  Delivered new to Hoffman Motors in New York, January 1, 1958 this

  Speedster quickly made its way to California where it remained with

  a long-term owner in very original condition. At some point in its

  life it received a re-paint to red over the original Fjord Green

  paint. In 2015, 84375 was discovered in static storage in a

  California with the front bumper removed. The overall condition was

  found to be very original throughout and a thorough mechanic

  service was performed to bring it back to roadworthiness. It was

  then sold to its next caretaker who performed a quality re-paint in

  its original 5705B Fjord Green color. In 2022 noted California

  Porsche service shop Markham Motor Works performed a major service

  in preparation for a CA Highway 1 road adventure. Records from

  2 total approximately $15,000.00.

  In 2023/24 a thorough inspection and detailing was performed

  including: Dry ice cleaning of the underside, new rubbers installed

  on the bumpers and door handles, new horn grills and rubbers, the

  steering wheel was restored, and a complete detail of the paint and

  preservation of the interior.

  Conceived to meet a specific price point, it was a Spartan

  purpose-built sporting machine with minimal equipment and no

  needless accoutrements. Speedsters included a revised windshield

  that significantly lowered the look of the car. A chrome strip down

  the side of the car was also added and gone were unnecessary items.

  With the reduced weight from the elimination of many trim items,

  these rakishly designed models are even more exciting and fun to

  drive.

  A 356 Speedster is an iconic sports car and a must have for any

  serious collection. It qualifies for numerous touring events and

  shows around the world, dressed in Fjord Green this stunning

  example is ready for its next adventure!
