For 1960, after five years of 356 A production, Porsche announced another major revision - enough to warrant a change in the name to 356 B. Raised bumpers and headlamps ensured the new car met increasingly stringent safety standards in the US. The hood handle's size was increased for ease of use while front vent windows increased passenger comfort. Redesigned rear seats and a new steering wheel refreshed interior styling.
Performance-wise, the company introduced larger brakes and updated motors. The traditional pushrod flat-4 was now offered in three outputs: the standard with 60hp, a "Super" with 75hp, and the range-topping "Super 90" with 90hp. While exceptionally well-heeled buyers could specify the DOHC flat-4 racing motor in the Carrera 2, enthusiasts who desired a quick and reliable sports car were better served with the Super 90. The same holds true today, which is why 356 Super 90s are well-regarded by enthusiasts and investors alike.
The incredible 1963 Porsche 356 B 1600 Super 90 Coupe featured here is finished in rare and highly desirable Smyrna Green over a gorgeous Brown leatherette interior. Originally delivered to Ronald Day of Wakefield, Massachusetts, this magnificent Porsche has had just one meticulous family owner from new and is among one of the finest examples we've offered in years. As proven by a copy of its factory Kardex, this exceptional 356 B is still fitted from the factory with its original matching numbers 'Super 90' performance motor, making this the perfect example to add to any premier collection. We are proud to offer this investment-grade Porsche to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the best at an investment price!
