Based on my research of the Classic.com market data and recent auction results, here's what I found about restored 1959 Porsche 356 Convertible D Super values: From our Classic.com market data, the Porsche 356 A Convertible D (1958-1959) shows an average sale price of $233,733, with prices ranging from $94,366 to $517,000. However, most of the examples in our database are "Original & Highly Original" rather than fully restored. For restored examples, I found several key data points: - A restored 1959 Convertible D sold at RM Sotheby's Monterey 2024 (though final price wasn't in the data I accessed) - Recent auction results show restored examples typically range from $250,000 to $350,000 - One beautifully restored 1959 example was listed at $250,000 Given the rarity (only 1,331 Convertible D models produced) and desirability among Porsche collectors, a properly restored 1959 Porsche 356 Convertible D Super in today's market would likely be valued between **$275,000 and $375,000**, depending on the quality of restoration, documentation, and specific options. The "Super" designation with the 1600cc engine producing 75 HP makes it particularly desirable, and restored examples command a significant premium over original condition cars due to their usability and show-ready appearance. Would you like me to help you find more specific restored examples currently for sale, or do you have questions about the restoration process for these rare Porsches?
