Description
This 1958 Porsche 356A Speedster was refurbished and modified in 2022 by Willhoit Auto Restoration of Long Beach, California, including the installation of a 2.2L flat-four, a front oil cooler, four-wheel disc brakes, and a WEVO five-speed manual transaxle. It rides on 15×5″ Tecnomagnesio wheels with Spax adjustable gas shocks, adjustable rear spring plates, and a 17.5mm front sway bar. The car is finished in Black over black leather and corduroy, and additional modifications include a stainless-steel exhaust system, an electric fuel pump, latch-and-link lap belts, and a 12-volt electrical system. Following the work, the car was featured in the September 2022 issue of Excellence magazine, and it was purchased by the current owner in 2023. This Speedster is now offered on dealer consignment with a copy of the Kardex, a Reutter Certificate of Production, refurbishment photos, and a clean Arizona title. The car is one of approximately 141 examples finished from the factory in Black (5801), and it was stripped, mounted to a rotisserie, and repainted during the aforementioned refurbishment. Additional equipment includes a removable black canvas soft top, removable side curtains, and body-color bumpers. The windshield wipers have been removed.
