The first ever production car from iconic German automaker Porsche was the 356. It was made between 1948 and 1965, and was the brainchild of Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche. Over 76,000 were made, and today, it’s estimated that approximately half of that contingent survives. However, getting your hands on an original 356 is quite tough, not to mention expensive. These cars regularly move for six-figure sums of money. That’s why replicas are a great way to get in on the action if you really want a 356, but aren’t too fussed about originality. Here, we have a 1956 Porsche 356A Convertible Replica that’s reportedly built in 1969. The work was completed by Hicks VW Services, because the Porsche 356 and Volkswagen Beetle have some commonalities.

Very few cars from the 1970s have the reputation of the first-generation Porsche 911 Turbo. This 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) is an early U.S.-specification example showing approximately 103,898 miles and carrying VIN 9306800195, placing it as the 195th U.S.-market 930 in the 1976 VIN sequence. Porsche introduced the Turbo to North America for the 1976 model year, and this car belongs to the original 3.0-liter generation produced before the larger 3.3-liter Turbo arrived for 1978. Finished in White over a Black leather interior, this example combines the early single-turbo drivetrain with the signature wide rear fenders and factory whale-tail spoiler that made the 930 instantly recognizable. It also features a Rennsport-style front bumper, upgraded Porsche alloy wheels, factory-style air conditioning, a sunroof, and period Porsche equipment. According to the seller, this example has remained under the same ownership for the last 24 years, adding an appealing element of long-term provenance to one of Porsche’s most important early turbocharged road cars. Porsche states that 2,850 3.0-liter Turbos were produced during the model’s first three years, while specialist production records list 530 U.S.-specification examples for the 1976 model year.
