Used 1956 Porsche 356 for Sale near Portland, OR

It's an old car that keeps up with modern traffic, no problem. Amazingly modern feel compared to any of it's contemporaries - will cruise a 75 with ease, tracks straight and brakes better than you would ever expect. It's got the finned aluminum drums. Driving a 356 in modern traffic is a bit scary with it's 1950's safety features - ie. none. So, I drive it like a motorcycle, stay as far away from SUV's as possible and added 4-point shoulder harness and an LED brake light. I have the original engine stored out of the car and had a big bore 912 motor built for it. Thats good for about 100 HP I guess. Compared to the original 60, it's a big improvement. It's just so much fun to drive. Original interior is in great shape - hard to believe, but being only the 3rd owner and with only 77,000 miles after 57 years it's not too surprising... I love the big V-sunroof from the earlier pre-A model (couldn't afford a speedster). It was a "must have" feature that took me 5 years to find in a beehive 356A, so it's pretty rare. The sunroof is original to this car per Porsche COA.

Great car, had many Porsche models loved the 356 spyder

Fun car, perfectly suited to temperate climate for year round driving here in Bay Area outskirts. SC engine gave it more pop, but I shouldn't have sold off the original engine...Woulda, coulda, shoulda! Imagine buying a speedster for less than $3K
