  • The word “iconic” is often overused, but it certainly applies to the 356 Speedster, one of the most famous Porsches and inarguably one of the most significant, recognizable sports cars ever produced.

    Like many famous performance machines of its time, the Speedster was essentially willed into being by the powerful New York-based foreign car impresario, Max Hoffman, who convinced Porsche’s powers-that-be that a convertible with bare-bones appointments, sold at a low cost, would appeal to American buyers. He was right, and the Speedster achieved tremendous success—not only in the US, but in Europe as well, and on both road and track. It was steadily upgraded, with the 356 A offering a larger 1600 engine and 75 brake horsepower in optional Super tune. In such a car, 100 mph was possible, a real experience with the Speedster’s rudimentary “emergency” top and extremely low windshield!

    The magnificent 1956 Porsche 356 A 1600 Speedster featured here was delivered new on February 17th, 1956 in Southern California, finished in classic and highly desirable silver metallic over black leather interior with matching convertible top, this incredible motorcar was subject to a comprehensive show quality restoration and has been part of my personal collection the last three years; I acquired the this investment-grade matching number 356 Speedster from the famed Southern California collection of Ronald Burkle. This exquisite example still retains its original matching numbers engine and transmission which on a Speedster is almost unheard of! Incredible opportunity to acquire what we believe to be one of the very best investment-grade Porsche 356 A 1600 Speedster’s on the market today. For the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who aspires to own the very best!

    Financing

    Finance rates as low as 8.9%.


    We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.


    We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.


    Terms available up to 144 Months


    If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com
