A remarkable chapter in the legacy of Porsche's racing heritage is highlighted by the transformation of a 1960 Porsche 356B Super 90 coupe into a distinguished race car by Emory Motorsports in the early 2000s. This iconic vehicle, initially delivered on November 18, 1960, has since graced various vintage racing events, showcasing its prowess and enduring spirit. The current owner, who first acquired the car in 2006 and then reacquired it in 2022, has passionately overseen the installation of a powerful 2,650cc flat-four engine and a comprehensive refurbishment completed in 2024, ensuring the 356B's legacy continues to thrive on and off the track.
During its extensive refresh by Rusty Gold Restoration of Phoenix, Arizona, the coupe received a striking blue finish, deviating from its original Heron Grey to embody its new outlaw persona fully. The removal of the bumpers, addition of a twin-grille decklid, and incorporation of modern LED teardrop taillights are just a few modifications that contribute to its unique appearance. This transformation not only respects the car's storied past but also heralds its future as a competitive racer and collector's treasure.
The 356B's interior, reinvigorated in 2022, features Fibersteel Speedster-style bucket seats adorned in black vinyl with blue plaid inserts, secured on powder-coated GT frames with Simpson lap belts, blending comfort with racing necessity. The roll bar, a fabricated shifter housing by Emory, and the recent addition of a keyed ignition system highlight the meticulous attention to both safety and authenticity in its restoration.
Underneath the hood, a FAT Performance 2,650cc flat-four engine breathes new life into the 356B, complemented by a 911-spec cooling fan, dual Weber carburetors, and a Vintage Speed stainless-steel exhaust. The engine's robust performance is matched by a rebuilt four-speed manual transaxle, ensuring that this Porsche is as thrilling to drive as it is to behold.
Mounted on 15" Minilite wheels and equipped with Koni Classic shocks and 356C-sourced four-wheel disc brakes, the 356B is primed for precision handling and braking. This vehicle represents a harmonious blend of historical reverence and modern engineering, standing as a testament to the timeless allure of Porsche's racing lineage.
Accompanied by a Porsche Certificate, service records, and an extensive photographic documentation of its racing exploits and restoration journey, this 1960 Porsche 356B Super 90 Outlaw Coupe is now offered for sale in Arizona. It awaits a new custodian eager to continue its storied legacy, whether on the racetrack or as a cherished piece of automotive history.
