Porsche 359 (tribute to the classic Porsche 359 with Porsche959 accents).  This custom kit car was originally built in Florida and is titled as a 1990 Porsche Custom.

Car has roll up windows (Plexi-glass), which is a rare feature for the 356, and 359 replica cars. Engine was swapped out to a 1600cc in November of 2022 from a VW gearhead who builds engines in North Carolina. (Video of engine before purchased can be provided).  The original engine was I believe a 1500cc.  Fun car to drive; that I have had on the highway at a top speed of 75mph, which is impressive factoring the wide tires, and the mountainous roads. (Tires: Front– Kuhmo 225/50/15, and Rear Hankook 265/50/15), in almost new condition.  Note: switching to stock, or smaller wheels will increase the speed.

The 359 is a rare custom, and seldom up for sale.  I was told that the chassis was stretched for the build.  I purchased the car from 'Custom Auto Ogden, UT, in the event you had questions regarding the build. I have changed the brakes and added the Porsche radio.  All features work: Horn, Radio, Antenna, Wipers, High Beams.  The car comes with a convertible top which needs minor repair with the lock clamp; other than that convertible top is in good condition with no leaks.  Also has Tonneau cover.

Driven a total of 3 times since purchased, lost interested because I have a Boxster, 911, and 2 Porsche 928 (guess I prefer the speed over the unique body).  Lost interest and son is to tall for the car. 

This is a great opportunity to buy a unique automotive, that can be a real show car with some fine tuning, that turns heads when seen on the road. Every time driven I get a lot of compliments.
