The 356B model cabriolet pictured here for sale has a very unique history. Sold brand new by Porsche dealer Pardee & Mozart in Palo Alta, California on October 12th, 1961, it remained in the care of one family and in California until it's sale in 2022. This fully documented, numbers matched B model cabriolet has received one repaint in the 1990's, along with an engine overhaul that increased displacement to 1,750cc. This overhaul also included AA Performance Products cylinders, forged JE pistons, and an aftermarket performance camshaft. The four-speed gearbox is easy to use, along with the manual steering and big aluminum drum brakes. The thirty plus year old paint shows well, while the fabric top, interior upholstery and carpets are in as new condition. The overall driving experience of this classic Porsche is that of an eager to rev, toss able, and most importantly fun automobile, just as Ferry Porsche intended.

Description

Introduced in 1950, the 356 model was the genesis of the Porsche brand. Created by Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche, the namesake son of the company's founder Ferdinand Porsche, the 356 proved the idea of a rear-engine, lite-weight sports car that was fun to drive and easy to operate. This same ethos later spawned the 356's replacement, the Porsche 911, that is still in production to this day. The 356 utilized an air cooled horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine that was mounted to the rear of a unitized chassis pan. The suspension components, fuel tank, and seats were also bolted to this pan, and then the curvaceous steel body was lowered down onto the completed chassis pan. This construction method, and some mechanical components, were shared with Volkswagen at the time. This was as a result of Ferdinand Porsche's involvement in engineering for Volkswagen during the war, and the lack of manufacturing available in Germany directly thereafter. However, with the Porsche, the engine was more powerful, the body much lighter, and the ergonomics much more refined. This made the 356 a multi-use sports car that could be raced or toured with equal success.
