This Porsche 356B Super Coupe may have left the factory in 1963, but its story doesn’t truly begin until 1991.
Spotted by a “well-known NorCal Porsche expert and restoration specialist” in 1990, the 356 was soon purchased and …
That pretty much looks perfect. (True story: A million years ago I could have bought a red 356 for $14k, but at the time that was like a zillion bucks for an older car.)
Oh my.
I sold my red 1963 356B "Normal" 356 coupe (bought in 1986 from a friend in Marin County north of SF for $5,000) in Los Angeles in May of 1990 for $5,500 (my asking price in the ad). Classified ran in the LA Times on Friday, buyer showed up Saturday morning at 9:00 AM.
The Porsche was in very nice shape: perfect factory stock interior, no rust straight coachwork, very clean paint, well running, new tires. Only chronic issue I had was the large nut on the end of the fan kept coming loose. The buyer/new owner drove away in the car 20 min. later, after a quick around the block test drive and the peeling off bills from a wad he pulled from his pocket.
Only later did it occur to me that perhaps I'd under-priced the car a little?
