The vehicle in detail

European Collectibles did a beautiful cosmetic and mechanical restoration on this 1961 Porsche 356B Super-90 Coupe. During the restoration, this 356 was completely disassembled so that every aspect could be properly addressed. All panels are matching and were pre-fit with bumpers, to ensure the best result. The cosmetic restoration included paint, the chrome was triple-plated, new deco bumper trim, rubber seals, a German interior was installed, and the components were restored or replaced. The driveline was also rebuilt including the engine top-end, transmission, suspension, braking system, and fuel system. The undercarriage is solid and rust free and has been stripped to steel, and fully detailed, including the suspension componets, engine, and transmission.

The Royal Blue exterior paint is in beautiful condition, complemented by silver steel rims, chrome Super hubcaps with Porsche crests, and mounted to Vredestein Sprint Classic 165 HR 15 tires. The interior features black leatherette, black VDM steering wheel with Porsche horn button, detailed VDO instrumentation including a dash-mounted clock, Custom Sound Bluetooth handsfree stereo, dome lights, chrome trim, two-point lap belts and black floor mats.

Mechanically this is an amazing 356 to drive with a matching 1.6-liter Super 90 flat-four engine (Type 616/7) that performs flawlessly with plenty of power producing 90 HP at 5500 RPM, and has 89 lb.ft. of torque at 4300 RPM. European Collectibles has done the following work including a top-end engine rebuild with new pistons and cylinders, rebuild cylinder heads with new valves and guides, new push rods, and a gasket set. The manual 4-speed transmission (Type 741) has been rebuilt with new synchromesh, bearing and gaskets and shifts through all the gears with ease. The four-wheel drum brakes have been rebuilt, including the wheel cylinders, brake lines, brakes shoes and master cylinder. Recently serviced with fresh oil, oil filter, fuel filter, adjusted the carburetors, and the engine has been tuned. Truly a pleasure to drive with plenty of power, smooth shifting transmission and a rebuilt braking system! Its top speed is 110+ MPH.
