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.

“Wow – awesome experience. I’ve owned the car for 23 years and it was time to let it go to someone who could enjoy driving it more. Living in a rural area in Tennessee, I was not ready for the long haul of trying to sell a classic. I submitted pictures to Alex on Sunday night and was made an offer on Monday morning. I was very pleased with the price and the transaction process. Thanks for making a difficult decision easier!”

“This was one of the easiest transactions I’ve ever done. Dealing with Alex and his staff was a courteous and professional experience. Alex and I arrived at a price for my Porsche 914 in less than 10 minutes on the phone. Within 24 hours I had a cashiers check, and within 2 days my car was on a trailer and headed for LA. It couldn’t have been easier or effortless. Thank you Alex.”

“I worked with Tony on the sale of my 1978 911sc and I highly recommend company.

“It was a pleasure dealing with you Alex. You were reasonable, prompt and efficient in the business end. Allison did an excellent job on wrapping up the details. Arrangements for shipping were great–shipper was professional, communicated well on pickup time, and was just a really nice guy. Overall great experience. Sad to let the car go I had owned for 36 years, but I feel as if it is in good hands now. I hope the car works out well for you and I wish you the best in your pursuits.”
