Porsche 356 Price

The Porsche 356 for sale is one of the first production cars built by Porsche between 1948 and 1965. The original Porsche 356 price in 1948 for the coupe was about $3,750, and the cabriolet cost just $500 more. These days, a Porsche 356 coupe in good condition can fetch over US $75,000-100,000, with a convertible in collectible condition selling for half a million dollars or more.

The Porsche 356 was offered as a 2-door coupe, as the 356 convertible, and 2-door roadster. Well-loved in the coupe and open-top variations, the Porsche 356 has consistently garnered praise as a lightweight and agile, rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicle. During the first two years of production, starting in 1948, 60 Porsche 356s were built by hand in Austria. The production plant then relocated to Stuttgart, Germany, where the rest of the Porsche 356s were manufactured.
Of the 76,000 Porsche 356S produced, some estimates say that approximately half of these sturdy cars have managed to survive. Almost half of those vehicles made it to America, and 40% of those wound up in California.

The Porsche 356 remains a highly collectible specimen. Many earlier models may lack air conditioning and modern safety equipment. Still, they are excellent vintage race cars that are reliable and quite fast compared to other vehicles of that class. Most working Porsche 356 vehicles will get good gas mileage and manage to keep up with freeway traffic fairly easily.
