1961 Porsche 356B Super Coupe

VIN 114312 • Engine No. 88106 – Matching • Transmission No. 41848 – Matching • Porsche Kardex • Completed September 12, 1960

Single ownership for 54 years, finished in Black with a Red interior, and retains its matching 1600cc Super engine and transmission. Delivered new through Hoffman Motors in New York, the 356 was originally finished in Light Ivory (6004) with Red vinyl upholstery delivered to the first owner, Andrew S. Bara, in Fort Sheridan, Illinois. It later passed to its second owner, Mr McGauran, in the early 1970s, who retained the 356 for over five decades prior to its acquisition by European Collectibles. The paintwork is in very nice overall condition with patina in the paint and chrome, giving this 356 a driver’s-level character. The interior is finished in Red leatherette with red German square weave carpets and features an original VDM steering wheel, restored VDO instrumentation, and a Porsche radio delete plate. Notable originality remains throughout this 356, including matching decklids, engine, and transmission. The fuel tank and sending unit are also date-coded 1960 and are original to the car. Painted 4.5” x 15” slotted steel wheels are mounted to Vredestein Sprint Classic 165 HR15 tires (date code 2024).
