The vehicle in detail

Now finished in elegant black over a black interior with distinctive houndstooth seat inserts and upgraded with a factory-style electric sliding sunroof, this 1964 Porsche 356 SC Coupe presents as a handsome and highly desirable example of Porsche’s seminal sports car. Part of a prominent collection dedicated to Porsche history, this example was acquired by its current owner in the 1990s and has been lovingly cared for over the ensuing decades. Benefiting from attentive stewardship, recent work has included the installation of new engine compartment insulation, a new flywheel and clutch assembly, a new fuel tank, and new carburetors. Today, this final-series 356 SC stands as a compelling representation of Porsche’s first great sports car, combining the purity of the original 356 concept with the refinements born from years of continuous development.
