This 1951 Porsche 356 Pre-A coupe was supposedly prepared for racing by factory race technician Harry Weber in Stuttgart when nearly new. It participated in the 1982 and 1998 Monterey Historics and has been invited to run again this year when Porsche is the featured marque. The car features some trick race-prep techniques, the proper split case style 1500cc engine, and looks terrific in black.The car is said to only weigh 1480lbs at this point.

These new 356 Porsches had 4-digit chassis numbers and were numbered 5001-5600. Of the 600 cars produced, 53 were Glaser bodied Cabriolets, 12 were Reutter bodied Cabriolets and 535 were Reutter Coupes. The cars were fitted with either a Type 369 1100cc engine or the Type 506 1300cc engine. Of the 12 Reutter Cabriolets produced in the initial batch of steel 356’s only 5 are known to still exist. According to the Split Window Registry these carry chassis numbers #5014, #5033, #5134, #5135 and #5138.

Porsche Car 1949
There were a total of 47 units produced between 1948 and 1950. Four Gmund coupes were built in 1948. Twenty-five were produced in 1949 and 18 were produced in 1950. This brings the total number of cars produced to 51. The coupe’s most distinctive feature is its split windshield. It has mechanical brakes and is powered by an 1100 cc, 40 horsepower air-cooled engine, with two Solex carburetors. The Gmund features original chrome and upholstery, which gives it just the right patina. The engine has been rebuilt and the car has been repainted in its original color (based on an original early paint sample).
First Porsche Car
In July 1948 the world caught the first glimpse of the Porsche 356 Roadster. The small two-seater was the first car to bear the Porsche name. The new Porsche received universal acclaim from journalists and won its class at its very first race. The sport’s cars exotic mid-engined spaceframe chassis was however too expensive and complicated for mass-production. Ferry Porsche had already realized this before Porsche #1 was completed and started the development of a less labor intensive production car. Even though the second Porsche was only remotely related to the original, the 356 name was retained.
