Up for sale is my 1960 Porsche 356 B Super Coupe  #113896, a great running car, solid throughout, well maintained over the years. The factory color on the driverside door hinge cover is 738 or "Elfenbein" (Ivory). The paint has great depth and reflection and is very sharp on the car for being an older restoration. The previous owner said that the car was painted in the early 1990s.  There are a few minor knicks/scratches from over the years, but the the overall integrity of the paint is very fine reflecting how well it has been cared for during the years.  This Porsche presents very well and is very attractive. It shows well and brings you over to look at the car. The front of the car has hard to find Marchal foglights as well as stone screens over the headlights. The chrome on these is perfect!. The lights are in working order. Again, all lights work, horn, tachometer, speedometer, gas tank gauge, temperature gauge, windshield wipers and radio are all working. The odometer is currently not working. Emergency brake holds well, engine compartment opens easily with a pull of the knob by the rear seat and the front bonnet opens easily with a pull on the knob under the dash.  The chrome on the car is in excellent condition: bumper guards are excellent as are the mirrors and luggage rack on the engine lid. Hubcaps and wheels are striking, again the chrome is excellent. The chrome window frames for the front windows and quarter windows on both sides are very clean and their chrome is brilliant as well. The BF Goodrich tires are near new and the car "tracks" very well as it goes down the road at 55 miles per hour. It does not pull to one side or the other. The clutch is fine and all synchros are fine. The car shifts smoothly in all forward gears as well as reverse. There is no clutch chatter or anything of the sort. The car maintains its original 6 volt system and  and carries  a 6 volt Optima battery for ease of starting. Once the key is in the ignition and after pressing the accelerator once, the engine roars to life and runs without any hesitation. The carburetors were changed over to Webers and the car idles evenly at 750 rpm and will hold this idle indefinitely without touching the accelerator.  I have taken pictures of the engine and it appears to have been rebuilt fairly recently. Pushrod tubes look shiny and the engine case is very clean all over. The engine has an unstamped third piece.  The original heat control boxes were maintained on the car and all of the cables are hooked up for the heat on the car. The original drum brakes stop the car evenly and well with no pulsation or pulling to either side. Brake drums have been media blasted and are very clean. There is one bubble on the driver side door and some "waviness" on the bottom of the driver side door close to the front of the door. This isn't bubbles but waviness as you run your hand over it. The bottom of the doors are very solid and there is no scaly rust nor rust holes on the bottom of the doors. There is one small spot on the rear of the car about the size of a pencil eraser. I have shown pictures of this so that you can get an exact idea.  Fitment of the door and hood and engine lid are excellent and all close well and maintain their gaps. The floors are excellent throughout as can be seen by the photos. Jackspurs look good. It appears that there was a minor repair on the passenger side longitudinal at some point but it is overall very solid. The interior is very nice, seats are in excellent condition, the chrome hinges/recliners on the seats are excellent, back seats show well, German weave carpets are clean and show well, headliner appears original and has faded slightly but is in very good condition. We have ordered the COA from Porsche and will forward this to the new owner. As we note, the car came to us with the "Super" emblem and we believe the car to be a Super.
