For 1960, after five years of 356 A production, Porsche announced
another major revision - enough to warrant a change in the name to
356 B. Raised bumpers and headlamps ensured the new car met
increasingly stringent safety standards in the US. The hood
handle's size was increased for ease of use while front vent
windows increased passenger comfort. Redesigned rear seats and a
new steering wheel refreshed interior styling. Larger brakes and
updated motor options ensured performance was plentiful as
well.
In addition to the standard coupe and cabriolet body styles, the
356 B was also offered in a number of alternatives such as the
Roadster and, as the car featured here, 'Notchback' coupe. Produced
for only two years, the 'Notchback' was initially produced on T5
cabriolet bodies with a roof in the style of the hardtop welded in
place. For 1962, the 'Notchback' was updated to the T6 body with
the rest of the lineup. Offering greater rear-seat headroom and
unique style, the 'Notchback' is fondly remembered for its special
place in Porsche history and have become increasingly valuable to
investors and enthusiasts.
The investment-grade 1962 Porsche 356 B 1600 'Notchback' Coupe
featured here is finished in stunning Champagne Yellow over a Black
interior. This beautifully restored 356 B was formerly in the
collection of famed Porsche collector, Tommy Trabue, and is now
ready for its next caretaker. This is a rare opportunity to own a
piece of Porsche history that very few will ever experience. We are
proud to offer this exquisite example of one of the rarest variants
of the 356 to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast
who desires to own an investment-grade example at an exceptional
price!
