THE STORY

The 356 was the first automobile design bearing the Porsche name from inception, and soon after introduction in 1948 it drew wide acclaim for its unique design, uncanny efficiency and race-winning performance. Development was swift and constant throughout production, with the 356B marking a high point at launch in September 1959. Buyers agreed, with production of the 356B nearing 31,000 examples in total until the advent of the final development, the 356C, in 1963.

While the 356 was already a respected sports car and formidable in competition, driving dynamics were particularly enhanced with the relentlessly developed 356B. In the pages of Playboy magazine, famed automotive writer Ken Purdy related that the 356B “may be the most fun to drive of anything in the world,” adding “you can, with small effort, believe that the seat of your trousers is part of the automobile.”

Clearly benefiting from more than 3,000 hours of labor invested into an extensive restoration by White Post of Virgina completed in 2023, this 1963 Porsche 356B Sunroof Coupe is now offered with less than 500 miles accumulated since completion. Colors are fabulous, comprising the very rare factory combination of a black exterior finish over a black leather interior. The matching-numbers engine is a 1600cc flat 4-cylinder unit that was rebuilt to Super 90 specification using Nickies pistons and cylinders, and it’s paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox/rear transaxle.

Features and options include an electric sunroof, Becker radio, tinted windshield, chrome wheels, radio antenna, two speakers and whitewall tires. Shown at the 2023 PCA Monterey Werks Reunion, this highly collectible and enjoyable Porsche 356B is documented by a Porsche Kardex production-record copy, Reutter certificate and manuals including a sunroof supplement. Desirable accompanying items include a tool kit, jack and a fire extinguisher.
