Modified 1963 Porsche 356B Coupe is up for auction

Whether it’s an original or a modified car, any example of Porsche’s first production car will attract attention. Such is the case with this Outlaw-style 1963 Porsche 356B Coupe that is for sale.

Under the bonnet is a replacement 2.2-liter flat-four equipped with dual Weber 48 IDA carburetors, an alternator conversion, and a stainless-steel sport exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a WEVO-built five-speed manual transaxle using rebuilt 914 internals. It is mounted on satin metallic black Hot Rods By Boyd 16×5.5″ wheels wrapped in 195/60 Michelin Premier A/S tires.

In 2020, the car was purchased disassembled, stripped to bare metal and equipped with replacement components and repainted in metallic brown. The owner chose Outlaw-style so all the holes for the bumper were filled, custom billet door handles were installed along with Talbot bullet-style mirrors and Flat6 LED headlights, louvers were added to the dual-grille decklid along with cutouts for the exhaust outlets, and the glass was replaced. There are also Koni shocks, and a CSP four-wheel disc brake conversion kit with drum-style hubs, and overhauled suspension.

Inside, Zims-style aluminum bomber seats are trimmed in brown leather that also covers the dash pad, door panels, and rear bulkhead. In front of the driver is a Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel and a five-digit odometer showing 51,814 miles (total mileage unknown). Accessories include a roll bar with Schroth harnesses, a 917-style wooden handle, black rubber mats that protect the dark brown square-weave carpets, and a Blaupunkt multi-band radio. A diamond-stitched leather mat lines the front trunk, which houses an Optima Red Top battery and a blade-style fuse panel.

The car comes with build documents and photos as well as a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The auction ends on August 1st and the highest bid at the time of writing was $103,560 USD.
