1962 Porsche 356B T6 Super Cabriolet

Hoffman Motors Corporation of New York, New York delivered this 356 to the first owner Dr. Grasselli of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally finished in Oslo Blue (6203) with Red leatherette interior. At one point the body was repainted black over the original Oslo Blue paint. This is a very complete 356B T6 Cabriolet, not running or driving, and will need a complete restoration. The undercarriage will require metal work including new floor pans, longitudinals, jack spurs and closing panels. The interior is complete with the original red leather front seats, rear seats, AM/FM Blaupunkt radio, and VDO instrumentation. Matching number 1600cc Super engine and 4-speed manual 741 transmission with four-wheel disc braking system. Complete with original keys, driver’s manual, Kardex, jack, spare tire, and tonneau cover. Excellent opportunity to acquire a matching numbers 356B Cabriolet project!

The vehicle in detail

History: The 356 B T6 body was the last 356 body change until the end of production. It was introduced September 1961 for the 1962 to 1963 model year. It featured four-wheel ribbed drum brakes all around with better cooling, as well as three options of the 1600cc pushrod engine. The rear deck now had twin grills for better cooling of the engine, the front hood was squared off in the front and the fuel tank was changed to include an outside fuel fill with a fuel door. The best of all the 356 transmissions was the 741, which was like shifting threw butter with full synchromesh manual 4-speed and of course, the ZF steering box made the 356s a joy in the corners!
