1958 Porsche 356a Convertible D Will It Run?

I try to get a 1958 Porsche 356a Convertible D that has run in years running again. This is a very special and rare Drauz built air cooled Porsche 356 that has been hidden away for many years.

I was wondering when you'd get to the Porsche.. glad to hear it run albeit a bit rough. I bought home a B engine from Germany back in the 70s and spent many years rebuilding it and using it my various VWs... great video.

My dream car right there.

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes for sure that is a cool car

[@MTSVW]

What a great car, it seems complete and original-just the way I like them. Too bad somebody damaged the bodywork trying to jack it up. It even has the old style rebuildable fuel pump. I tried rebuilding my Beetle’s pump like that, but the holes in the replacement diaphragm weren’t punched correctly and it always leaked out one of the screw holes so I abandoned it for a period incorrect modern sealed one. You must’ve found a supplier of higher quality rebuild kits than I did. Love the connectors on those older style metal fuel lines.

Awesome! I’ve only had experience with one “D” in my lifetime (besides at shows)
Beautiful car!!!!

I can't believe how clean the engine bay is!
Just found this old one, Steve, great fun!

Beautiful car basically a VW Beetle engine with twin carbs these Porsches used rust out in the UK most of the ones here now are Californian imports great video🇬🇧👍👍

It may have been first sold in 1958 but the "Convertible D" was a "one year only" 1959 model. A fully restored one, because of that rarity, sold for over a quarter million dollars!

Given the value of 356s even 20 years ago, I’m surprised it has been abandoned for so long.

What happened with this one, Steve?

[@mikego18753]

[@johndavey72]

So Steve. Is this a business or a full time hobby. I.e. do customers come to you or do you go out hunting for classics?
