This is a real fine example of a Matching numbers, Porsche 356B Cabriolet, 1962 model year, and with a little more you would have a nicely restored vehicle.
It has all new bright work, all new correct floors, new carpets and correct canvas soft top, all rebuilt gauges. Car comes with brand new Conti tires which is correct as per the COA, and a detailed front boot compartment. This is an excellent opportunity to own a correct matching engine number highly restored 356 Cab in a great color.
These are the original colors and comes with the original and COMPLETELY REBUILT 1600 MOTOR AND TRANS! This is a very clean and solid!
The original ivory paint was redone professionally and is a just a final wet sand and polish away from being show worthy. The body was completely stripped and everything removed before painting. There was only the mildest of rust on the lower portion of the doors which was cut out and replaced with metal. The work was done correctly and all indications of rust removed.No other rust was found on the car. we personally know the car before it was restored...because we found it and recommended it to the owner. It was a very desirable project to start with.

Mechanically, the 1600 motor and 4 speed trans have less then 2500 miles and were rebuilt by a pretty famous local Porsche enthusiast and race car driver, Ralph Meaney from Meaney racing. He has years of experience doing Porsche motors and did a very thorough job rebuilding this one to factory specs. Everything is new in the motor compartment. The 4 speed trans is fresh as well and is the original equipment.
The interior was redone in a high quality leather. It looks excellent. Very clean and ready to go. There are a few things left to do. The steering wheel cap needs a new spring to hold it in place correctly. There is a radio and an antenna.
The bumpers and door handles are still in stock condition and they look fine but If you wanted new they would need to be re-chromed. They are in good driver condition now so they pass. All the glass is in great shape.
This 356B comes with a few boxes of extra parts and some stuff needed to finish the project. He has moved on to other projects and feel the next owner could take it to the next level.
All our cars are delivered with fresh fluid change, tuneup and a list of recommendations for better preserving the car in the future.
