This 356 Cabriolet Super is adorned with the very rare and seldom
seen golden "European" fender script, affixed to only the earliest
1956 Porsche cars destined for the American market. Porsche
ultimately discontinued the "Continental" model after pressure from
Ford Motor Company at the end of the 1955 model year, producing the
"European" for just a few months (and using up pre-drilled fenders
intended for the "Continental," as legend has it).
This well documented car come with the Kardex Porsche warranty
information sheet which includes the ignition and door lock number
and keys that remain with the car today. Also Karosserie Reutter
Certificate of Production which in great detail specifies exactly
how this car was built and with what exact equipment.
As of spring of 2020 the European is beginning the restoration
process starting with complete disassembly and sandblasting. The
car is original and complete with the exception of the door glass,
transmission, wheel covers and wheels.
The 356 Cabriolet European Super comes with a clean California
title.
At this time we would accept offers to purchase it in its
pre-restoration condition for a minimum of $120,000.
