This 1957 Porsche 356A Carrera is one of a limited number of coupes produced in lightweight GT specification and was sold new in Cuba. It was raced over the next year before being brought to Florida in 1959, and further competition use comprised The Players 200 in Canada in 1961 and the Pomona Road Races in 1963. The car is powered by a 912-sourced 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle and is finished in Aquamarine Blue over black vinyl and gray corduroy. Features include 15×5.5″ Boyd Coddington alloy wheels, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and fixed-back bucket seats.

The Carrera variant was introduced in 1955 with power from a derivation of the four-cam engine designed by Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann for use in Porsche’s competition efforts. In 1957, the Carrera offerings were divided into the GT and GS, or de Luxe, models, with the latter more luxuriously equipped for comfortable road use. Either Carrera specification could be chosen for coupe, cabriolet, or Speedster body styles.

This example came finished from the factory in Aquamarine Blue (5707) and was repainted during the aforementioned refurbishment.

The 15×5.5″ Boyd Coddington alloy wheels are mounted with Pirelli Cinturato tires measuring 175/70. Work in 2026 involved machining the brake drums, re-arching the shoes, and replacing the brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders, and hoses.
