Porsche 356 C

Completed on 25 February 1964, this 356 C was delivered new to a James Snowden of Watch Hill, Rhode Island in May of that year via Max Hoffman of New York. Then, as now, it was finished in the very attractive combination of Irish Green over a Fawn leatherette interior.

Though its subsequent ownership is at the present unknown, this car—which retains its numbers-matching engine and gearbox, as confirmed by the accompanying Kardex copy and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity—benefitted from an exhaustive restoration by marque specialist William Briggs of European Motorworks in Lincolnville, Maine. Completed under prior ownership, this comprehensive job is said to have cost over $100,000.

Acquired by Terry Adderley in 2012, this Porsche enjoyed attentive care while in his large and varied collection; as a result, its high-quality restoration presents well today. Now offered with a tool roll, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and Kardex copy, this 1964 356 C 1600 would no doubt be welcome at many exhibition and driving events, offering its next owner the opportunity to acquaint themselves with a model at the very foundation of the ongoing Porsche legend.
