This 356 T5 was born as a Karmann Hardtop, so that means that it was basically a Cabriolet with a metal hardtop welded on the body: the actual owner removed it but he didn’t stop here. Indeed he tried to transform this car in something between a Speedster and a Roadster, removing all the “useless”… Read More Funny car: 1961 Porsche 356 T5 Hardtop “Sprint”
Stone grey was the original color of this 356B T5 Roadster (chassis #87324) that has seen, during its story, many paint layers that overlapped: the last one is the white one. Other than many paint layers, there is also the rust that intruded among them, and unfortunately it seems that the car suffers a lot… Read More Once was stone: 1960 Porsche 356 B T5 Roadster
Just like many 356 Roadster, also this T5 (cassis #89472) has been built by the belgian shop D’Itieren which, many could not know, is still in the business. D’Itieren is indeed one of the oldest – maybe the oldest – coachworks company in the world as it was founded in 1805 and during the sixties… Read More Belgian made: 1962 Porsche 356 B T5 Roadster
This 356 T5, other than being clearly a dusty barn find, is also painted in the rare “Togo Brown” shade which, sale data in hand, was not a best seller color and indeed this car was born painted in black. We find that this is a very particular shade which is stunning if mated with… Read More Chocolate powder: 1961 Porsche 356B T5 Coupé

During the 1961 and 1962 a small batch of these “strange” Porsches were built by Karmann (who wasn’t at the time the official Porsche coachbuilder: Reutter was) basically welding an hardtop on the body of a Cabrio. We don’t know why they decided to make such experiment: maybe they wanted to check the response of… Read More Almost Cabrio: 1961 Porsche 356B T5 Hardtop by Karmann
Nope, we definitely can’t ever imagine that a relict in this conditions could ever be put for sale as a car, but this is it. This car was born as a Porsche 356 T5 Cabrio, and we must admit that, 55 years ago, it came out of the factory with a very nice paint, which… Read More C.S.I. required: 1960 Porsche 356B T5 cabrio
This relic from the great sixties has arrived to us, brought by his last owner since 1977.

We all know that the B-T5 Coupé is the Cinderella of the entire Porsche 356 breed but everything can be interesting if the price is right. At last, it’s always about price, isn’t it? This car has been posted without any description apart from that it is a project or a parts car. We have seen… Read More Alabama project: 1960 Porsche 356 B T5 Coupé
The seller of this beautiful 356 Roadster says almost nothing about this car but that it is the result of a three years long restoration job. Indeed this car looks beautiful in every aspect: although the ad has few words the seller put a lot of photos (we prefer photos to words) which shows a… Read More Three years later: 1960 Porsche 356 B-T5 Roadster
