was parked and fitted with Norwegian plates. It was sold to a farmer on

to run a saw and the car was parked in a shed. It was advertised in the
early ‘80s in a major newspaper and sold to a dentist in Oslo with no
engine. The dentist stored it in a barn south of Oslo and kept it for a
few years only. A Porsche collector in Norway bought it and sold it
directly to Germany. It then went straight to the U.S.

Chassis list shows exported to Sweden (Scania Vabis) and date of July
18, 1950. Status (01/2011) - Imported into U.S. from Sweden around March 1974. The steel parts were very rusty and the front bumper missing. The aluminum was rough and there was repaired accident damage in the front. Car otherwise complete and together, including the original interior. It appears to have been a French vanilla color with a red interior. It was one of the early Scania Vabis cars and was white with one red and one blue "racing" stripe down the middle of the car. There is a license plate number painted on the back, very official looking (S-39884).
Car currently in the U.S. and per owner the date it entered the U.S. officially was 8 April
1974. It was signed off by Customs on 12 April 1974 when it was picked up at the dock in Baltimore. The title on car says 1949, probably because of the import documents, which said 1949. |

Coupe now stamped with chassis
356/2-055 but last digit of original number was ground out and replaced
with a “5”. Based on retained data plate apparently originally
356/2-058. Configured as SL in Zuffenhausen for 1952 race season.
Believed to have been car #47 at 1952 Le Mans race. Note that body
number would have been more likely associated with chassis number
356/2-051 but since chassis and bodies not built concurrently that
difference in sequence is not unexpected.
Status (2006) --
Car in U.S. and not drivable. |

Notes:
1 - Green shading indicates car
is still in existence.
2 – Data includes body number,
builder of body (B), and location of final assembly (F). When Porsche
Salzburg opened in late 1949 most and possibly all remaining aluminum
car work was transferred to Salzburg. Fabrication of body panels and
body assembly may have remained in Gmünd through mid 1950. All chassis
numbers 806/XX assumed built by Austro-Tatra GmbH Wien (Vienna)
Simmering, Austria.
3 –
Engine numbers on the Austrian cars are in the form 356-X-YYYYYY. The X
values were 1, 2, 6 or 7 and in all likelihood this initially equated to
the Volkswagenwerk engine type: 1 = Beetle engine, 2 = Kübelwagen
engine, 6 = Industrial Motor and 7 = Schwimmwagen. The YYYYYY digits
were the serial number and it is easy to see where it changed from a
Volkswagenwerk assigned number to a Porsche assigned number. After this
change took place only 356-1 and 356-2 engines were installed in cars
but the limited examples still existing do not support the idea that
relates to engine type. Another interesting observation is that Porsche
initially used Volkswagen aluminum cases and later switched to using
Volkswagen magnesium cases. This switch occurred sometime after Porsche
returned to Germany but the exact timing and rationale is not known.
4 – Earliest documented date.
5 – Herbert Kaes chassis list
was prepared in early 1951 to record customer purchased vehicles. Other
contemporary information indicates that list is not 100% accurate.
6 – Indicates data is the
deduction of the author.
7 – Conradt information first
published in Porsche 356, Driving
in its Purest Form by Dirk-Michael Conradt. Uwe Biegner Beutler
information first published in
356 Registry Volume 21, Number 1.
8 – Body number and body builder information taken from internal
office memo dated May 2, 1951 (provided by Steve Heinrichs).
