El vehículo en detalle

According to the current owner (an award-winning architect), this 356C was subjected to a full cosmetic and mechanical restoration in the early 2000s. Following the restoration, the 356C went into storage in an estate in the San Fernando Valley. Nearly 18 years later, it eventually made its way over to Bob Campbell, who owned a well-known 356 dealership/workshop in Santa Clarita, California. Bob sold this 356C to the current owner and was commissioned to rebuild the engine with a big bore piston and cylinders kit at that time.

Mechanically powered by a 1600cc flat-four period-correct engine paired to a 4-speed manual 741 transmission and four-wheel disc brakes. This 356 Cabriolet runs phenomenally with plenty of power, a smooth-shifting transmission, and brakes that stop the 356 perfectly. A fine example of the end-of-the-run Porsche 356. This Cabriolet would make an excellent addition to any collection.

History
The Porsche 356C was the final Porsche model to debut before the completely new 911. It therefore mainly featured mechanical rather than aesthetic improvements. The 1964 and 1965 cars culminated with the pushrod-operated SC engine and the complex quad-cam Carrera 2 unit. This model also served as development for Porsche into the widespread use of all-around disc brakes and much work was undertaken to improve the tail-heavy bias of earlier cars with the addition of larger anti-roll bars and a steering damper.

The 356C represents the final and most developed version of the model that made Porsche’s reputation on roads and racetracks throughout the 1950s. It was a far cry from the handful of basic sports cars made in a small village in postwar Austria. Porsche had grown exponentially and gained an enviable reputation all over the world for building high-quality, fun, and quick sports cars. It was almost all thanks to the 356, and the 356C was a worthy send-off.
