1961 Porsche 356 T5B with the Original CA Black Plates 

Up for Auction is a 1961 Porsche 356 T5B Coupe. I've had this car for a while and I am selling it because and for no other reason. is it's not fast enough for me and I'm not driving it. I bought it from my neighbor who had it for close to 40 years and it sat outside the last 4 years before I got it. It took me 2 ½ years to buy it. When I got it I took it to my mechanic and we cleaned out the gas tank. did a tuneup. adjusted the valves and changed the front brakes. This 356 has never been taken apart. still has it's original color. This 356 has a solid floor pan but on the 4 edges of the pan has rust also under the battery. and the lower part of the doors. Look at all the photos below. This Porsche is mechanically sound. the 356 starts right up and every time and no smoking. The trans. shifts great but need the bushing under the gearshift cause it's sloppy and not very tight. The body of this 356 is 97% solid and has never been in an accident. I had a lot of fun with this 356 while I had it but now it's under the covers and I don't drive it much anymore so I am putting it up for sale. This is a very honest 356 and thats the kind to get.  This is a fun car to drive and a great one to restore cause the prices are going up on these 356 Porsche's.
