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 decided I had to part with my ’64 356SC after several years. Once I had made the decision, I called Alex more or less as a trial, and his offer was more than fair and and the process was handled in an efficient and convenient manner. Alex and his staff are real pros, and know the cars and the needs of sellers. I’m and old car guy who has bought and sold numerous sports and performance cars since the 1960s. No complaints.”

“I had read the testimonials and wasn’t sure I believed them all. Then this happened. Thursday afternoon I uploaded 10 pictures of my 1966 Porsche 911S to the website. 20 minutes later Alex calls me. He makes an offer, I counter. We agree on a price. He sends me an electronic bill of sale to sign. 20 minutes later Alex calls to say the funds have been transferred to my account. 20 minutes later my bank verifies that the funds have been received. 20 minutes later Jamilah calls to verify paperwork requirements for transfer of title. 20 minutes later Camille calls and makes arrangements to pick up the Porsche for transport the following day. 20 minutes later Alex calls and thanks me for selling him my car. Add it up. That’s 2 hours from when I posted the pictures. 2 hours. Alex, Jamilah, and Camille were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. All business should be conducted this way!”

“The hardest part of selling my 1979 Porsche 911SC was deciding to part with it after more than 20 years of ownership. Our Classic cars become a part of us in some way. Alex understood my feelings and told me he would make me his best offer. When I received it I realized I was dealing with a good businessman. Alex did not Low-Ball me but left room for his business to make something on their end of what I feel was a very good deal. Alex is the real deal, he doesn’t try and pressure a sale or attempt to devalue your vehicle, he understands Classic cars. It was a pleasure doing business with him and his staff, they could not have made the transaction easier, the money was in my account before they picked up my Porsche. Thank you Alex, if I had another Classic I would call you..”
