The Porsche 356 is one of the most significant models in Porsche's early sports car history. As the direct predecessor of the later 911, it still stands for a particularly purist and unadulterated form of sports car driving. The open-top versions in particular hold a special fascination for many enthusiasts.
This vehicle is a 1965 Porsche 356 C Cabriolet, one of the last models built in this legendary series before production was finally discontinued. The late C models in particular are considered to be particularly sophisticated, combining the classic form of the 356 with the technical developments of the last years of production.
This convertible is the SC variant of the Porsche 356 C. The air-cooled 1.6-liter boxer engine delivers 95 hp, making it one of the most sought-after engines in the late 356 series. The SC version combines the classic lightness and typical driving feel of the 356 with noticeably more powerful engine characteristics.
The vehicle has been in the same family in Germany since 1993. At that time, the car was imported from the USA and initially registered to the father of the current owner. Later, the vehicle was passed on to the son within the family. This 356 has thus spent more than three decades in the hands of one owner – associated with many personal memories and shared trips.
With a current mileage of around 45,000 kilometers, the convertible presents itself as a classic driver's classic car – a vehicle that wants to be driven and experienced. A current valuation report is of course available.
The equipment also underlines the authentic character of this early Porsche. The interior features leather upholstery, a classic wooden steering wheel, and the typical round instruments with tachometer, oil pressure, and oil temperature gauges. This is complemented by a contemporary radio, which rounds off the historic character of the vehicle.
The timeless lines of the 356, its compact silhouette, and the open-top driving experience make every Cabriolet a special car. It is precisely this combination of elegance, lightness, and mechanical honesty that ensures that the 356 remains one of the most sought-after classic Porsches to this day.
Now this convertible is looking for a new owner who will continue the vehicle's history and enjoy driving and preserving one of the last open-top representatives of this legendary series.
If you are seriously interested, we will be happy to send you high-resolution detailed images and the valuation report.
