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.

“As the original owner of the 1967 912 Porsche Targa I shed many tears as the car transport pulled away from my home. Forty eight years is a long time to own a car and the memories of past times are strong. I am happy to see that my Porsche will again be in Southern California only 11 miles east of the dealership on Santa Monica Blvd where the car’s tires first hit the pavement on that Saturday of Labor Day weekend September 2, 1067. You made the emotional sale of my 912 Porsche easy and I thank you for your help in the sale. I hope that my Porsche finds a good home with the love and memories that I carry from my ownership.”

“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!”

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.”
