I don't want to get into a discussion on the merits of the Notch beauty-wise...I bought mine because I don't like to own the same car twice and I've owned regular 356's in the past, all different (an A and a B).
The Notch is, to me, unusual and I like that. I can tell you that it gets an inordinate amount of attention, even in LA. Is what it is.
That said, there is a big difference between a 61 and 62 Notch...all you need to know is here:
Porsche Karmann Hard Top Cars :: The Unofficial Notchback Registry
In addition, the value of a Notch that has been cut is dramatically different than a real cab...the 356 Registry has volumes of information on why. The price point only justifies the mod if the owner wants a relatively cheap cab that will remain cheap. If they can find the parts.
The car in question is maybe a 20k car, hard to tell without digging into it. I paid much less for mine 2 1/2 years ago and it was in getter shape.
The below are pictures of a friend of mine taking his Mom, who owned 356 in the fifties and earl;y sixties, for a ride over the holidays, in my car.
