This 1960 Porsche 356B Super 90 cabriolet is finished in Fjord Green over light brown leather and powered by a 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Completed on May 27, 1960, the car was originally delivered through Hoffman Motor Corp. of New York. It is said to have remained with a single owner from 1981 until 2020, when it was acquired by the current owner and subsequently refreshed. This 356B is now offered by Mohr Imports, a BaT Local Partner, as part of their Monterey Car Week Collection with a copy of the Kardex, a car cover, service records, spare parts, and a Nevada title.
The T5 body was introduced for the 1960 model year with revised front-end styling, including raised bumpers and headlights along with a redesigned front trunk lid handle. This Reutter-built example is finished in Fjord Green (6005) and features a tan convertible top, a chrome driver-side mirror, a windshield washer system, vent windows, and body-color bumpers with chrome overriders. The body was refinished and the convertible top was replaced under current ownership. Work in 2022 included installing H4 LED headlights and taillights and repairing the convertible top header wood and latches. The hood and hinges were replaced in January 2023, and a taillight was replaced in September 2025.
The 15? vented steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with 165-series Firestone F-560 tires. The car was factory equipped with drum brakes at each corner. The brakes were adjusted and the fluid was changed in 2022. The steering box was addressed and the steering column upper bearing was replaced in January 2023.
The front buckets and rear jump seats were reupholstered in light brown leather under current ownership. Interior appointments include a Blaupunkt push-button radio, lap belts, and a body-color painted dashboard. LED interior lights were fitted and the wiper system wiring was overhauled in 2022. The rearview mirror was replaced and the left door latch was adjusted in May 2024.
The LL wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel frames green-letter VDO instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,000-rpm redline, and a combination gauge for oil temperature and fuel level. The gauges were modified for 12-volt operation in 2022, and the fuel gauge and warning lights were repaired in May 2024. The five-digit odometer shows 44k miles, approximately 5k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 1.6-liter air-cooled 616/7 flat-four was factory rated at 90 (DIN) horsepower and features dual Solex 40 PII-4 carburetors. A 12-volt electrical conversion was performed in October 2022, which included modifying the generator and starter as well as replacing the battery, cables, distributor, and fuel pump. The valves were adjusted and the valve cover gaskets and oil filter were replaced in January 2022, and the carburetors were cleaned in September 2025. An oil leak is noted.
Engine block stamping 800664 is shown in the gallery and matches the Kardex designation for a Super 90 engine.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. A grind in second gear on downshift was diagnosed in 2022. Transaxle stamping 37336 is shown in the gallery and matches the Kardex.
A copy of the Kardex, a car cover, and spare parts including removable headlight grilles, a Lietz luggage rack, and two red leather headrests (Schlummerrollen) are included in the sale.
