SUMMARY

The Porsche 356 Speedster was born from a simple yet radical idea: a lightweight, minimalist sports car designed to deliver pure driving pleasure. Introduced in 1954 at the behest of Porsche’s U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster quickly became an icon. Its sleek, low-profile windshield, bucket seats, and spartan interior were crafted for spirited driving. Beloved by celebrities and racing legends alike, including Steve McQueen and James Dean, the Speedster embodies an era when simplicity equaled speed and style.

This Speedster wears original paint and interior and highly desirable Rudge ‘knock-off” wheels. This 356 was the personal car of John Willhoit, of Willhoit Restoration—world-renowned for 356 expertise. Untouched and original when discovered, it received a comprehensive mechanical preservation while leaving the exterior, interior, and undercoating untouched, maintaining its authentic patina. Opportunities like this are rare.
