Southern California Black plate factory Super 356B Coupe with six
(6) owners, finished in Viper Green over Black upholstery.
Originally finished in Silver Metallic (6206) with a Black
interior. Optional equipment includes an Extended Steering Column
and Phoenix Tires.
The paintwork is in great condition and complemented by the bright
work. The upholstery is in very good shape and features a VDM
steering wheel, factory VDO instrumentation, CoCo mats, and a
Saphire II radio. The 15" x 4 �" wheels are painted silver with
Super hubcaps and are mounted to Michelin XZX 165 SR15 tires. The
undercarriage and suspension have been completely detailed and are
solid and rust-free.
According to the factory Certificate of Authenticity, this 356B was
originally delivered by Competition Motors in Hollywood,
California. The first owner was Mr. Rozeuer, who took delivery on
February 2, 1963. The second owner, Mr. Thompson, who resided in
Whittier, California, owned this 356 until the late 1970s. In the
mid-1980s, the 356 was acquired by Mr. McGrath, who initiated an
extensive cosmetic restoration. Mr. McGrath worked with Herbies
Auto Body in Los Angeles, California, and changed the exterior
color to Viper Green. At the same time, all chrome components were
replated by Monitor Plating and Central Plating, and Ken Sorrenson
Top Shop reupholstered the interior. Essential trim and components
required to complete the restoration were procured from Performance
Products and International Mercantile. The 356B remained with two
additional owners in Southern California until 2016 when the past
owner took possession of the vehicle. Under this ownership, the
356B received updates including a new sway bar bushing kit, a new
clutch kit, and an engine rebuild from the short block conducted by
AASE Motors in Fullerton, California.
This 356 is equipped with the matching 1600cc flat-four Super
engine, generating 75 horsepower paired with a manual 4-speed
transmission (Type 741). Complete with a Certificate of
Authenticity, the Porsche Kardex, a spare tire, registration
documents, and a comprehensive service history spanning 39 years.
This 356B Super Coupe has been meticulously maintained and
documented, reflecting a high standard of care and
preservation.
