Great car for someone that wants to DRIVE a really nice 356.

The pictures taken in the same shop where it was restored 30 years ago. Sorry for no “Beauty Picture” in front of somebody else’s mansion. When I took pictures outside it just looked white. No detailing was done before the pictures were taken. I just blew off the dust underneath with an air hose and wiped the car down with Speed Shine. If I didn’t mention this was a 30-year-old restoration you would never know it. Just mechanically “refreshed” after sitting for a while. I was able to take some pictures when the gas tank was out, so you can see areas you wouldn’t normally see. Could be turned into a full concours winner with a little detailing underneath for those so inclined. I tried every switch/function. See notes below.

Known History

The car came to Texas with the previous owner in 1982 and has been serviced at the same shop since. In about 1985 the owner started a restoration. The current owner purchased the car during the restoration and finished it in 1988 (replacing his other 356). He found the air conditioning in his 928S4 more suited to south Texas and the 356 was rarely driven.

The Legal Stuff

I am not the owner, a dealer or broker. I am listing the car for a friend. I hate 'surprises' and will list any flaws that see or know of. The car is available for inspection at the independent shop where it was restored and maintained for 35 years in the San Antonio area.

The car is 55 years old and is being sold without a warranty of any kind.

The car is for sale locally and on other sites. I will end this auction early if we have a firm buyer. As mentioned below, I’ve had several non-paying buyers on eBay in the past, therefor;

A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSITof $500 must be paid via PayPal within 48hours unless other arrangements have been made between buyer and seller. If there is no contact within 48 hours of the auction ending the auction will be canceled. I’m amazed how many non-paying bidders there are on eBay. Apparently, it’s a game for some people.

SHIPPING

I will assist (not financially) with shipping to the United States ONLYfrom San Antonio Texas.

I will not consider international sales/shipping at this time, if I don’t find a buyer in a month I may reconsider.
