Thanks for taking a look at our 1962 Porsche 356 Reutter Coupe Project.

As shown in the video, this car was pulled from long term storage in June 2024 along with another car that has already been sold.

Aside from having misplaced the engine, the car is a time capsule. It is ready for a revival and may just be that winter project that pays off when you are done. Going electric? What a great start.

Exterior.

Tired but honest paint. No accident damage is seen

Wheels

Standard 356 wheels. New tires.

Engine

None. Gone to power a cabriolet many years ago we heard. According to the Kardex, if you find engine number 608465, the value on this car goes way way up.

Engine parts

Check our other auctions! We have some of the correct parts you will want if going back to stock. I think we have a fuel tank.

Transmission

Manual 741

Odometer

The odometer shows 52178

Documentation

Clear and clean California title. Note: The title was missing as was the vin tag. The VIN is correct and present under the hood. The car has been put through the California CHP system and has a replacement VIN tag that shows the correct, original VIN is retained.

Shipping

Yes we can help. Clean title for export. Send your info and we’ll get you a quote.

Please come inspect this great car before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. Please keep in mind that this is a used car project. It is not a new car and will not be fresh and perfect like that new soul sucking camry your aunt Betty drives. If that’s what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car.
