Buy a classic Porsche 356

Anyone looking to buy a classic Porsche 356 wants the very first production model of the Porsche brand – built from 1948 to 1965, air-cooled, rear-driven and still one of the most sought-after collector's pieces in automotive history. On Kickdown you will find curated 356 classics in online auctions, from the 356 A and the 356 B to the rare 356 Speedster. Buyers and sellers are verified, and the process runs in German or English – regardless of location.

What kind of Porsche is the Porsche 356?

The Porsche 356 is the first model that Porsche built from 1948 to 1965 in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. It is regarded as the progenitor of the 911 and, with its air-cooled rear engine, laid down the design principle that still shapes the brand today. The body variants include the coupé, cabriolet and the particularly sought-after 356 Speedster. Buying a classic Porsche 356 today means acquiring a vehicle that is as at home at classic-car meets and rallies as it is in a high-quality collection or as a long-term investment.

How does a Porsche 356 auction on Kickdown work?
