For Sale: 1960 Porsche 356 in Savannah, Georgia

Motorcar Studio in partnership with JFrazar Motorcars is pleased to offer this 1960 Porsche 356 B Roadster with coachwork by Karosseriewerke Drauz-Heilbronn. This US-delivery Drauz Roadster was imported through Max Hoffman; the factory Kardex confirms the correct original color of Ruby Red, and that this car retains its original, numbers-matching engine and transmission. Professionally restored by noted Porsche specialist VMR in North Georgia in 2005-2006; it has remained under the care of the same Georgia owner since. This 356 Roadster presents in to a concours standard inside and out.

Most of the open-top 356B variants were Cabriolets - the Roadster was essentially an evolution of the sought-after 356A Speedster and the one-year-only 1959 Convertible D. It's a bit more user-friendly than the Speedster thanks to roll-up windows and a taller (but still removable) windscreen, but still features a sleeker look vs. the Cabriolet. And of course the Grauz Roadster incorporates all of the chassis improvements of the 365B - bigger brakes, revised suspension, more comfortable interiors, etc.

The interior was fully restored to the same high standard as the body; excellent carpets, seat upholstery, door panels, dash, gauges, wood-rimmed steering wheel and convertible top. The accessory luggage rack on the engine lid is attached through the grille, so it can be easily removed (with no holes to fill). The original, numbers-matching engine and transmission were also rebuilt (along with a complete suspension refresh). The result is a 356 that runs and drives just as exquisitely as it looks. This example has been carefully maintained since its restoration under the watchful eye of the same owner for more than two decades - it is very well sorted with no known needs.
