape. Serious inquires only. This 356 is being sold through me on ebay for owner. Any questions that I cannot answer will be forwarded to the owner. Good Luck. JON 630-553-8744 rt34@starmerc.com
