The Porsche 356 B, produced from 1960 through 1963, represents an important part of the 356’s model history. The B introduced new front and rear sheet-metal, though retained the curved front trunk lid and rounded fenders of the A series. The B also added features requested by American customers, such as raised front and rear bumpers with over-riders to better protect the body from parking incidents. The headlamps were also raised, a larger hood handle was added, and front vent windows appeared in the doors. A new steering wheel and column similarly refreshed the interior, along with redesigned rear seats.
The 356 B also reflected Porsche’s continuing effort to improve the line’s mechanical components, with stronger engine internals, transaxle, shifting linkage, and better brakes. Three engine outputs, the standard model’s 60hp, the “Super” with 75hp, and the “Super 90” with 90hp, ensured buyers could specify their car with as much performance as desired. With such a light weight, even the standard car felt plenty brisk in comparison to regular sedans of the period. Nowadays, the higher-performance models are, of course, the most desirable, though all 356 B models are hugely entertaining to drive.
The incredible 1963 Porsche 356 B T6 1600 Super Cabriolet featured here is finished in its factory color combination of Smyrna Green over a Black interior with a matching folding convertible top. Just released from a prominent Southern California collection, this impressive Porsche is now ready for its next caretaker. We are proud to offer this investment-grade 356 B Cabriolet to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this German classic!
