The seller claims that this 356 could be one of the most original ones left in the entire world! The dried out black paint made me think ratrod, but aside from the paint, this does look like a good start for someone who wants a 356A project. The original color scheme was a very attractive silver over red and this was a 1600 Super. Looks like the original engine was swapped out in 1965. Take a look here on eBay and let us know what you think about those originality claims.

There you can get a glimpse of the original color scheme. This was a very handsome car in its day and it makes you wonder why anyone would spray it back.

The engine may not be original, but the seller claims that it runs and is ready to be driven anywhere. Sure, this thing would be more desirable with a shiny new paint job, but at least you wouldn’t feel bad leaving it in the parking lot while you grab some groceries.

The seller’s originality claim seems bold, but I’m sure the majority of these early Porsches have either been restored or scrapped. This one will most likely get a full restoration too, but maybe that ratrod idea wasn’t so bad after all…
