Het voertuig in detail

Benefiting from meticulous care, this 356C has received significant attention over recent years. Farland Classic Restoration performed a full exterior and undercarriage detail in 2021, followed by ceramic and hydrophobic coating. The same year, a full 3M clear film wrap was applied at a cost of $6,645. Later mechanical servicing by Rowe Performance in Colorado included a leak-down test (4% to 5% across all cylinders), Solex 40 PII-4 carburetors were installed, the rear flywheel seal was replaced, an electric fuel pump and a new engine sound pad were installed. Most recently, in May 2024, European Collectibles carried out further work, including new S-pipes, a brake master cylinder, the sunroof was serviced with new cables and seals installed, and the transmission was completely rebuilt with new bearings, gaskets, and seals.

Retaining its numbers-matching 1600cc flat-four engine (Type 616/15) with 1720cc pistons and cylinders, a 4-speed manual transmission (Type 741), and four-wheel disc brakes. This 356C Sunroof Coupe is accompanied by a Porsche Kardex, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, owner’s manual, spare wheel, tool kit, jack, and service documentation. This is a stunning 356, and it is mechanically well-sorted. An excellent opportunity to acquire a superbly maintained 356C that is the final and most refined iteration of Porsche’s legendary 356.
