1960 356B Coupe Emory Outlaw

Rod Emory has made quite the name for himself in Porsche-circles over the years (more like decades) crafting some amazing pieces of machinery out of his shop, Emory Motorsports in McMinnville, OR. His wildly customized Emory Specials command top-of-the-market prices when it comes to modified 356s with prices touching the $900,000 mark. His Emory Outlaw 356s, which are a bit more stock-looking than the Specials, bring a premium as well, with prices ranging from $300,000 on up.

This 1960 356B Coupe is one such Emory Outlaw, finished in Azure Blue over a Red leather interior and built with all the signature touches Rod Emory has become known for. During the build, the car received a bare-metal repaint along with replacement floors and longitudinals plus added chassis stiffening. Details included deleted hood handles, dual Raydyot mirrors, a through-hood fuel filler, leather hood straps, driving lights, and body-color bumpers, while the interior featured GT-style bucket seats, Roadster-style door panels, and a roll bar. Power came from a 2.4-liter Polo flat-four built around a custom 911-style case with 3.6L-derived pistons and cylinders, twin-plug ignition, Weber carburetors, and custom headers feeding an M&K muffler. A gorgeous car from one of the best.

Over the past twelve months, the modified 356 market has averaged $221,200, with a low of $51,356 and a high of $575,000 with the last Emory Outlaw to sell being a 356A Sunroof Coupe that brought $555,000 at Gooding’s Monterey sale last year. Our Spotlight Car previously sold for $385,000 back in June 2024, but failed to sell this time around at a final bid of $371,356. I’d keep it at that number as well.

Sell your Porsche without the drama.

When it was time to sell my beloved C4S, I had all the options available to me. I could have listed it privately, but I didn’t want to deal with weeks of inquiries from buyers who needed financing, lowballers (I know what I got!), or tire-kickers coming to my house. I could have gone the auction route, and I’m well versed there, of course, but I just didn’t have the time to properly list the car or manage the process. I’ve got writing to do.

In the end, I sold it to a dealer. It was simply easier, and the offer landed right in line with where I would have estimated it had I been writing about it here.

But I really wish I had known SML reader Niket was launching VinBidders.
