Gorgeous, newly restored California Title 1955 Porsche Speedster, Santa Barbara barn find offered for sale.

Please visit http://adbrvl.co/1lsGOJj for additional images.

The body of this car was found in excellent condition, with no rust and ready for bodywork and paint. The body has been very well protected; after a thorough preparation and priming with Poli-primer, sealant was applied to all joints; bed liner was applied to underbody, floor, and trunk and engine compartment.

If you are interested in working on a car to reach concourse level, this is the perfect candidate. It has a solid and undisturbed body as you can see by the images prior to painting (link to images at bottom of page), new YnZ harness installed, upholstery was done by Autos International and John Willhoit provided the PPG single stage concept paint color to match certificate. (all of these well recognized by the Porsche 356 community) Attention to the overhaul was diligent from the beginning; images of the process have been included (see image link).

The speedster was restored with the idea of it being a weekend car, for greater power and enjoyment I installed a 912 engine that runs very nicely. This was done to enjoy the car but since I wanted to keep the option of exhibiting in the future, I had the original engine inspected by a Porsche 356 mechanic. The carburetors were cleaned and reassembled with new gaskets, new plugs, oil etc. Engine runs and it is kept on a stand (images via link), original engine needs some work to have in exhibition condition, this original engine (see pictures) that came with he car has matching numbers. I also kept all the original parts (original 16" wheels, shine down light, engine, side door armrests, ignition switch, ignition button, headlight grills and headlights, etc. images of these parts provided upon request).

Matching number transmission.

Certificate of authenticity from Porsche will be provided, stating that the car was a 1955 Speedster with a 1500 engine, beige interiors and Speedster blue color.

I am posting some pictures of the process the car went through; pictures describe the process better than words… You will see that the car started in a very solid state and was meticulously restored with attention to detail throughout.…enjoy the pictures and reach out with questions.

Images are great and tell the story of this Speedster quite well but there is nothing like appreciating in person. Schedule a visit to inspect the car personally.
