Porsche 356 SC

The vehicle in detail

From 2023 to 2024, this 356SC Cabriolet was completely restored by European Collectibles. The restoration was performed to a high standard throughout, with every major aspect of the 356 addressed, including bodywork, paint, upholstery, drivetrain, suspension, braking system, electrical components, trim, and final assembly. The 356 was completely disassembled; the body was stripped to steel, prepped, painted, color-sanded, glazed, and finished in Black to show condition.

The interior has been upholstered in red leather with red carpets, creating a striking contrast against the black exterior. Interior details include roll-up windows, vent windows, headrests, Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, padding, headliner, and a properly finished black convertible top. The exterior is complemented by a chrome luggage rack, brightwork, chrome rims and hubcaps, and carefully fitted rubber components, all of which contribute to the presentation.

Mechanically, powered by the matching 1.6-liter SC air-cooled flat-four engine (Type 616/16) producing 95 horsepower and paired with its rebuilt factory replacement 4-speed manual transmission (Type 741) and four-wheel disc braking system. The engine and transmission have been completely rebuilt. The braking system, suspension, and fuel system were restored, ensuring the 356SC performs with the confidence expected of a freshly completed restoration. With just 675 miles recorded since completion, this 356SC is in exceptional condition. The 356SC Cabriolet delivers the refined, engaging character that defines the final year of the 356. Complete with owner’s manual and pouch, tool kit, jack, and Porsche Kardex, this Black over Red 356SC Cabriolet represents a rare opportunity to acquire a freshly restored, final-year Cabriolet restored by European Collectibles to concours standard.
