1961 Porsche 356B super 90 Cabriolet Excellent condition. Excellent driving car. Won best in class honors at Ironstone Concours in Murphy, California and at Livermore Porsche Club Show. will take some better pics and a video this coming week. can set up a video walk thru or whatever is needed. Super nice driving car. A transitional model that superseded the legendary 356A, the 356B introduced a new front end styling treatment that foretold that of the 911; but as shocking as it was to many Porsche faithful, it was welcomed by the marketplace, which also approved of its all-new 1600cc Super 90 1600S-90 engine. A flat-4 designed to replace the Carrera Deluxe, it had been tested in the 1959 Nürburgring 1,000km, where it powered an engineering prototype to 13th overall in its very first race test.After being maintained by its original owner until 2013, this 1961 Super 90 Cabriolet’s next owner commissioned a cosmetic refurbishing that began with disassembly and complete media blasting of the Reutter cabriolet coachwork. The car was then refinished in the original factory shade of Signal Red and fitted with a replacement black soft top. Additionally, the brightwork was rechromed as necessary and the car was fitted with a new wiring harness. The car was delivered from the factory equipped with chromed side trim strips and twin fog lights mounted beneath the front bumper, all of which were retained as part of the restoration. Power comes via a replacement rebuilt Super 90 1600cc flat-4 engine fitted with Knecht air cleaners on the twin Solex carburetors and mated to Porsche’s outstanding 4-speed manual transaxle. The car rides on Toyo Versado tires on the stock 15-inch wheels, which wear chromed trim rings and caps with Porsche crests.The immaculate interior is a showpiece all its own. Apparently originally finished in black with corduroy inserts, the seats, dash pad and other trim have been reupholstered in rich black leather. The cluster of VDO instruments was rebuilt and includes a 6,000 RPM tachometer. Floor coverings are a combination of rubber mat and salt and pepper square-weave carpeting. This prize-winning 356B Super 90 Cabriolet comes with a front driving bra, car cover, chromed luggage rack, coco mats, black boot cover, reference manuals and the all-important Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.Cosmetically refurbished.
