Porsche's most desirable convertible Single family ownership from 1*number in the description* Porsche Certificate of Authenticity Service Documents  Includes original owner's manual, tools, jack, spare, tonneau, and car cover Completely reconditioned / mechanically restored  Launched for the 1960 model year based on the redesigned T5 platform, the 356B Roadster was built to be the successor to the one-year-only Convertible D model with revised coachwork fashioned by Drauz in Heilbronn. From its modest origin, Porsche's 356 evolved into the car that instituted both Porsche and the 356 as industry icons. A class victory at Le Mans in 1951 showed its capabilities, but it was legendary New York dealer Max Hoffman who influenced the factory and made it desirable among wealthy American buyers. The 356B Roadster model was revised to be more suitable for the American market. It had gained 15â³diameter wheels, re-contoured and raised front and rear bumpers, and an engine now standardized at 1,600cc. It was produced for three years with only 561 Roadsters made in 1960.  This 356B was purchased new in 1960 by its original owner from his local Porsche dealership in Fresno, Ca, with optional equipment; reclining seats and Phoenix tires. After three decades of ownership, he decided to undergo a restoration in 1990. By 1995, The original owner had passed, and the vehicle was left to his sister. The vehicle stayed in Fresno until December 1997, at which time she had the car shipped to her home in Rockville, MD. From there, the vehicle was seldom driven but still serviced over the years as needed. By January 2017, the vehicle was purchased by an Oregon based collector. He would enjoy the 356B for the next three years until selling it to its most recent owner, a Santa Cruz resident, in 2020.  After several months of driving and assessing the 356B, he decided it was time to further restore the vehicle and rebuild the original numbers matching engine with upgrades including increased displacement to 1,720cc, Elgin camshaft, 912 crank â heads â rockers, period correct large venturi Zenith super carburetors, rebuilt distributor, etc. Additional upgrades include a new clutch assembly, shocks, wheel cylinder and brake lines, rebuilt transmission and shift assembly, fuel level sender, washer system foot pump and windshield squirters, and 185/70/16 Vredestein Sprint Classic radial tires.  Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale is put through an extensive and diligent process called the "Canepa Difference." This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where all systems are checked, serviced, and mechanically reconditioned as necessary. They also receive an award-winning concours-level detailing, including a thorough cleaning of each and every surface that ensures that every car is a sight to behold. This Ruby Red Roadster has had a complete mechanical refurbishing and complete Canepa show quality detailing.

Porsche's most desirable convertible California Car from 1*number in the description* Numbers Matching Concours winner Recent Canepa Restoration Rare and original Royal blue paint  For good reason the 356B Roadster is considered one of the most desirable open early Porsches. It is better driving and more comfortable than a Speedster, and is rarer and more attractive than a Cabriolet. The Roadster benefited from the updated 356B mechanicals, including better steering and gearbox, while wearing a sexier and more dramatic body than a B Cabriolet. This Royal Blue 1960 Porsche *number in the description* Roadster was purchased new from Dave Rasmussen VW/Porsche, Burlingame, California, by Mr. Larry Stevens as a gift for his daughter, Kay (Stevens) Small, upon her graduation from Stanford University in June, 1960.  Mr. Stevens was a well-known and respected corporate lawyer, prominent capitol lobbyist, and served with distinction as a flight deck officer aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise during World War I. However, he was probably best known as a college football All-American for USC, playing on the 1931 and 1932 national championship teams in the Rose Bowl. He was the last of the "Thundering Herd" when he died in November, 2006.  Kay Small kept this wonderful gift for the next 49 years. Initially she used it as an everyday driver but then eventually allowed her brother to enjoy it for many years. After he returned the vehicle, it sat in her garage for twelve years before she decided to restore it in 2007. The body, chassis, suspension and engine sheet metal were the work of Carol Kleindienst/Guy Walker of Just Carol's Porsche in San Jose, CA. The interior and top were done by Byron Robeck of Finish Line Interiors in Santa Clara, CA. The original engine and transmission were rebuilt by Robert Grigsby of RMG Enterprises in Sunnyvale, CA. Its comprehensive restoration was completed in the spring of 2009. The car immediately won its class at the Hillsborough Concours d' Elegance in May 2009.  In November 2009, Ms. Small sold the car to David Rossiter of Folsom, California. After his acquisition of the car he activelv campaigned it in the Porsche Club of America's Zone 7 Concourse series, with first place finishes in all Zone 7 Concourses in 2010/11/12, and with year end awards for 2011/12 (did not participate in enough event to take year end for 2010, but won all entered.) The Roadster collected numerous other awards including wins at the Chico, Palo Alto, Capitol, Presidio, and Carmel-by-the-Sea Concourses, as well as The Legends of the Autobahn Concours in Monterey where the car was the featured Porsche in the 2011 show program.  Acquired by Canepa in 2014, the Roadster has been taken to a whole new level of concours preparation. The car was disassembled and the exterior was refinished in its original factory Royal Blue. Every system was evaluated, and serviced or restored as necessary. Over 500 hours were put into making this Roadster one of the finest in existence. We have taken this car from a regional concours winning level to where it can perform at the highest level of competition, and win.   This is a matching numbers car with all original panels, every part with matching date stamp. It has been owned and operated in California since new, accident free, and is complete with original owner's manuals and cover, tool kit (with original packing list), jack, door tag, spare tire, and the very rare door pocket key â a Roadster only item. As per the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, its date of manufacture was 3/31/60, VIN 87779, Engine #602440, Transmission #36491, and in its very rare (believed to be 13 only) Special Order Royal Blue (6012) exterior paint with Light Grey Leatherette interior. Optional equipment included reclining seats and Continental tires. Dealer installed options purchased at the time of sale included: seat belts, Reuter luggage rack, Les Leston steering wheel and half tonneau cover.
