Vehicle Details

This beautiful classic Porsche is in for a spa day at Farland Classic Restoration. Our paint and detail experts are giving it a once-over with polish and pad. Our paint restoration team is second to none.

The 1959 Porsche 356A 1600 Super represents the pinnacle of Porsche’s first-generation sports car, blending refined performance with timeless styling. As part of the 356A lineup, the 1600 Super was an upgraded version of the standard model, featuring a 1.6-liter, air-cooled flat-four engine that produced 75 horsepower—offering a more spirited driving experience than its lower-powered counterparts. This lightweight coupe or cabriolet maintained Porsche’s signature rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, ensuring nimble handling and a connected feel on the road. The 356A’s updated suspension and four-speed manual transmission made it a joy to drive, while subtle exterior refinements, including teardrop-style taillights and a curved windshield, added to its elegance. By 1959, the 356A had reached its final production year, setting the stage for the next evolution, the 356B. Today, the 356A 1600 Super remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, cherished for its engaging performance, exquisite craftsmanship, and historical significance in Porsche’s lineage.

If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself. Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car, and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see ‘where the magic happens.’ If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
