Vehicle Description
1962 Porsche 356B Emory Outlaw Coupe
• VIN 118XXX
• 1,720cc Flat-Four Engine
• 716 Transmission
• Emory Outlaw Build
This Emory-built 356 Coupe is finished in a beautiful combination
of Aquamarine Blue with Blue upholstery. This exterior has
undergone a complete bare metal respray and is in pristine
condition. It features a bumper-delete option and incorporates
custom Emory elements, including a unique front grill designed for
the forward-mounted oil cooler, air scoops for optimal brake
cooling, and a center gas fill through the front bonnet. The
interior has been completely reupholstered, featuring Speedster
bucket seats trimmed in Blue leather with Tan corduroy inserts.
Additional highlights include a 4-spoke leather-wrapped Moto-Lita
steering wheel, a Roll Bar, GT-style door pulls, and custom racing
gauges. The 5.5" x 16" 993 Space Saver rims are painted silver and
mounted with BF Goodrich Advantage tires. The undercarriage is in
excellent condition throughout, with no rust, and is fully detailed
along with the suspension components.
In 2008, Emory Motorsports was commissioned to execute a thorough
bare metal restoration to build a custom racecar. The chassis was
disassembled and subjected to media blasting, unveiling the bare
metal. The 356 underwent meticulous metal finishing and
enhancements, including incorporating front scoops and a front
vented grill. At this point, a complete roll cage was fabricated
and painted to match the 356s body color. Additional racing
enhancements included a disc brake conversion, a 911 dual-circuit
master cylinder, Sparco racing seatbelts, Lexan polycarbonate
racing glass, Raydot mirrors, 911R-style decklid hinges, A038 race
tires, a Willhoit short shifter, and a GT limited-slip
differential.
In 2011, the owner returned the 356 to Rod Emory and opted for a
$20,000 street conversion which included significant modifications
to the 356s body, suspension, transmission, engine, and electrical
systems. Key features of this conversion encompassed the rebuild of
the transmission utilizing BBBC gearing, an engine upgrade with a
1720 big bore kit, and the installation of glass windows.
Furthermore, in 2014, the owner acquired fiberglass "BigBoy"
Speedster seat shells along with GT Speedster alloy seat frames
from Fibersteel. In 2018 this Emory Outlaw was purchased by the
current owner. After several years of pure enjoyment, the owner
decided it was time for a complete restoration.
In 2022-2024, European Collectibles undertook a comprehensive bare
metal restoration and refinished the vehicle in a striking Porsche
color - Aquamarine Blue. The car's body was meticulously assembled.
The driveline was removed, the suspension was repainted, and new
Spax Krypton Gas shocks were installed. The engine's sheet metal
was powder coated, the hardware was CAD plated, and the fan shroud
was painted in the body color. Finally, the braking system was
thoroughly overhauled, complete with new rotors, brake pads, and
brake lines
It is powered by a Porsche 356 1720cc flat-four engine producing
over 120 horsepower with 180lbs mated to a 4-speed manual
transmission with a four-wheel disc braking system. Most recently,
the top end of the engine was rebuilt, tuned, and adjusted. This is
an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-documented Emory-Built
Outlaw that benefits from a recent cosmetic refurbishment.
