Equipment
Chrome wheels, Michelin MX blackwall tires, Nardi wood-rim steering wheel, radio delete, Weber carbs, K&N air filters.
Condition
Represented as an all original, two-owner 3,753 mile car. Aside from a few nit picks (small paint chips where the top latches to the windshield header, some maintenance details in the engine compartment, dead sun visors) this is a delightful, original, meticulously maintained and preserved original Porsche.
Market commentary
The 356 SC is the ultimate evolution of the production Porsche before it was superseded by the 911. The originality of this 356 SC is exceptional, and it induced the Houston bidders to pay more, and more, and even more than that, nearly 50% more than a meticulously restored example. But, as is observed time and again with crisp, well-maintained original cars, where will another so good show up? A magnanimous premium for originality, not to be confused with cars actually driven for the last half century.
