The Porsche 356 B, produced from 1960 through 1963, represents the mid-point in the 356’s model history. The B introduced new front and rear sheet-metal, while retaining the curved front trunk lid and rounded fenders of the A series. The B also added some 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 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 Alfin brakes. The “Super” model with raised compression added an extra 15 brake horsepower to the standard version’s 1.6-liter, air-cooled, flat, four-cylinder engine.
The magnificent, one family-owned 1963 Porsche 356 B 1600 Super Cabriolet featured here is finished in gorgeous Heron Gray (Off-White) over Black leather with a Black folding convertible top. This stunning 356 B 1600 Super was delivered new on November 14, 1962 to Porsche Car Pacific in Burlingham, California to its original owner who cared for it for many years until passing it down to his son, who would later decide to commission Porsche expert Dick Highland to perform a show quality, no expense spared multi-year restoration before showing it at the 2018 New York International auto show. This car was also featured in a Porsche-commissioned IFC short film (LINK HERE) as well as shown at many Concours events. We are proud to offer this investment-grade Porsche to the most sophisticated investor, collector, or enthusiast who aspires to own one of the best!
