1963 Porsche 356B Coupe

This 1963 Porsche 356B coupe retains its numbers-matching 1,582cc flat-four and had one repaint in its original color. Painted steel wide fives wear non-crested chrome caps, and a matching spare is included in the front compartment. Body-colored bumpers retain their chrome overriders. Rubber seals are tired throughout, with some showing tape lines from the 1980s paintwork. Badging includes a riveted-on Porsche script, as well as a single Karmann emblem on the right fender. Brown leatherette upholstery looks to be in nice shape along with the door panels, carpets, and rubber mats. The original radio is included in the sale but not currently installed. The clock is inoperative, as is the 5-digit odometer, which has been stopped at just over 94k miles since at least the 2010 mechanical work. Power comes from the numbers-matching 1,582cc flat-four, which was professionally rebuilt in 2010 with new pistons, cylinders, bearings, push rod tubes, and other replacement items. Cylinder heads were resurfaced and received new valves, springs, and guides. The 4-speed manual transmission received a new clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. This driving video demonstrates acceleration and braking through the gears, as well as the function of switches, variable-speed wipers, turn signals, and instruments. A variety of underbody photos show the general condition of the drivetrain, suspension, pans, and undercoated chassis parts. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity matches the engine number stamped into the block along with confirming the original color and trim options. Records include a $13k receipt for the 2010 engine rebuild and other work. Filed under: 356
