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.

“Several years ago, after back surgery, I decided to sell my Porsche. Several parties were interested, all were difficult to deal with. I decided to keep it in the garage. As we are now moving, I’m forced to put the Porsche on the market. Again, several parties were interested, Alex Manos was, by far, the most satisfactory! Alex and his expert team, made the sale process easy, efficient and professional. I would sell to or buy a car from Alex.”

“I went into the selling process with hopes that it would not be awful. It was NOT. Alex and his staff were quick, precise, honest and respectful. I may have been able to get a little more on the open market, but i would have to endure weeks of tire kickers, aggravation, and people willing to lowball me on the price. I contacted Alex on Monday, we reached a sale agreement on Tuesday, Alex paid for the car on Wednesday and picked it up on Thursday. They guided me through the sale process as cleanly as could be imagined. He got a really nice car for a competitive price and I was able to move on to other chores with a minimum of BS and aggravation.”
