Attempting a search for the production numbers for the '63 Cab. Found this information in Bruce Smith's thread of "Auctions and Prices" dated: Sun Sep 15, 2013 6:40:
Bruce states there were: Cabriolets (1950-1965), with this as the total production for Cabs: 11,239. BTW; Really enjoy reading his analysis of pricing. Hope he will do another article on the upcoming (major) auctions for 2015.
From Charlie's site and his "Little Known Facts," he has the total production numbers for the B as: Type 356-B: 30,963 and assuming this is for both T-5 and 6.
Is the production number published for the '63 Cab somewhere? Happy to do the work if there is a way for me to get some directions as to where this information might be listed/published.
Thanks.
Dan K.

Re: '63 B Cab Production Numbers
I'll take a shot, Dan, but I have no idea where this set of numbers came from. Doesn't look too far off, regardless.

Thanks ever-so-much, Jim!
Looks very complete.
Wonder if the mods would consider making the link you supplied a sticky?

Re: '63 B Cab Production Numbers
Those numbers are rather questionable. No idea how he got to those. 1955 production for a 1954 MY how would that work? 100 MY1955 speedsters built? Only 99 Karmann Notchbacks built? Not a single T6 roadster.....?

The total numbers on that site match pretty well with what you get from the chassis number ranges given in the "little spec book" Brett Johnson's The 356 Porsche, A Restorer's Guide to Authenticity and the Stoddard catalog.jim nelson wrote:I'll take a shot, Dan, but I have no idea where this set of numbers came from.
