1959 Porsche 356A Cabriolet with Kardex shows that the car is matching numbers with its factory affixed numbers on engine, transmission, and all panels- both doors, hood and engine lid as well as 4 correct date matched chrome wheel and hubcaps.
Long time ownership in North Carolina from 1965 to 2015 with 2 inch binder of documentation and receipts for service over the years. Excellent gaps on all panels, solid original floors and all closing panels.
Recent engine and transmission out for disassembly and inspection. Leak down test done on engine shows excellent with all cylinders at 95%; transmission shifts nicely in all 4 forward gears and in reverse. New clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing were installed. Re-seal on engine with new pulley and flywheel seal, all engine tin media blasted and painted correct satin black. Rebuilt correct date matched carbs as well as fuel pump, fuel valve and for the distributor-new points, cap, rotor, condensor, spark plugs and spark plug wires. All brakes disassembled and media blasted, new/rebuilt brake cylinders for all wheels, new master cylinder, new hard brake lines as well as new rubber brake lines, all brake parts media degreased and media blasted and painted. All gauges work: speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel level gauge, temperature gauge and lights: high and low beam, parking lights, brake lights, turn signals, dimmer lights and horn: all function correctly--even the dimmer on steering wheel center works as does horn.
Floors, battery box and closing panels are original and very solid. Gap on hood and doors and engine lid are excellent and hood has no kinks.
Vehicle comes with original hardtop and soft top frame that will need covering. Soft top frame is a reproduction and fits car very well. We have put the soft top frame on the car to show how well it fits.
Original jack with handle is with the car. We unfortunately did not receive the owners manual nor tool kit.
Original colors are white with red interior-a beautiful color combination.
