1960 Porsche 356B 1600 Super Coupe

Sooooo pretty. I find myself saying that a lot about the Porsche 356. Its shape combined with a wonderful array of available colors always attracts my notice and coming across one in a color with which I am not familiar isn’t all that rare. Many of the original colors have appeared under slightly different shades throughout Porsche’s time, so it’s not that we are completely unfamiliar with them, but they are subtly different. Different is nice. The color we have this time is Aetna Blue, a non-metallic light blue that really looks good on the 356, and here it’s contrasted with a grey interior, black carpets, and a hint of wood. A wonderful vintage automobile.

Hunting Ridge has had a nice array of Porsches lately that have all looked very attractive and well sorted. They aren’t always the most inexpensive of dealers, but their cars do look good. I suspect this one will prove no different. It looks fantastic, there’s little question about that. Inside and out everything looks in really nice condition and everything is said to be functional. The engine is a rebuilt unit upgraded to 1720 cc, which should provide a little extra thrust to suit your motoring needs. The mileage, assuming it is correct, is extremely reasonable for a car of this age. It would be worthwhile to look through its history to try and confirm the mileage or, at least, try to understand its usage. There is said to be ample documentation that comes with the car so the hope is that we can piece together the history and fully come to terms with what we’re getting. Regardless, this is a really nice 356 that I think should have plenty of appeal among fans of these vintage Porsches. I know I’m enjoying it!
