Porsche 356 Parts

The Porsche 356 is the car that started it all: the first production model to wear the Porsche name, built from 1950 to 1965 through four generations, the 356 Pre-A (1950–1955), the 356 A (1955–1959), the 356 B in its T5 (1959–1961) and T6 (1961–1963) bodies, and the 356 C (1963–1965).

Stoddard has specialised in Porsche 356 parts for more than half a century, and the catalog reflects that depth of knowledge. Whether you are restoring a Pre-A coupé, a Speedster, a Cabriolet or a 356 C, you will find the components needed to bring the car back to factory specification: engine and transmission parts, brakes, suspension and steering, fuel and electrical parts, glass and rubber seals, chrome and brightwork, interior trim, and a comprehensive range of body panels.

Because the 356 changed continually across its production run, correct identification is essential. Engine cases, gearboxes, brake setups and trim details differ between the Pre-A, A, B and C cars, and even between T5 and T6 B bodies. Select your model above to narrow the catalog to your exact year and chassis, then browse the exploded 356 parts diagrams down to the exact reference, so that the parts you order fit and look right the first time.

We carry the hard-to-find 356 sheet metal that is often the difference between a stalled project and a finished car: floor pans, longitudinals, rockers, fenders and nose sections, including the Simonsen 356 body panels. On the mechanical side, Stoddard supplies the seals, gaskets, bearings, fasteners and rebuild kits that keep the pushrod and four-cam engines, the 519, 644 and 741 transmissions and the drum or disc brakes reliable.

A numbers-correct, properly restored 356 is now a blue-chip collectible as well as a usable classic. Sourcing authentic 356 restoration parts preserves both the originality and the long-term value of the car, from a complete nut-and-bolt rebuild to routine maintenance.

Stoddard ships Porsche 356 parts worldwide and supports clubs, concours competitors and first-time restorers alike. Our parts specialists can help you interpret chassis and engine numbers, identify the correct components for your car and plan a restoration in the right sequence, so that body, mechanical and trim work come together properly.
