Buying a 1960 Porsche 356

1960 Porsche 356From 1959 to 1963, Porsche 356 models were considered part of the Type B line, which offered quite distinct styling changes to the 356 in 1959. In total, the German manufacturer would produce approximately 30,963 356B’s. The 1960 Porsche 356 was available in several variations: as a coupe, cabriolet or roadster. Engine options were also plentiful and included the 1600, 1600S, 1600 S 90 and 2000 GS. Compared to its 356A predecessors, the 356B models offered a much larger front bumper with similarly larger guards. This bumper was also elevated nearly four-inches more to ensure better protection. The rear bumper saw similar improvements. Styling changes also included more upright headlights, which resulted in the front fenders having a more straightforward line in contrast to the 356A’s curvier fenders. While these changes were not initially popular, by the release of the 1960 356, even purists were praising the brand for its forward thinking.

1960 Porsche 356 Buyer’s Guide

When buying a 1960 Porsche 356, it is important to remember a few Buyer’s Tips. First, these cars are prone to rust particularly in areas of the frame, the fenders, the floorboards, and trunk. As with any classic car, it is imperative to have the auto inspected thoroughly. While a car with some rust can still be a great investment, fixing rusted areas can be quite costly and it is important to factor this additional cost into your restoration or purchasing budget. Secondly, it is important to ask the seller to provide as much documentation as possible, as this can greatly increase the value of the auto should you choose to sell it down the line. Furthermore, knowing the owner history of any classic auto can be a great addition.
