About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Set up for rallies, and has done both the California Mille and the Colorado Grand. Good older paint. The side trim pieces don’t quite fit flush with the body. Clean interior. Tidy underneath. Not a show car but looks clean for a Porsche that has done long distances at speed. The mild modifications are also tasteful and add to the usability.

Market commentary

Modifications? It is likely that the original Normal engine was beaten into a pile of splinters, leaving a sound and restorable 356A Speedster shell. Why not make into a sound Super engined, front disc braked road car with a few personal upgrades to the driver's experience like the steering wheel and suspension upgrades? There was no reason not to and the result there is modest enough money for a correct Normal engined 356A Speedster; the upgrades are free and have had little effect on the car's value.
