Porsche 356 SC

The vehicle in detail

In 2017, the engine received a professional top-end rebuild by marque specialist Valentin Motors in Barcelona, Spain. Recently, European Collectibles installed German charcoal square weave carpets and a soft top with a new pad and headliner. Mechanically, a comprehensive mechanical service was done along with a safety inspection that included replacing brake hoses, rear brake pads, fuel lines, gear oil, heater repairs, and a full tune-up on the engine.

Cosmetically, this 356 has some patina in the paint work, with original trim and brightwork. The interior also has some patina and features a VDM steering wheel, VDO instruments, headrests, and a radio delete plate. The wheels are 4½ x 15 chrome slotted wheels mounted to Continental ContiPro Contact 185 65 R15. The undercarriage is solid and rust-free and has been detailed.

Mechanically powered by a period-correct 1600cc flat-four SC engine producing 95 hp paired to a 4-speed manual transmission with a four-wheel disc braking system. Complete with a Porsche Kardex, a partial tool kit, boot cover, and spare wheel. This 1963 Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet is well-preserved and maintained. It is the final top-of-the-line model with the most horsepower, smooth shifting transmission, and disc brakes. It is the most drivable of the legendary 356 models.
