Equipment
Dual Solex carbs, steel wheels with hub caps, whitewalls, black cloth boot cover, Telefunken pushbutton radio.
Condition
One of 228 Continental Cabriolets built. Very good paint. Very clean engine bay. Slightly dull older chrome. Very good, lightly worn upholstery. Restoration completed in 2005 then got another round of cosmetic and mechanical attention in 2009. Fitted with a non-original engine. Showing a bit of age, but still presentable.
Market commentary
The Continental was a one-year-only trim package that got buyers in the North American market nothing more than a few gold badges that said "Continental". Ford quickly pressured Porsche into abandoning that word, so now Continentals are an interesting, collectible footnote for pre-A 356s. Even with the rarity of this car, the result here was ample for a good but admittedly older restoration.
