Equipment
1,582/75hp, 4-speed, hub caps, gold brightwork, woodrim steering wheel, Blaupunkt pushbutton radio.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as matching numbers. Apparently bought new by actor Christopher Lloyd, who isn't exactly a car guy but enjoyed this Porsche for 45 years. Two big cracking stone chips on the nose. Small dent in the left side of the front bumper. Largely original paint with some touchups and possibly partial overpaint. Sizable paint blisters on each rear fender. Very good original interior. Very tidy underneath. In driver condition, but also an almost completely original Southern California car and one of the very last 356s built.
Market commentary
This is very strong money for one of these cars, owing more to the very impressive state of preservation than any celebrity connection. It is a fine car for Porsche preservation events, or just to be driven and enjoyed.
