1961 Porsche 356B Super-90 Coupe

Finished in a period-correct, special order color Royal Blue (6012) with a black leatherette interior, this 356B Super 90 Coupe represents what was then the highest horsepower model of the Porsche pushrod street platform. Producing 90 HP, the Super 90 iteration performed nearly as well as the more complex 4-cam Carrera it was intended to replace for street use.

The vehicle in detail

A full cosmetic restoration included paint, re-chromed brightwork, new aluminum trim, rubber seals, and a complete new German interior to very high standards. The non-metallic, medium blue exterior is complemented by chrome Super hubcaps with Porsche crests, painted silver steel rims mounted to Vredestein Sprint Classic 165 HR 15 tires, the dual exhaust exiting through the rear chrome bumperettes, horn grills above and below the front bumper, a chrome driver side mirror, gold Porsche and Super 90 script. A black leatherette interior features a black VDM steering wheel, detailed VDO gauges including a dash-mounted clock, map lights above both doors, and chrome trim. Two-point lap belts with black floor mats provide finishing touches.

Mechanically this is an amazing 356 to drive with the 1.6-liter Super 90 flat-four, air-cooled engine – Type 616/7 which produces 90 HP at 5500 RPM, and 89 lb.ft. of torque at 4300 RPM. Power to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual Type 741 transmission with a four-wheel drum braking system. Its top speed is 110+ MPH. The motor, transmission, suspension and braking system have all been rebuilt and perform flawlessly. The undercarriage has been stripped to steel and is fully detailed including the suspension. Recently serviced with fresh oil, oil filter, fuel filter, adjusted the carburetors, and tuned the engine. Truly a pleasure to drive with plenty of power, smooth shifting transmission and a rebuilt braking system!
