The 1.6-liter four-cylinder boxer engine, with a displacement of 1,571 cm³, delivers a powerful 95 PS at 5,800 rpm and, combined with the car’s light weight of just 935 kilograms, delivers performance figures that remain impressive to this day. A top speed of around 185 kph and standard disc brakes on all four wheels impressively underscore the sporty character of this classic. The body, manufactured by Karmann in Osnabrück, combines classic lines with functional elegance. This particular example was delivered as an export model and initially shipped to the U.S.—a path taken by many of the most sought-after 356s. Its fully documented history traces several owners in California before the vehicle returned to Germany on October 17, 1989. Particularly noteworthy is the virtually unique ownership history of the past few decades: For over 40 years, this vehicle has been in the hands of a knowledgeable and passionate owner.
A comprehensive restoration took place between 1996 and 2000—with the goal of balancing authenticity and technical precision. Since then, the car has not only been cherished and well-maintained but also driven regularly—on road trips, classic car rallies, and at events. In doing so, it has impressed not only with its reliability but also with numerous successes and awards that impressively confirm its quality. The equipment corresponds to the high-end export configuration of that era, including hubcaps with a coat of arms, perforated disc wheels, and a green-tinted windshield, all of which stylishly round out the character of this vehicle. This Porsche 356 SC Coupé is not a soulless, restored showpiece; it is an authentic, drivable classic with history, substance, and character. A vehicle for connoisseurs, collectors, and enthusiasts who appreciate the value of an authentic automobile. An opportunity rarely offered even within the exclusive circle of 356 enthusiasts. We are happy to provide further information, documentation, and arrange a personal viewing.
