Recognized globally as Porsche's very first production automobile, the 356 was a rear-engined sports car that was built between 1948 and 1965 before being replaced by the 911 series. To many, the 356 is considered to be the foundation of Porsche automobiles, with its styling and design layout being passed down to current models as well. Well known for its nimbleness and aerodynamic capabilities, the 356 quickly become a favorite amongst motorsport enthusiasts, but it was the class win at Le Mans in 1951 that put this car on the map.

Porsche’s first-ever production model, the 356 was a lightweight and nippy sports car that debuted in 1948. Coming in at just under 158 inches long and a smidge over 65 inches wide, it was a truly compact thing that could easily be threaded along narrow roads. It sported an air-cooled flat-four engine in the tail, and wasn’t that much of a departure from the Volkwagen Beetle. No surprise, since Ferdinand Porsche had a hand in the Beetle’s development too. Over 76,000 original 356s were made, but far fewer survive today. That means if you want an original car in reasonable condition, you’ve got to be prepared to pay top-dollar for it. Thankfully, the replica market has you covered, with gems such as this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster 1600 Super Replica. Built by Vintage Speedsters and assembled in 2008, this car is up for sale with a mere 9,300 miles on the odometer. It originally started it's life as a 1974 Volkswagen. So, why not buy it and make it your weekend toy? It’s a fine thing that will show you the beauty of driving a classic automobile, without the typical headaches that typically come with classic car ownership.
The Porsche 356 was the first ever commercial model that Porsche made, debuting in 1950. Sharing some common components with the Volkswagen Beetle (which Ferdinand Porsche himself had a hand in), the two cars couldn’t be more divergent in purpose and persona. While the Beetle is a friendly, cute, family car, the Porsche 356 is a lightweight, nimble-handing sports car. It was made in coupe and convertible (Speedster) forms. This makes the 356 one of the most sought-after classic cars these days. It’s not unheard of for mint specimens to fetch high six, or even seven-figure prices. Thankfully, there are plenty of excellent replicas around for those who want the 356 driving experience, but aren’t too fussed about purity. We’ve got to say that this 2007 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica up for sale right now is one of the best replicas that we’ve seen. If it speaks your language, don’t delay; call us ASAP.
Kit cars are a more economical way of owning an exotic classic that is hard to find or has become too expensive for most people to buy. The VW Beetle has always been a popular base used by kit car makers thanks to its versatility and easy availability. The Porsche 356 was closely related to the VW Beetle and shared mechanical components with it. The 356’s designer was inspired by a supercharged Beetle Cabriolet he had at the end of WWII and wanted to build a fast rear-engine, air-cooled, 4-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive car. The 356 was introduced in 1948 and produced (with changes) till the mid-60s. In one and a half decades of production, less than 77,000 356s are said to have been built, contributing to its desirability as a collector’s car. The 365 A (which was the model made from 1955-1959) has become a popular car for creating replicas of (such as this one, which is labeled as a 1958 model).
The Porsche 911 started out in 1964 with an air-cooled engine and a fun-to-drive demeanor. Then, turbo models and special editions came, and Porsche had created a legacy. Over the past many decades, the 911 has grown, evolved and become more sporty and luxurious. Its engine switched to water cooling in 1998, but has always remained in the tail of the car, slung out behind the rear axle. This makes for some entertaining handling characteristics for keen drivers to exploit. Today, we’ve got a 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S from the 997 generation up for sale with just 63,500 miles on the clock. The 997 generation was made between 2004 and 2013, and is considered to be an excellent place to start if you’re searching for your first 911 but don’t want to buy brand-new. This Phoenix-located car also comes with all servicing up to date.
Do you want a 911? Of course you do, or else you wouldn’t be browsing Exotic Car Trader. Anyone who’s looking at a car site that deals in exotic, uncommon and interesting cars is most likely a petrolhead. And majority of petrolheads have a desire – open, or secret – to own a 911 at some point in their lives. That’s because few sports cars have been as impactful as Porsche’s Greatest Hit. Introduced in 1964 with an air-cooled engine mounted in a spicy rear-engined configuration, the 911 is truly a treat to drive, and a challenge too. Later models became tamer, and switched to water cooling. Here’ we’ve got one of those cars from the first era of water cooling, a 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet from Florida with a bit over 57,000 miles to its name. With a manual transmission, it’s a great driving experience, and with its drop-top, makes for a fine cruiser too. So why not pick it up from us?
Owning a Porsche 911 is a dream for many, especially one of the classic air-cooled variants. Introduced in September 1964, few sports cars have had such an impact as the Porsche 911. Its iconic teardrop shape and rear-mounted engine continue even in 2025. Initially sporting a naturally aspirated engine, Porsche started slapping on a turbo at the factory in 1975. The 930 generation was the first to have forced induction, and these are fearsome cars that really test the mettle of a driver. So, if you’re up for a challenge, we’ve got a 16,025-mile 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo for sale with Porsche-certified authenticity, a host of new parts, and all documentation from a Porsche mechanic as reported by the current owner. Living in Fairfield, California, this car is not one for the meek or weak. Treat it right, and it will give you unmatched driving pleasure.
