1961 Porsche 356B Coupe

This 1961 Porsche 356B coupe is finished in Aetna Blue over red leather and houndstooth cloth, and it is powered by a replacement 1,720cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Modifications include 15″ Technomagnesio wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, Koni shocks, a roll bar, Speedster-style seats, a center-exit exhaust system, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. This 356B coupe is now offered on dealer consignment with the owner’s manual and a Montana title.

The T5 body was introduced for the 1960 model year with revised front-end styling, including raised bumpers and headlights along with a redesigned front trunk lid handle. This Reutter-built example is finished in Aetna Blue (6003) and was repainted some time ago. The hood trim has been deleted, and features include gold Super 90 badging, a body-color mirror mounted on the left fender, and a louvered decklid.

The 15″ Technomagnesio wheels are mounted with 175/70 Vredestein Sprint tires. Four-wheel disc brakes with drilled rotors have been added, and Koni shocks are fitted at each corner.

The Speedster-style front bucket seats are trimmed in red leather with houndtooth cloth inserts, and blue squareweave carpets line the floors. The rear seats have been removed and a roll bar has been added along with Simpson latch-and-link harnesses. A radio blanking plate is fitted in the dash.

The three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel frames green-letter VDO instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline as well as a combination gauge for oil temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 99k miles, which is not considered to be accurate. Total mileage is unknown.

The replacement 1,720cc is reportedly fitted with an aftermarket camshaft and an oil cooler and was installed some time ago.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. The aftermarket exhaust system features dual mufflers and a single center exit.
