The 1961 Porsche 356 T-6 Sunroof Coupe is a rare model in the Porsche 356 history. Being produced as a result of the factory producing too many cabriolets, the coupe forged its own identity for 3 years from 1960-1962. They were effectively a 356 cabriolet with a hardtop welded to the body. However as the years have gone by, many restorers have chopped the roofs off and made them into cabriolets and doubled their money. The original coupe is a rare beast due to these slayings!? This particular 1961 Porsche 356 T-6 Sunroof Coupe has just been recently, gorgeously painted the original red, and is truly one to behold. The car looks beautiful, is a non-smoker vehicle, is unusually strong engine-wise and mechanically sound ($6000--just spent over the past few months with a very reputable Porsche mechanic in Denver, receipts available), and the car corners and sounds as if it just came off the hand-made assembly line. The transmission shifts smoothly, the ample drums provide for reliable braking, and the car is very well balanced and handles beautifully. The car has a lovely black leather interior in very good condition with a slight tear (about 1" long) on the very bottom of the back seat rear upright leather panel (not on the seat itself, but on the panel behind the seat). It is a real beauty to drive and enjoy. It has been the same owner for the past 33 years and I am selling because I have another 356 and I can't keep both of them up. This is a truly wonderful example of Ferdinand Porsches' timeless classic. I live just outside of Denver, Colorado.?
