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.

“My car sale was simple, fast and efficient. Alex is enthusiastic and fair. I recommend him highly and would be happy to work with him anytime i am buying or selling a car.”
“Alex purchased my Porsche. From phone call, to money in the bank was less than 24 hours, and the car was taken away. Would use again. Fair price fast service.”
“I can’t imagine a scenario where the sales process could have gone more smoothly. Everyone I dealt with, starting with Alex and ending with the vehicle transport, was incredibly professional, efficient, and transparent. I’m very impressed with every aspect of the transaction and look forward to doing business with Alex in the future.”
“My name is Dave Osborne (aka Super Dave as most people call me). I lost my brother last year and inherited his 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera. The car needed fair amount work which I was not in the position to handle so I decided to sell it. I had an offer from a local guy but it was less than I really wanted to let it go for. I found Alex on the internet and gave him a call. He was very interested in the car and he made me an offer $3000.00 more than the offer I was given. I felt his offer was good for me and good for him so we did the deal over the phone and he had a check at my door the next day. Alex and his staff are really great people and a pleasure to do business with. I was very happy that I found Alex and sold the car to him. The transport guy showed up on the day and time we had arranged and everything went smooth as silk.
The incredible thing was we had planned the pick up for a Wednesday because I was going to be at my brothers place that day for an appraisal but he called me on Monday because he was in the area a day early so I went up and met him on Tuesday where he picked up the car. That night there was a severe wind storm and when I showed up Wednesday for the appraisal there were 3 huge limbs that came down from about 120 feet out of the cedar tree and they all landed right where the Porsche was parked. It would have been totaled. Someone was looking down on me, maybe my brother. If you have a classic car that you want to sell and get a fair price you have to call Alex. I am very happy that I found Alex and sold my brothers Porsche to him. He is very professional and a man of his word. Thank you Alex and your staff for treating me so good.”
“Very impressed with the extremely fast and professional service I received. That is very hard to find these days and I am very grateful for the wonderful service. I would recommend Alex to anyone in the market. I am sure I will be doing more business with him in the future.”
“I spent 26 years in the car business with a VW Audi Subaru dealership in Nebraska. I researched the valuation of my 1997 Porsche 993TT before contacting several exotic car dealers around the country. Alex’s website states he is a serious buyer for 993s and so he was. He promptly replied to my email with photos of the car after a fairly short business like negotiation we reached an agreement. The money arrived at our bank account the following day. His company’s transportation coordinator, Camille, contacted me right after that. I was concerned that the Porsche might have a clearance problem but Camille assured me that they are very familiar with these kind of cars and there won’t be any problems. (and she was right!) Alex has 2 very efficient and friendly ladies in the business office. My experience with Alex and his company left nothing to be desired. I would gladly do business with them again in the future.”
“Calling Alex was probably the smartest thing I have done in awhile. He has put together a team of professionals that not only do their jobs very well but enjoy what they do. They were ahead of me the whole process from paperwork to payment to transportation. Customer service at its finest, something that you don’t see anymore. Many Thanks!”
“Working with Alex and his team was a pleasant surprise!! Besides making me a very fair and reasonable offer for my 68′ 912, I found Alex (and Roxana and Camille) to be extremely professional and courteous! So much better than having to deal with the typical hassles of the numerous on line marketplaces. I highly recommended Alex and team to anyone considering selling their prized classic!”
“Completely seamless, straightforward, everything occurred as promised. Did not waste a bit of my time. Brief negotiation with respect.”
“Working with Alex was great. The process was smooth and his team ensured every question I asked was answered quickly. I was on a tight timeframe due to a move and the entire sale from my initial call to picking up the car was only 5 days, including a weekend! I’d recommend giving Alex a chance to discuss your classic car.”
