The beautifully restored 1962 Porsche 356B Cabriolet was completed
at the factory with the following options: Michelin Tires,
Ornamental Wheel Caps with Porsche Crest, 1 Pair of Safety Belts,
Blaupunkt Radio "Frankfurt," Two Speakers and Antenna. A detailed
California ownership history is documented in the binder that
accompanies the car and the mechanical service records on hand date
back to the late 1970s.
The most recent owner purchased this car from European Collectibles
in 2014 and used it as a weekend driver for a year before sending
it out to be repainted. After talking to many local car collectors
and avid 356 Club members, he settled on East Auto Body for the
paintwork. The body was stripped to bare steel, repaired, and
aligned as needed and then painted in Signal Red. While the
exterior trim and gauges were removed from the car, they were
restored and replated as needed to match the freshness of the newly
applied paint. Reassembly was then done with new seals and rubber
throughout. In early 2023, additional restoration work included the
installation of a new leather interior. While some may have mixed
leather and vinyl to save a few bucks, this is all leather
including the dash pad, door panels and front and rear seats. The
result is stunning. While at the trim shop, a new black canvas top
was sewn and fitted along with a new headliner and top boot.
This is an excellent running and driving 356 Cabriolet that has
been fully restored by some of the best shops in Southern
California and has just received a major service. It is matching
numbers throughout and complete with owner's manuals, radio
manuals, tool kit and jack.
