This '59 A 1600 Coupe has been in the same family since early 1960. The second owner, an engineer employed at a local Pulp & Paper mill in Tacoma, WA used this car to drive to work on nice days and while parked at work, he would use a car cover to protect the paint. The next owner, his son, drove the car sparingly and it usually sat in the garage for months at a time and used only on nice days, three weeks out of the year.
With the car came many spare parts, books, and numerous "Christmas Gifts" given to Dad to support and enhance the joy of ownership of this little car. The seller told me; "I gave this book to my Dad when I was 19. He loved this book and all the other presents we gave him over the years for this car." I might be a sucker, but, don't really care since these kinds of relationships are important to me.
This car needs some TLC on the paint, brakes and clutch. The engine seems to be in great shape with a rebuild in the early part of 1980. Interior is original for the most part and needs to be cleaned and with the described work completed, this car will be a great driver.
Local car, local history, a perfect car to add to the list of Porsches in the stable.

I'm loving the vintage license frame

Wonder if that business survives today...
Got the 64' back on the road in late summer. Had a little time before it just got too cold to enjoy. Luckily our winters are short... Few details left but I'm super excited. I haven't driven the car since 95'.
