For Sale: 1962 Porsche 356 in Savannah, Georgia

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1962 Porsche 356B T6 Coupe. This 356 proves that a vintage Porsche doesn't have to be a concours-quality restoration to provide enjoyment for both its driver and onlookers. During our photo shoot this car got more attention than any other in recent memory. It's both charming and approachable, and you don't have to worry about where you park it. There is considerable patina both inside and out but the body is largely straight and solid, and the underside, while not highly detailed, is free of any known structural rust. Michelin tires with 2023 date codes are nearly new.

Interior shows to a driver standard with a good headliner, door panels and seat upholstery. Newer original-style steering wheel. Speedometer and fuel gauge are working, as are all exterior lights. Good glass with the exception of the driver's door quarter vent window, which is plexiglass and shows some crazing. Shift linkage was recently rebuilt and functions properly.

Power is provided by a 1600 cc H4 dual-port VW engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission; we do not have specs on the build, but the power delivery feels very similar to the 60 hp Porsche 1600 "normal" engine that came as standard equipment on the '62 356. Extensive recent service under present ownership has included a complete tune-up, rebuilt Solex carburetors, new alternator (12 volt electrical system), new electric fuel pump, cleaned and re-lined fuel tank plus new fuel level sending unit, oil service and air filters. Complete steering, suspension and brake system overhaul included new front wheel bearings, new front and rear brakes, new steering linkage and stabilizers, new steering column rag joint, a professional alignment and new Bilstein shocks. The result is a car that drives and handles very nicely.

If you want a mechanically well-sorted 356 to actually drive and enjoy but that won't break the bank, this one deserves your consideration. For more information about this 1962 Porsche 356 B coupe for sale at Motorcar Studio in Savannah, please call 912-235-0435.
