The Porsche 356 356B was built from 1959 to 1963.
The Coupe, the most traded version: The 356 Coupe represents Porsche's evolution from scrappy startup to serious sports car manufacturer. These late-production cars benefit from years of refinement, featuring improved synchromesh transmissions, better brakes, and the sweet-revving 1600cc flat-four producing 60-75 horsepower depending on tune. The iconic teardrop silhouette, penned by Erwin Komenda, remains timelessly elegant while offering genuine usability that earlier 356s sometimes lacked. T5 and T6 variants are particularly sought after, with the final 1963 models representing the pinnacle of 356 development before the 911's arrival. Production totaled roughly 21,000 coupes during this period, making them more accessible than Speedsters but still genuinely collectible. Values have climbed steadily as enthusiasts recognize these as the last of the pure, lightweight Porsches before luxury crept in. A proper driver's car that rewards those who understand the art of momentum over brute force.
