  1961 Porsche 356B Super-90 Coupe

  VIN No. 113XXX

  Engine No. 801XXX - Matching

  Transmission No. 39XXX - Matching

  Completed September 8, 1960

  Originally delivered by Porsche Car Pacific in San Francisco,

  California to the first owner Frank Cox from Portland Oregon.

  Original delivered in Signal Red with a Black interior and a

  Super-90 motor which was the highest horsepower push-rod, producing

  90 HP. Currently, finished in a period-correct, special order color

  Royal Blue (6012) with a black leatherette interior.

  European Collectibles did a beautiful cosmetic and mechanical

  restoration on this 1961 Porsche 356B Super-90 Coupe. During the

  restoration, this 356 was completely disassembled so that every

  aspect could be properly addressed. All panels are matching and

  were pre-fit with bumpers, to ensure the best result. The cosmetic

  restoration included paint, the chrome was triple-plated, new deco

  bumper trim, rubber seals, a German interior was installed, and the

  components were restored or replaced. The driveline was also

  rebuilt including the engine top-end, transmission, suspension,

  braking system, and fuel system. The undercarriage is solid and

  rust free and has been stripped to steel, and fully detailed,

  including the suspension componets, engine, and transmission.

  The Royal Blue exterior paint is in beautiful condition,

  complemented by silver steel rims, chrome Super hubcaps with

  Porsche crests, and mounted to Vredestein Sprint Classic 165 HR 15

  tires. The interior features black leatherette, black VDM steering

  wheel with Porsche horn button, detailed VDO instrumentation

  including a dash-mounted clock, Custom Sound Bluetooth handsfree

  stereo, dome lights, chrome trim, two-point lap belts and black

  floor mats.

  Mechanically this is an amazing 356 to drive with a matching

  1.6-liter Super 90 flat-four engine (Type 616/7) that performs

  flawlessly with plenty of power producing 90 HP at 5500 RPM, and

  has 89 lb.ft. of torque at 4300 RPM. European Collectibles has done

  the following work including a top-end engine rebuild with new

  pistons and cylinders, rebuild cylinder heads with new valves and

  guides, new push rods, and a gasket set. The manual 4-speed

  transmission (Type 741) has been rebuilt with new synchromesh,

  bearing and gaskets and shifts through all the gears with ease. The

  four-wheel drum brakes have been rebuilt, including the wheel

  cylinders, brake lines, brakes shoes and master cylinder. Recently

  serviced with fresh oil, oil filter, fuel filter, adjusted the

  carburetors, and the engine has been tuned. Truly a pleasure to

  drive with plenty of power, smooth shifting transmission and a

  rebuilt braking system! Its top speed is 110+ MPH.
