This 1961 Porsche 356B Roadster boasts a fresh, professional restoration with matching engine and striking original colors. Chassis No. 88367, Engine No. 603642, and Gearbox No. 43782, the car is presented in Aetna Blue with a Red Leatherette Interior.

The iconic Porsche 356 has been favored by enthusiasts for over half a century, offering a combination of modest mechanicals and pure design. Initially introduced as an update to the 'A' model in 1959, the 'B' series cars brought refinements and improvements to these capable rear-engine sports cars, delivering high quality, value, reliability, and mechanical robustness that Porsche would become known for.

According to the Kardex and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, this Porsche 356 Roadster was completed in March 1961 and delivered to Porsche Car Import in Northbrook, IL. The car was finished in Aetna Blue (6003) with a Red Leatherette interior and features engine number 603642 and gearbox number 39493. After its original purchase, the car spent time in Costa Mesa, CA, before being stored indoors in 1978. It was later restored by the current owner, an expert in Porsche restorations, with attention to detail and correct components.

Today, this Porsche 356 Roadster presents as a correct and beautifully restored example, with excellent finishes, proper components, and high-quality materials. The Aetna Blue paint displays uniform gloss, and the fit and finish of all opening features are excellent. The interior has been restored accurately with correct components, featuring red leatherette and grey carpets, and the engine compartment is well-detailed and correctly restored. The car has been modestly upgraded to yield a desirable 75hp output without altering its exterior visual presentation.
