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.

“I am very happy with my experience of selling my 911 SC to Alex Manos. Payment was made promptly and the shipping arranged by the seller was trouble free. I would recommend Alex Manos to anyone who would like very stress free way to sell a car.”
“My experience with Alex and his team was great. They are very courteous and professional. Despite some delay in picking up the 1987 Carrera Targa due to the transporter truck’s mechanical problems, the cross country (from Florida to California) transaction was pleasant. It might sound strange to say that the most difficult part of this transaction for me who has pre-existing back pain is bending/twisting the body to take pictures of the interior of a small sport car. I would strongly recommend Alex if you want to sell/buy a classic car!”
“The response from Alex Manos was outstanding. On initial communication, conversation was clear and concise. My comfort level was quickly established. I wondered hope payment for Porsche would be made with me in Maryland and Alex in California. Alex explained process and in minutes full payment was transferred to my bank with paperwork to justify actions. His office staff coordinated shipment of Porsche and within 24 hours transporter date/time pickup was finalized. Would I sell another vehicle to Alex? ABSOLUTELY!”
“It was a pleasure dealing with Alex Everything he said he would do he did. It was the easiest transaction I have ever had. Also his associates were very professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely do business with him again. Thanks!”
“Alex was very professional and was knowledgeable about my early Porsche 911. A fair price was settled on the same morning I made the call. Payment was received within 24 hours and the car was picked up a few days later. All the staff were very friendly and kept me informed of all aspects of the transaction.”
“I highly recommend Alex Manos to anyone who is selling a Porsche 911. He is true to his word, the process is surprisingly easy, and he paid a very fair price. I look forward to doing business with him again.”
“The process was easy, smooth and quick. I am from the western part of Michigan and was on-line researching forums for information on how to remove the airbox from my 74 911 Porsche Targa when I saw an ad from a classic car dealer. Out of curiosity, I thought I would give Alex a call and see how low of an offer he would make as this car was not running and would need a lot of work. As he had asked, I took about 8 or 10 pictures and texted them to him. The next day he called me with an offer. We were able to split the difference from what I thought the car was worth and what he wanted to pay. The next day the cashier’s check arrived via FedEx with a prepaid return envelope for the title and any service records. On Friday afternoon the car carrier arrived and took the car. I called Alex on a Tuesday and the car was gone on Friday. Very happy to know this car will be restored and made new again.”
“I called Alex to seek his interest in my 97 Porsche turbo… he was interested. We negotiated a reasonable price over a few days and arrived at a reasonable number. He wire transferred the funds the next day and he had the car picked up at my home the following day. This was a seamless transaction and Alex did everything he professed. I will share this experience with my friends.”
“It was a great experience for me, I sent an email with a photo of the car. Alex contacted me, and I provided some additional information and the whole transaction was completed within an hour to include money in my account and required paperwork. I was very happy with the communication, planning and closing of the sale. By far it went easier than I expected. My Man Manos runs a well oiled machine.”
“I have loved driving this car for a long time – l even took it through the “twisties” and the “turnies” on the Blue Ridge Parkway two days before Alex’s truck picked it up! But I am 75 years old and driving it was more fun than getting into or out of it! It was time for someone else to enjoy it, and Alex and his team made that possible (and easy).”
