This 1956 Porsche 356A Carrera 1500 GS Reutter coupe left the factory on February 11, 1956.
A restoration was subsequently performed, which included a repaint in blue and a number of modifications focused on performance and drivability.
A 2.0-liter Fuhrmann 4-cam engine from a Carrera 2 was sourced and rebuilt by Alan Klingen at The Stable.
The custom Type 741 4-speed manual gearbox was built with strengthened internals and a limited-slip differential from Vic Skirmants.
The car is also equipped with a sunroof, an 80-liter fuel tank, and a GT-style roll bar.
Aluminum-frame Speedster seats have been added along with wider alloy wheels, Marchal fog lamps, and a louvered aluminum deck lid.
Since the work was completed, the car has been driven sparingly and went on to receive top honors in the Special Interest Class at five 356 Club events.
Originally finished in Lago Green Metallic (5605), the car was repainted in a custom dark blue during the restoration.
The body was brought down to bare metal, and paint from Spies Hecker was applied.
HID bulbs have been added to the Marchal 7″ headlamps, which are installed behind Hella lenses.
A set of bumper-mounted amber fogs, also from Marchal, have been fitted.
The floor pans, longitudinals, closing panels, and battery box are believed to be original factory sheet metal.
Boyd Coddington manufactured the 15×5.5″ aluminum wheels, which wear a set of Bridgestone Potenzas.
Weight reduction for this GS includes the use of Plexiglas side and rear windows, as well as lightweight bumpers and an aluminum deck lid.
A set of Sigla glass side windows and regulators are included with the sale.
The cabin has been fitted with a pair of aluminum-frame Speedster seats trimmed in tan leather with blue piping.
Pull-strap windows and a GT-style roll bar have also been added, and the matching leather back seat and interior sunroof panel are included with the sale.
VDO instrumentation includes an 8,000 rpm tachometer and 160 mph speedometer.
A VDM steering wheel is equipped, and a short shifter was added.
32k miles are shown on the odometer, though the actual chassis mileage is unknown.
