10 completed sales of the same trim, body and gearbox from BidBetter sales data (Bring a Trailer 7, PCARMARKET 2, Hagerty 1), adjusted to this car's mileage and model year. Published sale prices; buyer's premium is included where the source reports it.
It sold for $70,000, inside the range from earlier sales.
Analysis
Closest recent sales: 1960 Porsche 356B Coupe for $125,000 (Bring a Trailer, 2026-07-28); 1962 Porsche 356B 1600 Coupe for $52,356 (PCARMARKET, 2026-07-24); 62-Years-Family-Owned 1961 Porsche 356B Notchback for $75,500 (Bring a Trailer, 2026-07-05).
Within these sales, each doubling of mileage moved price by about 0%.
1 specialist build was left out (Emory): it is a different car from this one.
8 sales were left out as a different variant (for example a performance or special edition), so they do not inflate the range.
