In today’s market, vintage cars hold a special allure for collectors due to their unique style and the patina of rust that develops over time. This explains why seemingly abandoned, heavily damaged cars still fetch incredibly high prices, like the Porsche 356 A Speedster shown below.
One of the most coveted classic Porsche models ever created is the 356 A Speedster. Depending on its rarity and condition, a well-preserved Porsche 356 A Speedster can reach prices as high as $250,000 or 5.62 billion VND. Models in slightly lesser condition typically sell for around $200,000 or 4.5 billion VND.
This particular Porsche 356 A Speedster, a 1955 T1 version, recently changed hands for $152,700 or 3.4 billion VND. It is the 212th unit out of a total production run of 1,850.
Despite being almost completely rusted, it didn’t deter a determined collector from acquiring this Porsche 356 A Speedster T1 1955 for a considerable sum.
According to the owner, the cost of replacing the body panels of the Porsche 356 A Speedster T1 1955 is around $20,000 or 450 million VND.
In addition to the body panels, the cost of replacing other missing parts of the car is approximately $30,000 or 674 million VND.
Equipped with a 1960 S-90 engine that has been “overhauled but never installed,” the Porsche 356 A Speedster T1 1955 will require a substantial amount of money to fully restore.
Currently, it is uncertain whether the investment in this car will eventually be justified, especially since some original parts are still missing.
