Default What is a Super 60?

I'm currently looking at a 356 B and it says "Porsche 60" on the decklid. I tryed doing some research on it but nothing came up except info on Super 90's. Thanks for the help.

Normal B engine - 1600 cc, 60 hp. See if you can get the engine number (P* something) and look it up at www.356a.com

looks like it might be missing the 1 and a 0 at the end "1600"

Isn't that a '62 B model? That year the rear badges said "60" for normal. Doesn't it have the "C" body with larger front lid and twin grille rear lid, but still drum brakes? Then it is a Normal engine. The Super had "S" and the Super 90 had "90". Es verdad??

It's a 60HP 1600cc motor "Normal" 356 or "Damen" model unofficially in Germany (Damen = ladies)

If the car is sweet you'll have fun driving it - the 356 doesn't need power to be fun.

(P.S. My 356 1962 is a 60HP)

Well, we've heard of Super 90, but Super 60? I agree that a "1" and a "0" are missing from 1600, unless someone left off the word super and glued the "9" on upside down??
