Porsche 356 C

Le véhicule en détail

The service records on file outline California ownership history from 2011 to the present, spanning three owners, with over $34,000 in documented receipts. The prior owner, Mr. Veytia, acquired the 356 in 2015 and undertook several mechanical updates, including the installation of new tires, a valve adjustment, brake service, a 6V to 12V booster conversion, rebuilding the link and kingpins, and installing a new muffler. In 2016, the transmission was rebuilt by Scott’s Porsche Parts in San Diego with new sychros, gears, and gaskets; $3,000 was spent. A period-correct 356C engine was built to SC specifications and installed in 2018 by Original Six Porsche in Eagle, Idaho, along with a new clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel. In 2019, Koni shocks were installed, and the carburetors were re-jetted for improved drivability. Recent enhancements include a 6V electric fuel pump with a pull switch and a new fuel petcock. This 356C is powered by a period-correct 1600cc flat-four engine (Type 616/15) producing 95 hp, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission (Type 741). The 1964-1965 was the first 356 model to feature standard four-wheel disc brakes; the C series remains especially usable and enjoyable on modern roads. Complete with a partial tool kit, Porsche Kardex, Certificate of Authenticity, service records, and spare wheel. This is a well-sorted 356 ideal for an enthusiast seeking a reliable driver.
