This 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster is said to have been refurbished by Weldon Scrogham approximately 25 years ago and spent time in a collection before it was listed on BaT in April 2021. The car is finished in green over tan leatherette, and power comes from a rebuilt replacement 1,720cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a tan soft top and matching side curtains as well as a high-torque starter, dual Zenith carburetors, leather hood straps, and headlight grilles. This 356A Speedster was acquired by the selling dealer in 2021 and is now offered with a tool roll and a clean Indiana title.
