1962 Porsche 356b Coupe 1.6l on 2040-cars

I am selling this 1962 Porsche 356B for a friend.  He is downsizing as he is getting on in years. He is the second owner and has owned this car since 1971. The car has a older repaint and is a California black plate rust free car. The paint is presentable although not perfect. Most all of the rubber is still soft. The pan is free of damage and corrosion. The chrome trim is excellent and shines up well.  All the glass is good, and the headliner is not ripped or torn. The mechanicals are good and the car roads well. The doors, hood and deck lid operate as they should with no sagging or play. The Back seat and seat deck look unused. This car is very nice and can be driven anywhere.  The Owner was a executive and is not a car guy. He has had this vehicle professionally maintained.   The car has been garage kept and driven mostly on weekends.  It has the original - owners manual, jack, spare, jack handle, workshop books, and luggage rack leather strapping. There is a aftermarket bra in good shape, and a few receipts dating back to the mid nineties.  I was told by the Porsche dealer that it is a matching numbers car and the odometer reads a little over 70K which is believed to be correct.  The car starts right up, does not smoke, the oil light goes of and does not come on at idle, It shifts well in all gears and has a lot of power for the 4 cylinder engine size.  The brakes do not pull and the car stops correctly.  The original carpet and interior is in excellent shape other than a wear mark on the drivers seat piping edge and the driver rocker carpet edge. The paint has a few nicks and looks to be touched up in a few areas.  There is a good quart of paint from the paint job which is a factory correct color  (the can is pre 1974 with no bar code).  The spare looks to be original with the leather hold-down strap in good shape.  The drivers headlight has a chip in the glass. The ash tray and glove box show no use. the radio is original to the car. The interior lights do not work. The patina on this car is great for its age and a well preserved older restoration example as this rarely comes up for grabs.  I have watched the sales on this car type and many have sold for more than the starting price that were not even close in condition.  The car is being sold with no reserve.  This is a good dependable car to drive or restore to show. The registration is current thru August 2014 and the title is free and clear. If you have any questions please call Jim -  seven one for 875 three for 28. The car is located in Orange county California.  Buyer pays for shipping. Payment must be received within 48 hours of auction end. Cashiers checks must clear prior to transfer.  Thanks for bidding.
