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 initial vehicle submission was on Thursday. The offer AND bank wire payment was the next day. Pickup at my home was on Saturday. Every aspect went without a hitch. It was the easiest thing to do thanks to Alex’s superb and efficient process.”

“Alex and his team made this process very easy for me. I sold a 1986 Porsche TARGA, which I loved for over 20 years. I had recently acquired a new Porsche and was not driving the 86 sufficiently to justify keeping it. I feel confident that Alex will find a new owner who will love and care for this car as I have done for over 20 years, They picked up the car at my home and made the process easy. It’s always a little uncomfortable, making such a large transaction over the phone but he could not have made it any easier and I’m very pleased. Aloha and best always David.”
