A 1963 Porsche 356 B Super 90 Coupé, originally supplied to the American market via the Brumos dealership in Jacksonville, Florida, and acquired by a naval aviator stationed at Cecil Field. The car's earlier American history remains untraced. In 2020 it was purchased by Norwegian restorer AH Classic Cars, which carried out a comprehensive, period-correct refurbishment returning the car to its factory Black over Black specification, with a fully rebuilt engine, gearbox, and running gear. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and factory Kardex sheet accompany the car.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
