1960 Porsche Super Roadster Cabriolet Convertible Ca Orig Yellow Plate Perfect! on 2040-cars

1960 PORSCHE SUPER

Black on Black Roadster Cabriolet

Original California Yellow Plate Car

I purchased my Porsche 356 SUPER at the prestigious Monterey Classics about 15 years ago. It started out as a very straight original Californian restoration. A very fine example of what I was looking for.  I always wanted a 1960 Porsche Cabriolet in Black and with this car being so straight and un-molested, I knew I could achieve my dream car with this one.

Over the years, I improved on this car by having the motor rebuilt by Elite Automotive, a highly respectable engine builder of high end cars.  The "SUPER engine differs from the normal engines by higher performance and greater torque". I spent close to $15k for the build (see invoices) Total Engine rebuild which include opening all oil ports for better oil flow and adding an external oil filter for better dependability. 

Inside the car:

The Leather Interior is in excellent condition as well as the Carpet, Seats with added Head Rests, Fold Down rear seats, Headliner, Door Panels, CoCo Floor Mats and Stay Fast Cloth Convertible Top. All Interior Chrome in excellent condition as well. All gauges work. Radio and Clock stopped working. My friend next door with his CNC machine shop built a beautiful billet aluminum radio bezel to replace the cracked plastic original bezel. It complements the Nardi Aluminum Spoke wood steering wheel nicely.

Exterior:

I took my Porsche to an Old School Painter named Jav. He paints cars that include old classic Porsches, Ferraris and Lamborghinis. He takes only one car at a time and the duration is about 6 months to completion. Everything was stripped from the car. On my Porsche he stripped the entire exterior of all the paint using just a single sided razor blade! He expanded why. He said this curvaceous body has no flat panels so why use a long straight edge to strip paint and risk damage to the curves? It made sense, but very time consuming as he didn’t use paint stripper as well to prevent contamination to the paint. He would then lightly  hand sand the car down perfectly smooth. Painted with a high Quality paint in Porsche Raven Black with several coats of color sanded Glasso Clear to give it debt. The paint on my car is flawless!

All the panels were painted off the car and realigned to leave perfect spaced door gaps to the Hood, Trunk and both Doors. (see pics)

In the front storage compartment you will find the original floor jack, New 12V Bosch battery and convertible top boot. All is detailed (see pics)

The Engine Compartment is detailed as well as under the car. The original Floor Pan is very nice with no damage or rust repair. One of the main reasons I purchased a California Original. I have a folder of receipts of improvements I made to the car over the years. This car needs nothing.

My car drives straight and smooth and doesn’t miss a beat with the engine. It runs perfect with no room to improve on it.  All shifting linkage is tight with replaced shifter bushings. New Tires and Chrome on the wheels and caps are excellent.

There is absolutly nothing needed for this car except for maybe replacing the original internals in the radio and upgrading the clock to a Quartz movement.

I occasionally take it out for a ride on nice days and it gets it share of compliments and looks. You will be hard pressed to find a better 1960 Porsche Super than this one. Happy bidding!

NOTE: Both Original Yellow Plates are in excellant condition. If you see any white spots on the paint (one being on the edge of the rear deck lid) they are reflections. Please look at other angles of the same location. There is absolutly No SCRATCHES, CHIPS or SCUFF MARKS on this car. Paint was completed last month.

I am selling a used car so car is sold as is where is with no warranties implied or given. Pickup is the buyer’s responsibility. I will assist in any way possible. Car can be delivered locally to a transit company for International shipping.

I recommend for you to come and see the car, you won’t be disappointed. It’s much nicer looking in person. Pictures do it no justice.
