Vehicle Description
1963 Porsche 356B Coupe - Porsche Certification Of Authenticity -
1600CC 4 Cylinder - 4 Speed Manual Transmission - Dark Blue Over
Tan Interior - California Car Noted as the first production
automobile under the Porsche name, the 356 is a lightweight and
nimble-handling, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door sports
car. Available as both a hardtop coupe and as an open
configuration, Porsche's 356 included years of innovation
contributing to Porsche's motorsports success and popularity.
Replacing the 356A for the 1960 model year, the 356B was a step-up
change from the 356A. Aside from a few external changes, the B
offered buyers more powerful and flexible engine options which
helped highlight the car's excellent chassis and handling dynamics.
Porsche's reputation for racing inspired engineering and accessible
performance has ensured that many 356Bs have led very active but
cherished lifestyles. There are still a number of examples of these
vehicles on the open market. The Porsche 356B was available in
several different versions including a Coupe, Roadster, Super,
Super Roadster, Super 90, and Super 90 Roadster. Even with mixed
reviews about the revised front-end styling and raised headlights,
the updated appearance did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm for the
356B. Highlighted here is a 1963 Porsche 356B Super 90. Covered in
a gorgeous dark blue paint, this sports car is a handsome sports
car. Originating from California, this vehicle is the epitome of
Porsche legacy. Under the hood is a 1600cc 4-cylinder engine that
has been paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. As part of the
Super 90 designation this Porsche features sodium filled valves and
twin Solex P40-11 carburetors. This engine is particularly sought
after by collectors due to its higher output. For the interior, the
driver and passenger are met with a lush tan interior. Complete
with front buckets and smaller rear seats, this sports car is most
comfortably a two-seater. Noted with an optional Blaupunkt radio
'Frankfurt De Luxe' combined with front speakers and CD player in
the glovebox, this 356 has been updated to be a lovely cruiser.
There is some wear to the leather driver's seat but does not appear
to hinder the comfort or cause distraction to the driver. Lovingly
observed as the 911's little brother, the Porsche 356B retains
quite a bit of its prominence and legacy. This 356B includes a
Porsche Certificate of Authenticity as well as many unique features
that are known among Porsche models. All-in-all, the 356B
solidified Porsche's reputation for building high quality, fun, and
quick little sports cars. This vehicle is the perfect opportunity
for any car enthusiast to become an owner of one of the world's
premier specialist vehicle manufacturers. Please call if interested
