The vehicle in detail

The earliest known history begins in 2002 when it was purchased by Mr. Gates who lived in Tallahassee, Florida. During his ownership, the vehicle was serviced at Capital Euro Cars in Tallahassee, Florida where it received regular maintenance. After careful consideration, Mr. Gates worked with Remade by Hand Inc. in Crawfordville, Florida to complete the mechanical work from 2019-2020. The work performed included rebuilding the transmission, steering box, and braking system. All-new wheel cylinders were installed, new window seals, new carpeting, and a new battery were replaced. The engine received a valve adjustment, new valve covers gaskets, the fuel pump was rebuilt, new spark plugs, and new Weber 40 IDF carburetors were also installed along with a new muffler. The total cost was $34,339.01.

Mechanically powered by a matching 1600cc Normal flat-four engine (producing 60hp) with a recently rebuilt manual 4-speed 741 transmission and rebuilt four-wheel drum braking system. Complete with owner’s manual, a Porsche Product Specifications certificate, recent service records, and two keys. An excellent opportunity to acquire a very well sorted and well-documented rare 356 T6 Notchback in this condition.

History
A unique “Karmann Hardtop” or “Notchback” 356 B model was produced in 1961 and 1962. The 1961 production run (T5) was essentially a cabriolet body with the optional steel cabriolet hardtop welded in place. The 1962 line (T6 production) was a very different design in that the new T6 Notchback Coupé body did not start life as a cabriolet, but with its own production design—In essence, part cabriolet rear end design, part T6 coupé windshield frame, unique hard top. Both years of these unique cars have taken the name “Karmann Notchback”.
