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.

“Alex exceeded our expectations from the moment we contacted him to the actual transaction and transport pick-up of the vehicle we sold him. Our 1982 Porsche 911 needed a new owner, someone to drive it on a regular basis. Alex was wonderful as well as Allison. We are pleased with the final price, payment was made immediately and transport was scheduled all in a matter of one week!! Fantastic people to do business with!”
“Very impressed with the entire operation! They were professional and efficient with the sale of my Porsche. I received a fair price and the sale went without any problems. I give them 10 stars!”
“I was a bit hesitant to sell my Porsche to someone other than a local face-to-face buyer, but dealing with Alex Manos turned out to be a most pleasant experience and one that I will highly recommend to anyone considering the sale of their classic car. The sales price that we negotiated was quite fair, I believe, and the ease with which the financial transaction and vehicle pickup were completed left me completely satisfied and unburdened as a seller. I am rarely overly gracious with compliments, but if you are thinking of selling your classic car, do yourself a favor and call Alex!”
“Alex is knowledgeable and straightforward. His demeanor is excellent:he treated me with respect and was extremely accommodating. He made a solid offer for my Porsche and immediately sent it to me in writing. He Call to make sure that the money was in my account before he arranged pick up of the car. He even guided me through the wiring process as I was slightly unfamiliar with such dealings. I would call Alex 1st to sell any car he is the best.”
“Overall a positive experience. From the day I (verbally and via email) agreed to sell the car the car until the money was in my bank was just over 24 hours, as promised. Note that my Credit Union did not clear the cashier’s check until seven (7) days later: Standard operating procedure these days, I understand. Arranging for vehicle pick-up took longer than I anticipated: 22 days from date of sale. It also took a couple of contacts with PJ Vaske to help me communicate with the contract truck driver, but it all worked out well in the end. I would recommend Alex Manos to anyone with a classic vehicle for sale.”
“Overall, the process was very quick, efficient and precise. Other than having a little seller’s remorse, I was very impressed with the professionalism of the parties I worked with. I would definitely work with Alex and his team in the future when time comes to sell another classic car.”
“Very professional, courteous and quick. Will recommend to others and will buy another Porsche when ready. Thank you. Roman”
“Selling my Porsche to Alex Manos was quick and pleasant. All of the people I had contact with were friendly and very helpful. I contacted them on a Friday and a price was agreed upon. Saturday I received a cashier’s check. The check cleared my bank on Wednesday and the trucking company picked my car on Thursday. The best selling experience I have ever had.”
“Very straightforward and fair. The process was painless and selling my beloved air cooled Porsche was very painless. I avoided all headaches of showing the car as it was purchased sight unseen for a fair market value.”
“Alex and his team provided a seamless transaction. Prompt, polite, and professional.”
