Vehicle Description
1963 Porsche 356B Super T6 90 Coupe
90 horse power, 1,582 cc OHV air-cooled horizontally opposed
four-cylinder engine with dual 40 Solex carburetors, four-speed
manual 741 transmission, independent front suspension with
laminated torsion bars, parallel trailing arms, and tubular shock
absorbers, independent rear swing axles with torsion bars and
tubular shock absorbers, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.
Wheelbase: 82.7 in.
In late 1959 significant styling and technical refinements gave
rise to the 356 B (a T5 body type). The mid-1962 356 B model was
changed to the T6 body type (twin engine lid grilles, an external
fuel filler in the right front wing/fender and a larger rear window
in the coup�). The Porsche factory did not call attention to these
quite visible changes with a different model designation. However,
when the T6 got disc brakes, with no other visible alterations,
they called it the model C, or the SC when it had the optional
extra powerful engine.
The output of the engine is 89 bhp (90 PS/66 kW) of power at 5500
RPM and maximum torque of 121 N�m (89 lb�ft/12.3 kgm) at 4300 rpm.
The claimed curb weight is 934 kg. / 2060 ibs
Maximum speed is 179 km/h (111 mph).
Simply put, no important collection would be complete without a
proper 356, as it is an equal in automotive design and history as
the California Spider and 300 SL, but it further benefits from
practicality and ease of use, which make it as perfect for running
errands as handling twisty mountain roads. Motoring enthusiasts new
to the classic car world are well served to acquire a "blue chip"
Porsche such as this.
This 356 has its original matching S-90 engine and was original
born in Slate Grey. Complete with tools, jack, original owners
manual, records and Certificate of Authenticity. Opinions include
AM/FM Blaupunkt radio, leather front seats, Nardi wooden steering
wheels. Excellent turn key driver with nice presentable paint and
solid undercarriage!
