Introducing this well-presented 1963 Porsche 356B Coupe, a true icon of early Porsche engineering. This example is offered a vibrant Signal Red finish, perfectly contrasted by a Tan/Camel interior that captures the timeless spirit of the 356.
Highlights: - California Car - Guards Red Exterior Color - 4-Speed Manual Transmission - 1600c Flat-Four Engine - Zenith Dual Carburetors - Drum Brakes - Twin Engine-Lid Grilles - Wood-Rimmed 3-Spoke Steering Wheel - Chrome Accents - VDO Instrumentation - 15-Inch Steel Wheels - $21,637.67 in Service Receipt Copies (2007-2020)
Power comes from a 1600c flat-four engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the engaging, analog driving experience that made the 356 legendary. Equipment includes period-correct Zenith dual carburetors, drum brakes at all four corners, VDO gauges, chrome headlight rings, body-color bumpers with chrome overriders, a wood-rim three-spoke steering wheel, and classic Moon-style chrome hubcaps with Porsche crest wrapped in Kumho tires on 15-inch steel wheels. The front trunk houses a full-size spare and jack, just as Porsche intended.
Inside, youll find low-back bucket seats, manual-crank windows, dual-side mirrors, an analog clock, Blaupunkt radio, glove box, door pockets, and a fender-mounted antenna - simple, purposeful, and unmistakably Porsche.
This 356B is accompanied by $21,637.67 in documented service receipts, with major work completed in May 2020. That service included a complete transmission rebuild with a new case and synchros, conversion to period-correct Zenith carburetors with rebuilt throttle bodies, and extensive engine work including a front cover installation. Additional maintenance includes a full brake service, resealed left axle tube, replacement fuel tank and sending unit, new Kumho Power Star tires, a 6-volt battery replacement, and refreshed door and window seals.
The twin engine-lid grilles on later 356B models werent just a styling update - they were added to improve cooling for the higher-output 1600 engines, making these cars better suited for sustained highway driving without compromising reliability. Do not miss this fantastic opportunity to own a cornerstone of Porsche history that is mechanically sound. For $74,500
