About this car
1953 Porsche 356 Pre-A Coupe listed on eBay in Astoria, NY. Listing shows White exterior. Asking price $97,500 on eBay.
What the photos show
- White paint is dull, stained and peeling, with rust breaking through both front arches, sills and lower doors — budget for a full body restoration, not a polish.
- Chrome bumpers and hubcaps are dull and surface-rusted in places — budget for re-chroming or replacement.
- Green seats are faded, mouldy-looking and worn, and the footwells show heavy rust and debris — budget for a complete retrim and floor work.
- Painted dash and gauges survive but the cabin around them is rusty and stripped-looking — budget for full interior restoration.
- Engine bay is heavily corroded, cans and fittings rusted and wiring tired — budget for a full engine rebuild before anything else.
- Only 8 photos and none on a lift — can't judge the underside directly, but the visible sill and floor rust says hold back the largest share of money for structural work.
- The car is complete-looking in outline, bumpers, glass and trim present — that completeness is what the money buys, not condition.
Money: At $97,500 this is a full restoration project — rusty arches, sills, floors and a corroded engine mean the restoration will cost well beyond the asking price, so price it as a complete early 356 shell and parts, nothing more.
