General description :
1962 Porsche 356B T6 1600 Karmann Notchback Coupe This extremely rare and unique 1962 Porsche 356B T-6 Notchback Karmann Coupe with matching numbers is one of only 600 produced. Tan with brown interior and offered with a Certificate of Authenticity. It's not everyday that you come across a car this special. In 1962 the 356B model received changes known collectively as the T6 modifications, involving the addition of twin engine cover grilles, an external gas filler, and larger windows. A unique new model briefly appeared, variously referred to as the Karmann Hardtop or the Notchback Coupe. The 1962 line, which incorporated the T6 features, was a properly dedicated design. The body did not begin life as a cabriolet as before, but was its own design incorporating the cabriolet rear end, the T6 coupe windshield frame and a unique hardtop. This particular example is mechanically strong and runs and drives well. It needs paintwork at this time but the interior is nice and clean. A straight, honest and original car with loads of integrity and charm. With some minor cosmetics, it could be considered a very presentable driver. This limited 2 year production model retains its original 1600 engine and comes with its COA from Porsche. With its unique Karmann coachwork combined with such T6 features as its twin engine lid grills and external fuel filter, this stylish Karmann Notchback Coupe would make for a characterful and elegant addition to any collection.

About Porsche 356
The Porsche 356 is an iconic sports car that was produced from 1948 to 1965. It is considered to be the first production car to bear the Porsche name and is known for its unique design and exceptional performance.The 356 was initially designed by Ferdinand Porsche in the late 1940s as a lightweight and nimble sports car that could be used for racing. The first prototypes were built using Volkswagen components, as Porsche was still closely associated with the German automaker at the time. However, the final design of the 356 was a significant departure from the VW Beetle, and featured a sleek, aerodynamic body that was both beautiful and functional.
Over the years, the 356 evolved through several iterations, each of which added new features and improved performance. The early models were powered by a 1.1-liter flat-four engine that produced around 40 horsepower, while later models featured larger engines with up to 130 horsepower.
Despite its humble beginnings, the Porsche 356 quickly became a favorite among driving enthusiasts, both on the road and the racetrack. Its combination of style, performance, and handling made it a true sports car icon, and it helped to establish Porsche as one of the world's leading automakers. Today, the 356 remains a highly sought-after collector's car, with prices that can range from tens of thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the model and condition.
