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.

“I highly recommend Alex Manos to anyone who is selling a Porsche 911. He is true to his word, the process is surprisingly easy, and he paid a very fair price. I look forward to doing business with him again.”
“The process was easy, smooth and quick. I am from the western part of Michigan and was on-line researching forums for information on how to remove the airbox from my 74 911 Porsche Targa when I saw an ad from a classic car dealer. Out of curiosity, I thought I would give Alex a call and see how low of an offer he would make as this car was not running and would need a lot of work. As he had asked, I took about 8 or 10 pictures and texted them to him. The next day he called me with an offer. We were able to split the difference from what I thought the car was worth and what he wanted to pay. The next day the cashier’s check arrived via FedEx with a prepaid return envelope for the title and any service records. On Friday afternoon the car carrier arrived and took the car. I called Alex on a Tuesday and the car was gone on Friday. Very happy to know this car will be restored and made new again.”
“I called Alex to seek his interest in my 97 Porsche turbo… he was interested. We negotiated a reasonable price over a few days and arrived at a reasonable number. He wire transferred the funds the next day and he had the car picked up at my home the following day. This was a seamless transaction and Alex did everything he professed. I will share this experience with my friends.”
“It was a great experience for me, I sent an email with a photo of the car. Alex contacted me, and I provided some additional information and the whole transaction was completed within an hour to include money in my account and required paperwork. I was very happy with the communication, planning and closing of the sale. By far it went easier than I expected. My Man Manos runs a well oiled machine.”
“I have loved driving this car for a long time – l even took it through the “twisties” and the “turnies” on the Blue Ridge Parkway two days before Alex’s truck picked it up! But I am 75 years old and driving it was more fun than getting into or out of it! It was time for someone else to enjoy it, and Alex and his team made that possible (and easy).”
“My experience selling my 1968 Porsche was excellent in every way. It was less than a half hour between the time I first logged on the site and the Bill of Sale was in my hand at a price which was significantly higher than what I was able to get locally. I hated to see the car go but it was time for it to find a new home. The only semi-glitch was a delay in the pick up at my home due to circumstances beyond their control. The driver was friendly and efficient. He knew what he was doing.”
“The experience with Alex and his team was terrific. Alex offered the best price and his team made the selling experience extremely easy from all the documentation and pick up process. Everyone was extremely professional, courteous and accommodating.”
“This was the easiest and fairest process I have ever done, with Alex on the west coast and me on the east coast. Alex was fair, responsive and true to his word. Once an agreement was made we conducted business with a “virtual” handshake. It’s refreshing to see there are still people conducting business honestly, fairly and with great communication. I would recommend anyone looking to sell their classic car(s) to contact Alex.”
“This was the smoothest, quickest, & the most exceptional transaction with a dealership that I have ever experienced. No bull or waste of time. It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Mr. Manos, and he is truly a professional!”
“I sold my Porsche to Alex Manos after my car was damaged in a fire. Alex was quick to make offer for the car. Alex staff are professionals. Alex had car picked up here in South Texas. Money was paid without delay. I would work with A!ex again.”
