1962 Porsche 356B T6 Notchback Karmann Coupe

VIN 202054

Completed December 5, 1961

Excellent driver in good mechanic condition, matching NORMAL1600cc engine (60 horse power) with smooth shifting 741 manual 4-speed transmission, four wheel drum brake system. Finished in Red with a Black interior. Original floor pans & battery box. However the battery box does need to be replaced and the passenger front floor is weak. Fun to drive and hard 356 to find!

History

A unique "Karmann hardtop" or "Notchback" 356 B model was produced in 1961 and 1962. The 1961 production run (T5) was essentially a cabriolet body with the optional steel cabriolet hardtop welded in place. The 1962 line (T6 production) was a very different design in that the new T6 Notchback Coupé body did not start life as a cabriolet, but with its own production design—In essence, part cabriolet rear end design, part T6 coupé windshield frame, unique hard top. Both years of these unique cars have taken the name "Karmann Notchback"
