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 husband was the original owner of a 1996 Porsche 911 Cabriolet that he truly treasured. I say ‘was’ because unfortunately, he has back problems that made it difficult for him to enter and exit the vehicle, so it was decided it was time to sell. He did his research and was very impressed. He called Alex, the owner, who promptly scheduled an appointment to have someone come out to see the car. David arrived with a flatbed in case we were able to make a deal. I cannot say enough wonderful things about David. He is super personable, polite, kind, caring, and respectful. He did it all. He took photos of the car and went over every detail with Alex on the phone. When it came time for the offer, we were grateful that we were able to come to an agreement on a fair price. Alex was a pleasure to work with. He understood how difficult it was for us to part with a car that meant so much, and the entire process could not have gone any smoother. Everything was handled in a way that truly honored both the car and the memories attached to it. True to his word, the money was wired into our account right then on the spot. In closing, if you are looking to sell or buy a classic car, we highly recommend not looking elsewhere. This company is truly top notch.”

“I finally recently realized that my pride and joy, a beautiful German that I’ve owned for 35 years had to go. I received what was a modest offer from the dealer that I use in the Chicago area and was torn as to take the offer or not. My wife quickly got online and started researching exotic car, buyers and Alex’s name popped up right away. Thinking that this wouldn’t go very far. I gave a quick call to his office and virtually immediately he called back. He needed a little bit of information which I gave him and he immediately made me an offer that was significantly higher than the dealer. I actually sort of lost my breath for a second! I’m not kidding. Before I could even answer yes he said if I answer yes, right now he would up the offer by 20%! I started laughing out loud and said yes the whole transaction couldn’t have taken more than 30 seconds! The money came in a wire transfer that same day, he arranged for the pick up of the car and the transfer out to California. it all happened so fast it felt like my old girlfriend just jumped up and left me! However, it was a really excellent experience 5+ stars the whole way no drawbacks at all that I can think of. I don’t know if I would sell her again, but if I did, I would call him first for sure. Bing bang boom that should be his nickname! Anyways, thanks again, Alex.”
