Vehicle Description
1960 Porsche 356B T5 Super Coupe
VIN 111894
Delivered on May, 23rd 1960
Originally delivered to Switzerland in 1960 and then imported by
the second owner to Carmichael, California in 1961. The second
owner had this amazing 356 for four (4) decades and kept every
service invoice until selling it to the third owner in the early
2000's.
Finished in Condor Yellow with Black leatherette interior.
Excellent driver in great overall condition. Mechanically the
1600cc Super engine (producing 75 Horse Power) runs perfectly with
a smooth shifting 4-speed manual 741 transmission. European
Collectibles just did a complete brake job and has installed a new
clutch. Equipped with several desirable options such as an 80-liter
GT fuel tank, electric clock, headrest, side body moldings, and an
outside mirror.
Complete with original owner's manual, jack, with complete
documentation since the date of purchase and Certificate of
Authenticity. An excellent example that has been kept in great
condition over its lifetime.
History
For the 1960 model year, the 356A model was out and replaced by the
356B, which was known internally as the T5. It looked similar on
the outside, but there were numerous small but important changes to
the body. The front bumper had enlarged rim guards that were
positioned higher, and the headlights were slightly raised as well.
The front indicators came stuck out further and the front lid
handle was new. In the back, the lights for the license plate were
integrated into the now raised rear bumper, and the reverse light
was lowered.
