The vehicle in detail

According to the owner, this 356 has remained a California car since new. It was acquired in 1995 and the following year a decision was made to do a complete restoration. From 1996 to 1997 the vehicle was repainted in Silver Metallic. The body was reassembled with replated OEM chrome, rubber seals, and moldings. Following the assembly, the 356 was fitted with new suspension components, a new interior, and the driveline was completely overhauled. After the restoration, the vehicle was sparingly driven and was stored in Northern California until 2015. The 356 was then moved to Southern California where it was used for local driving events, car shows, and occasional cars and coffee on the weekends.

Mechanically, it is powered by the matching 1600cc flat-four engine with larger Solex carburation and intakes producing over 80 horsepower paired with a 4-speed manual 741 transmission and four-wheel disc brakes. It is an incredible 356 to drive! Complete with tool kit, date-coded spare tire (2/64), owner’s manual, and Certificate of Authenticity. The 356C holds a special place in Porsche history, not only as a sales success but as an icon of one of the BEST 356s to drive.
