AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Porsche - 356 B T6 Super 90 - 1963
GENERAL:
The Porsche 356 B represented a significant advance in the evolution of the iconic Stuttgart model, introducing substantial improvements in handling and comfort. This unit belongs to the T6 series, recognizable by its squared-off front hood and dual ventilation grills on the engine lid, features that marked the technical and visual maturity of this model before the arrival of the 911. The Super 90 (S90) version was the most powerful and sporty naturally aspirated engine variant of the 356 B range, 1.6 liters, originally equipped with the Type 616/7 90 HP engine, reinforced connecting rods, and a rear transverse compensating shock absorber in the suspension. This unit, in good condition and restored, was originally sold in the United States, from where it was imported to Spain in 2007. Since arriving in Spanish territory it has belonged to three owners. It is delivered in its current state after undergoing a complete restoration that required a total of 7 years of work.
BODYWORK AND PAINT:
The vehicle underwent a full restoration process from scratch on an excellent base, in which it was completely dismantled, as documented in the process photographs. The restoration work concluded in March 2023. However, the paint finish did not reach the highest standards of quality, so the body requires touch-ups in several spots, notably a small scuff on the driver’s door detailed in the photographs. The structure is fully free of rust and it has completely new rubber seals installed in the doors, windshield, and windows. All the glass is original and in optimal condition with no scratches.
MECHANICS:
Currently the car is equipped with a 1600 SC engine tuned with two new Weber carburetors to optimize performance. All mechanical parts were inspected and installed as new during the restoration, including the replacement of brakes, shock absorbers, belts, filters, and hoses. Recently a check and tune-up of small details was carried out at an authorized Porsche service, photographs are attached and the official invoice will be provided to the buyer. Additionally, the seller offers the possibility of acquiring, at an extra cost, an S90 engine for restoration, whose serial number differs by only 200 numbers from the original block of this unit.
INTERIOR:
The cabin has been renewed faithfully respecting the original design, highlighting a completely new white headliner and a new black leather upholstery. All interior lighting is in perfect condition, having been updated with LED bulbs that maintain the color tone corresponding to the period. As a detail of authenticity, the dashboard still retains its original radio.
DOCUMENTATION:
The car is currently registered in Spain as a Historic Vehicle. It includes its original Spanish maintenance manual, the 7-year restoration photo dossier, and the recent official invoice issued by the official Porsche service along with detailed invoices from Porsche Classic.
PICK-UP:
Torroella de Montgrí, Spain.
OTHER INFORMATION:
As a final complement for its preservation, the vehicle includes a high-quality custom-fitted 'glove' cover adorned with the brand emblem together with the model and year of the car.
