This Porsche 356 B 1600 S Cabriolet is presented as a well-preserved example, featuring a numbers-matching 1600cc engine producing 75 horsepower and a four-speed manual transmission, which the owner believes to be original, though the numbers have not been verified. According to the seller, the car was running when parked 25 years ago, making it… Read More Ivory survivor: 1962 Porsche 356B T6 S Cabriolet
We were talking, a few posts ago, about the search for originality in collecting, and here we have a Cabriolet popping up in a non-exceptional condition, but certainly original. Speaking of the condition, we notice that the car doesn’t appear to have been restored in appearance. In fact, it seems completely original in every part,… Read More Old slate: 1963 Porsche 356B T6 S Cabriolet
A tip from personal experience: if you intend to buy a classic car to be restored, never buy rotten scrap just to save on the purchase price: at the end of the restoration you will regret it bitterly. You will regret it for three reasons: the first is about the money you will spend; in… Read More Dry white: 1962 Porsche 356B T6 Coupé
By now, for those who want it, there are no longer many possibilities to get your hands on a Porsche 356 at a “human” price. When I sold my 356 T5 Cabriolet for $ 47,000 more than ten years ago, it took me six months and even had to accept a car as a partial… Read More Last call: 1963 Porsche 356B T6 Cabriolet
No, this is definitely not a car to be restored, as even the seller himself suggests, and we can only agree with him. The reason is easy to understand: it seems that this 356 S 75 is completely original and that, ever since it left the Stuttgart factory, it has never been repainted, even partially.… Read More Patina monster/4: 1962 Porsche 356 T6 Coupé
Bring your own engine if you are interested in buying this Porsche 356 as it does not have it. Just like it has happened for many 356 in the past the engine has been removed, probably to be fixed, and then lost at some workshops. The car is clearly a 356 Coupè, T6 series but… Read More B.Y.O.E: 1963 Porsche 356 T6 Coupé
It’s hard to improve the job of a genius like Ferdinand Porsche, even if who wants to improve it is another genius like Giovanni Michelotti. Indeed the result is quite odd but not beautiful. This Porsche 356 T6 coupé, the existence of which was totally unknown by us, was an attempt made by the swiss… Read More Restyling attempt: 1961 Porsche 356 B T6 Coupé by Ghia-Aigle
The strange thing about this Porsche 356 is that it’s an italian delivery car: that would not be strange for an italian car but it’s odd to see a 356 imported from Italy; indeed Porsche sold more than the 50% of its 356 production to the U.S.A. As an italian car, it has some features… Read More Italian silver: 1963 Porsche 356 B T6 Super 90 Coupé
There is a small series of these 356 Roadster, build both on the T5 and T6 version, which had two grilles on the engine lid instead of one only. This was made in order to provide more cooling to the engne bay: these are air cooled cars so the more the air, the better the… Read More More air: 1962 Porsche 356 B T6 Roadster “Twin Grille”
This car has no feelings but, at the same time, has a special heart: it’s not the common aircooled, pushrod engine of the common 356’s of that period but a very rare four cam engine. That’s because this is a 356 Carrera 2 GS, not your common 356. Very few were made and, back then,… Read More A special heart: 1963 Porsche 356 B T6 Carrera 2
