1959 Porsche 356A Convertible for Sale in South Carolina

This 1959 Porsche 356A Convertible D has been creatively modified to replicate the look and feel of a Speedster, combining classic styling with some performance-focused updates. The rear panel was also reworked to accommodate “beehive” taillights, and a louvered engine lid was added for that iconic Speedster appearance. The car now features Speedster-style exterior trim, including the iconic Speedster side trim and badging. A lowered Speedster-style windscreen and doors without roll-up windows complete the transformation, giving it that sporty, stripped-back look that’s synonymous with the Speedster model. A black soft top sourced from the donor Speedster was fitted, and side curtains are included for added convenience. The car doesn’t feature an exterior side-view mirror, staying true to the minimalist Speedster aesthetic. Powering this modified 356A is a 1.6-liter Super 90 flat-four engine, fitted with twin Solex carburetors and topped with Knecht air cleaners. The engine is mated to a four-speed transaxle, ensuring the car drives like a classic Porsche.
