mens.life | 1962 Porsche 356B 1600S Twin Grille Roadster!

This 356B is one of 248 roadster models featuring T6, “twin-grille” coachwork making it VERY desirable. The roadster model was introduced in 1960 as a replacement for the one-year-only Convertible D, and in 1962 saw the introduction of T6 bodywork with its dual engine lid grilles.

The coachwork is from D’Ieteren Frères. The car reportedly spent much of its early life in California and was cosmetically refurbished in the mid-2000s, which included repainting the car in black and reupholstering the interior in tan leather. The numbers-matching 1.6-liter Super flat-four remains fitted and is paired with a replacement four-speed transaxle. Following the refurbishment, the car spent time in the Oldenburg Collection before being acquired by the selling dealer in March 2020. This 356B roadster is now offered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and a clean California title.

Originally trimmed in grey, the interior was reupholstered in the mid-2000s and features a tan leather dash pad, door panels, and seats, along with matching square-weave carpets and a black rubber floor mat. The reclining seats were a factory option, and additional amenities include aftermarket headrests, door pockets with locking clasps, chrome-plated interior fittings, and a height-adjustable rearview mirror. The horn was repaired in March 2020.

This one may still need a little work. Depending on where the reserve is set, this could be a steal for the right collector!
