If the rusty tub we featured yesterday looked like a little too much work, then may we suggest this 356 instead? It’s not perfect, but it appears to be a nice driver that could be enjoyed right away. There are still some things that need attention, but that’s part of the fun. You will just have to ask yourself which one makes more sense financially. The other car is cheaper, but will cost more in the long run. This one is more, but is complete and drivable right now. It’s located in Chicago, Illinois and is listed here on eBay for $58,500 or best offer.
Well,
you might want to do something with that seat before doing any driving.
Not sure what happened there, but everything else looks good. The door
panels have been recovered and the carpet is original.
This 356B came standard with the 1600 flat-four. The earlier car’s base engine was the 1300 so this was a nice upgrade that improved drivability and fun factor.
This one has suffered a color change, but it does looks pretty good in the photos. There’s some damage that needs fixed, but the paint is a factory color so it should be fixable without a full respray. Oh, who am I kidding? If you have the money to buy this car, you can probably afford to have it professionally repaired. Just don't go too fancy or you’ll be afraid to drive it!
