Black-Plate 1963 Porsche 356B 1600S Coupe

This 1963 Porsche 356B 1600S coupe is powered by its numbers-matching 1582cc flat-four, which is paired to the original 4-speed manual gearbox. An included binder of records dates back to 1988 and includes receipts for paintwork, a gas tank refresh, carpet, upholstery, and various maintenance. The wheels wear crested chrome hubcaps and are wrapped in Delta rubber. Front and rear bumpers retain their chrome overriders, while badging and trim appear complete. In 1989, CB&E Porsche Interiors replaced the factory brown leatherette with black leather and added matching door panels, a new headliner, and carpeting. The front bucket seats have aged since their late 1980s installation, while the rear seats display fewer signs of use. Under the rear hatch, the 1582cc Type 616/7 flat-four is mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. It was recently serviced. Stamping *0701073* can be seen above and confirms the engine as original. The stamping confirming transmission #64764 is viewable in the gallery. The included Porsche Certificate of Authenticity shows the engine and transmission numbers, as well as the original color combination. Filed under: 356
