Stateside Super stowaway
In recent years, one of the models that seems to be reappearing in large numbers in barn-find form is the Porsche 356, and another example has just joined the stocklist of Gullwing Motor Cars in New York. The 1962 356 Super 90 is in its original colour scheme of Slate Grey with a red cloth interior and, although it has been fitted with a factory replacement engine, it has never been fully restored.
The Porsche was delivered new to a priest in Germany, and when he moved to the US in the early ’70s he took the 356 with him. He sold it to the most recent owner in 1978, who used it for some years before tucking it away in one of his barns. There it remained until collected by Peter Kumar of Gullwing, who described it as: “An incredibly honest and original Super 90 coupé to restore.”
