Case Study: Porsche 356B Super 1600 Restoration by Darby Porsche
At Darby Porsche, we take immense pride in our expertise when it comes to restoring timeless classics. One of our standout projects has been the complete restoration of this stunning Porsche 356B Super 1600—a true icon of motoring history. This model is a symbol of Porsche's enduring legacy, blending elegant design with the performance that defined the brand's early years.
When this 356B Super 1600 arrived in our workshop, it was in need of extensive mechanical and cosmetic attention. The restoration involved a full disassembly, careful rebuilding of the engine, drivetrain, and suspension, along with painstaking work to bring every component back to its original condition.
The vehicle’s striking ivory exterior has been meticulously repainted to match its factory specification, ensuring a flawless finish that complements the era it was born in. We paid close attention to every detail, from the authentic chrome trim and badges to the period-correct interior. Now, this Porsche 356B Super 1600 stands as a beautifully restored piece of automotive history, ready to offer its new owner a pristine, vintage driving experience.
This completed project showcases Darby Porsche’s dedication to preserving the craftsmanship of classic Porsche models, blending our technical expertise with an unwavering commitment to authenticity.
