Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Detroit is thrilled to present this 1960 Porsche 356 B for sale. The Porsche 356 is a sports car that was first produced by Austrian company Porsche Konstruktionen GesmbH, and then by German company Dr. Ing. H. c. F. Porsche GmbH. It was Porsche's first production automobile. The 356 is a lightweight and nimble-handling, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive, built of a unibody construction.
The 356 B was produced from 1960-1963. In late 1959 significant styling and technical refinements gave rise to the 356 B (a T5 body type). The basic design of the 356 remained the same throughout the end of its lifespan in 1965, with evolutionary, functional improvements rather than annual superficial styling changes.
This 1960 Porsche 356 B, is powered by a rebuilt 1600 cc engine, paired to the original rebuilt 4 speed manual transmission. The exterior had all the body metal restored and painted the original Signal Red color. The Tan interior has been redone including seat upholstery, dash pad, headliner, door panels, and new carpet. Original factors to this vehicle are the Doors and Handles, Gauges, Hood, Decklid, Glass, Headlights, Taillights, Chrome, Rims, and Gas Tank. This beauty has also been through a very recent tune up to ensure she is running like a top!

About Porsche 356
The Porsche 356 is an iconic sports car that was produced from 1948 to 1965. It is considered to be the first production car to bear the Porsche name and is known for its unique design and exceptional performance.The 356 was initially designed by Ferdinand Porsche in the late 1940s as a lightweight and nimble sports car that could be used for racing. The first prototypes were built using Volkswagen components, as Porsche was still closely associated with the German automaker at the time. However, the final design of the 356 was a significant departure from the VW Beetle, and featured a sleek, aerodynamic body that was both beautiful and functional.
Over the years, the 356 evolved through several iterations, each of which added new features and improved performance. The early models were powered by a 1.1-liter flat-four engine that produced around 40 horsepower, while later models featured larger engines with up to 130 horsepower.
Despite its humble beginnings, the Porsche 356 quickly became a favorite among driving enthusiasts, both on the road and the racetrack. Its combination of style, performance, and handling made it a true sports car icon, and it helped to establish Porsche as one of the world's leading automakers. Today, the 356 remains a highly sought-after collector's car, with prices that can range from tens of thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the model and condition.
