1957 GS coupe for sale
Cool car, but difficult to imagine not being underwater for some time after restoration.

You never pay too much, you just sometimes buy too soon.
A cool car with history, would be a fun one to restore.

Well, it's in the Carrera book as a GS. I think that means it's a Carrera.Joris Koning wrote:So what do we call this car? A GS? It is not a Carrera, never was and never will be.

Re: 1957 GS coupe for sale
I raise a philosophical question. When is a car a Carrera? If the data plate reads GS, GT or GS/GT? if a 4-cam engine was originally installed from the factory? I have no beef with this car. Like its history but in my opinion (and I know what opinions are worth) how can it be a Carrera if it left the factory without a 4-cam engine installed?

Re: 1957 GS coupe for sale
They designated it a GS, where does it state that they designated it a Carrera? So are all cars designated GT a Carrera also?Adam Wright wrote:The Factory built it as a Carrera, designated as such, isn't that enough?Joris Koning wrote:I raise a philosophical question.

Re: 1957 GS coupe for sale
Getting back to that point at hand, what makes a true Carrera? and how should we judge spare chassis's or complete cars without engines delivered by the factory to customers installing their own running gear?

Re: 1957 GS coupe for sale
Joris,
There were 9 cars besides my 57 Carrera delivered without engine to either racing department ,Racers or Dealers
thru the Carrera years.....
As you know you must be a big shot to pull any car out of the production line let alone a 57 Carrera .That takes a very famous name on the ticket.Jules was very close friend of factory race car driver Huschke Von Hahnstein and great customer buying every 2 years new Porsche and not garage them ,in the first day Jules was hitting
Tulpen Rally ,Tour de Belgium ,Liege Rome liege rallies every year from 1953 till 1969...

Re: 1957 GS coupe for sale
This actually the best Carrera to own, no worry about blowing the original motor.
