Vehicle Description
1962 Porsche 356B Outlaw Coupe
• VIN 118XXX
• 1720cc Flat-Four Engine
• 716 Transmission
This 1962 Porsche 356B Coupe was converted to a race car by Emory
Motorsports in the mid-2000s and was later again modified by Rod
Emory in Outlaw style in 2012. It was acquired by the current owner
in 2018 and has since been refurbished, including a repaint in Aqua
Marine Blue and a reupholstered interior. The 356 is powered by a
Porsche 1720cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual
transaxle.
This 356 Outlaw retains the modifications performed by Emory
Motorsports including a four-wheel disc brake conversion, a GT
limited-slip differential, a 911 dual-circuit master cylinder,
Lexan polycarbonate racing glass, 911R-style decklid hinges, 15?
aluminum wheels, a front sway bar, roll bar, four-spoke steering
wheel, 1720cc engine and 716 transmission. It features a
bumper-delete option and incorporates custom Emory elements. It
includes a unique front grill designed for the forward-mounted oil
cooler, front air scoops for optimal brake cooling, and a center
gas fill through the front bonnet. During the recent restoration
the front leather hood straps, front turn signals, rear
polycarbonate window, and Raydot side mirrors were removed but
these original parts come with the sale of the car. The restoration
performed by Emory Motorsports is fully documented.
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. The interior has been
completely reupholstered, featuring Speedster seats trimmed in Blue
leather with Tan corduroy inserts. A body-color roll bar is fitted
in place of the rear seats, and tan German square-weave carpets
have been installed with black GT vinyl thresholds. Additional
highlights include a 4-spoke leather-wrapped Moto-Lita steering
wheel with an outlaw button, GT-style door pulls, leather window
pulls, and custom racing gauges. The 5.5" x 15" 964 Space Saver
rims are painted silver and mounted with BF Goodrich Advantage T/A
205 60 15 tires. The undercarriage is in excellent condition
throughout, with no rust, and is fully detailed along with all the
suspension components.
In 2008, Emory Motorsports was commissioned to execute a bare metal
restoration to build a custom 356 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, and a GT limited-slip differential.
In 2011, the owner returned the 356 to Rod Emory and opted for a
street conversion which included significant modifications to the
356's 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 front and rear 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 mated to a 4-speed manual transmission (Type
716). The 1720cc flat-six was custom-built in 2012 and features
Shasta 86mm pistons with 10.5:1 compression, an Elgin camshaft, and
dual Solex P40 carburetors with velocity stacks. A custom fuel tank
is housed in the front trunk, and an aluminum oil cooler is mounted
behind the front valance. The top end of the engine was recently
rebuilt in 2024 and has been completely detailed and tuned.
Four-wheel disc brakes have been installed, and suspension
modifications include hand-dial adjustable Spax shocks, Wright
de-cambered front spindles, a 19mm front sway bar, and a 356
Enterprises camber compensator.
This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-documented and
sorted 356 Outlaw that benefits from a recent cosmetic
refurbishment and fresh engine rebuild.
