1960 Porsche 356B Cabriolet for sale on BaT Auctions - ending May 16 (Lot #73,493) | Bring a Trailer
$37,250 last bid
I noticed that car a couple of days ago and was surprised at how little attention was being paid to it. Although not my favorite body style (I prefer the lines of Pre-A and A cars) it does look great (and it's a Cabriolet!), so it'll be interesting to see what it goes for.

Cream with a red interior (one of my favorite color combos!)- what a great looking Speedster! I love the tight fit of the front bumper, no overiders/side trim look, and that it's got 205/60's on the back (the only thing that thing really needs is to be LOWER! ). I've been active here going on 10 years now and have to admit I don't remember many (if any) TR/CCW/CCW/RWR Speedsters owned by members here, or even passing through for sale/being talked about. That doesn't mean there aren't/haven't been though. I'll be watching that car to see what it sells for as well.
PS- I just looked- there are 10 or more people with bids on the Cabriolet, so I take back my comment about how little attention it was getting, and think the last hour 2 minutes (which may turn into an hour!) may be very interesting.
Another PS (before my hour to continually modify this post is up)- Just looking at the Speedster again and yeah, the Subie engine is great and all, but wouldn't that baby be badass with a louvered Carrera engine lid and a fire breathing 22 or 2300 cc Type 1 beast revving to 6500 rpm ? I know the Subaru makes probably about the same horsepower, but it just visually isn't nearly as stimulating...
Ok, done I think I am! Yoda out (or back to bed, actually- early here on the Great Wet Coast it still is!)
And a 5 speed (yeah)! Ok, now I'm done! I hope it's got discs all the way around 'cause it's gonna need it...
