Vehicle History & Overview

According to the included Kardex document, this 356B was built on January 15, 1962 and delivered in the striking color combination of Oslo Blue over Red Leatherette with corduroy inserts. The prior owner reportedly acquired the car in 1977 and kept it until the selling dealer purchased the car in February 2022 as a non-running project. The car was rear-ended sometime in the late 1970s and was subsequently driven for many years unrepaired. Sometime in the 1980s the car was parked in a barn and eventually found its way into the garage the selling dealer acquired it from.

Porsche's 356 was originally launched in 1948, with the B-series seen here arriving in 1959. In 1962 Porsche launched the “T6” variant of the 356B. Various improvements were made over earlier models, but the most noticeable were twin grilles on the engine lid, passenger front fender-mount fuel filler, and a larger rear window for the coupe. Luxury touches such as the uncommon electric sunroof fitted to this car were options. Series production of the 356 ended in May 1966.
