Selling Your 1961 Porsche 356 B Roadster?

Let’s Talk About This Classic 356!

During the 1960 production year, the Porsche 356B Roadster would effectively replace the Convertible D model that was offered only in 1959. For 1961, only 812 models of the 1961 Porsche 356B Roadster would be produced before the market’s love for open-top driving would fade. Sales for soft-top versions of the Porsche 356 would decline in the early 1960s.

Today, however, these early soft-top models are some of the most desired by buyers thanks to its classic design and sporty performance. If you’re the owner of a 1961 Porsche 356B Roadster, or any open-top 356, you likely understand this appeal.

356 B Buyer’s Guide

When selling your Roadster you may find that some uneducated buyers do not understand the difference between the Roadster and the Cabriolet that was part of the line at the same time.

The best way to explain the difference is that the Roadster featured a removable windscreen, while the Cabriolet was actually a soft-top version of the Coupe, which featured a full-size windshield with body-matching color surrounding it. Manufactured until 1962, the Roadster can be either a T-5 or T-6 body type, with the T-6 being fairly rare.

“Alex reached out to me about my Porsche 993 before I’d even finished filling out his contact form. With 2 phone calls, a few photos and a very quick negotiation the deal was done. He offered a fair price, was quick to wire payment and I was thrilled to deal with him. Easiest deal I’ve ever done. Hope to buy or sell with Alex again.”

“Alex is a pleasure to work with: low-pressure but wants make a deal, and very responsive. Within minutes of emailing him about the 1996 Porsche 993 I had for sale, he responded. He gave me a firm offer very quickly but also let me think about it for a few days while I shopped my car to other potential buyers. Eventually, I determined that his offer met my needs best, and we came to a deal and completed the transfer of funds, paperwork, and pickup of the car within a few days. Everything was super-smooth and straightforward, and I hope to do business with him again some day.”
