This 1960 Porsche 356B Coupe carries a story that reflects the
global appeal and enduring charm of early Porsche ownership.
Originally delivered in August of 1960 through Auguste Veuillet's
famed Sonauto dealership in Paris, this car was first owned by an
American before eventually making its way to the United States.
Period details noted in enthusiast features-such as its European
gauge cluster with oil pressure, clock, and ampere gauge, along
with unique French-market touches-highlight the individuality and
character that set cars like this apart from typical U.S.-spec
examples.
In 2009, the car underwent a comprehensive restoration that
transformed it into the striking example seen today. The body was
taken down to bare metal, properly prepped, and refinished in the
ever-desirable Bali Blue-a deep, rich color chosen for its timeless
elegance and ability to accentuate the 356's flowing lines.
Brightwork was refinished, seals and glass components refreshed,
and the interior was completely reimagined with dark tan leather
upholstery over oatmeal carpeting. The seats were professionally
rebuilt and re-covered, while the gauges were restored and the
cabin returned to a clean, cohesive, and period-correct
presentation. Even the small but significant Sonauto badge was
carefully recreated to preserve the car's heritage.
Under the rear decklid sits the original 1600cc engine, which
remains true to its factory roots. Rather than a full rebuild, the
engine was thoughtfully refreshed and improved for reliability,
including the addition of an aluminum oil cooler, updated ignition
components, and carburetion enhancements. The result is a "peppy"
and responsive driving experience that stays true to the car's
original character, producing power very close to its factory
rating. With upgraded Koni shocks and a well-sorted chassis, the
car offers confident, composed handling that makes it ideal for
long-distance touring-exactly as intended.
This 356B is not just a showpiece, but a true driver's car-what
enthusiasts often refer to as a "distance car." It runs and drives
excellent, delivering the engaging, analog experience that defines
vintage Porsche ownership. Having spent time in the dry climate of
New Mexico while being carefully maintained, it presents today as a
beautifully restored and well-preserved example. With its
combination of European heritage, documented restoration, and
authentic driving character, this 356B Coupe offers a rare
opportunity to own and enjoy one of Porsche's most iconic early
models.
