- This is a 1964 Porsche 356 coupe. It's got the 1.6 liter flat four in it. And this is going to be on sale at the RM auction in Monterey, California around Pebble Beach week.
They're expecting it to go for $90,000 and $120,000. It is the original color combination. It's not the original paint, but it was originally painted in this green with the brown interior. It is the original engine and transmission that came with the car.
It is a 1964, so this is a 356 that would have been sold at the same time as the 911, which had just come out for this year. So in case you are one of the more stubborn Porche enthusiasts, you didn't have to buy a new 911. You could still get the tried and true pushrod flat four Porsche that had made the company famous for so many years.
