This 1958 Porsche 356A Speedster was refurbished before being acquired by the current owner in 2007. It is powered by a replacement 1.6-liter SC flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle and is finished in Ruby Red over black leather. Equipment includes a black canvas soft top, 15″ Rudge knock-off wheels, a driver-side mirror, body-color bumpers, a cabin heater, and bucket seats. Work in preparation for the sale included performing a valve adjustment as well as replacing the spark plugs, plug wires, and fan belt. Previously offered on BaT in July 2026, this Speedster is now offered again in Waltham, Massachusetts, on consignment by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, and will be displayed among five vehicles by BaT at the inaugural Retromobile New York, taking place November 19-22 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. The sale includes a copy of the Kardex, a tool roll, a knock-off hammer, and a clean Florida title.
The body came finished from the factory in Ruby Red (5802) and was repainted some time prior to 2007. Features include a removable black canvas soft top, a driver-side mirror, removable side curtains, and body-color bumpers.
The 15″ Rudge knock-off wheels are mounted with 165/15 Michelin tires. The car was factory equipped with drum brakes at each corner.
The fixed-back bucket seats are upholstered in black leather with red piping, and interior appointments include black square-weave carpets, latch-and-link lap belts, a cabin heater, a passenger-side grab handle, and a body-color painted dashboard.
The wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel frames a central 6k-rpm tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, and a combination gauge monitoring oil temperature and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 98k miles, approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership.
The replacement 1.6-liter flat-four was sourced from a 1964 356SC and installed some time ago. An oil change was performed in 2026. Work in preparation for the sale included performing a valve adjustment as well as replacing the spark plugs, plug wires, and fan belt.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
The copy of the Kardex lists the factory colors and serial numbers along with a build date of July 28, 1958.
