Very rare two owner (second owner less than 800 miles) 1963 Porsche 356B. This car was purchased by legendary Alto-Saxophone player Bud Shank direct from the factory in August 1963. With body number 125232 this car is believed to be the last Reutters body 356B coupe made see Porsche Spec's information HERE.

     From 1963-1984 the car was used in Los Angeles as a daily driver until 1986 when it was driven to Port Townsend, WA. From 1988 to 1991 the owner embarked upon a body restoration. All hardware and rubber were removed from the body by Bob Sedlak with assistance from Mr. Shank. The car was sanded to bare metal and painted it's original Heron Grey. All metal parts were re-plated or replaced. New wheels tires and hubcaps along with restoring the passenger door were also done at this time. 

From December 7th 1988 to April 25th 1989 the engine was sent to "The Maestro" Harry Pellow in Cupertino, CA for a complete overhaul and restoration including Weber carburetors, 1720 pistons from 1600, 050 distributor etc. Plus a bunch of polished and chrome parts on the engine. SEE THE MAESTRO'S LITTLE SPEC BOOK HERE.

In October 1981 the car was taken to Paul's Upholstery in Seattle, WA for new carpets, headliner, new vinyl dash top, rear seat compartment, seats re-upholstered in black vinyl and grey fabric. Everything except the original door panels. In 2007 a new aluminum oil cooler was installed plus an additional oil cooler on sump. Also 4 new 356B hubcaps with Porsche medallions were added.

The car was professionally transported to Tucson, AZ in an enclosed transporter. We have virtually all of the receipts on the car since it's inception, as well as factory certificate of authenticity. This car is impeccably clean to does not have any rust or rot including the original battery box and pan. Also has the original tool kit in mint condition.

This car is a multiple award winner in three states, including several "top only" firsts and seconds also a second place full concours in the May 2007 "Cinco De Mayo" show. This vehicle was featured in the September/October 2006 356 Registry with a featured article (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ARTICLE).
