Highlights
- matching numbers
- Matching colors
- Well documented ownership history
The Porsche 356 was produced from 1948. The Porsche 356 A was built until 1959, when it was replaced by the 356 B. In 1963, Porsche's perennial favorite experienced its final stage of expansion as the Porsche 356 C.
The 356 C, which went into production in mid-1963, had a new ZF steering gear and a balancing spring at the rear with a quieter swing axle suspension. Four-wheel disc brakes were also part of the revision, and a 12-volt electrical system became available.
Two 1600cc engines were offered, the C version with 75 hp and the SC with higher compression and counterbalanced crankshaft with 95 hp.
Porsche's popularity skyrocketed, and with more than 10,000 vehicles in 1964, it surpassed the company's total in its first decade. Aside from the rare and expensive Carrera, the 1600 C and SC Cabriolets were the most exclusive road cars of the time, offering comfort, performance and a smooth drive.
