Porsche 356 SC

After changing hands in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the 356 eventually came into the possession of its fifth documented owner, who undertook a comprehensive restoration, encompassing both cosmetic and mechanical aspects. This involved a complete disassembly and reassembly, focusing on preserving the originality. The 356SC was repainted in Bali Blue, and the interior was reupholstered in the correct Black upholstery with charcoal German square-weave carpets. New front and rear windshields were installed, and the chrome work was replated. In January 2015, Automotive Techniques of Michigan performed an extensive $16,000 mechanical service, which included a new exhaust system, rebuilding the suspension and heater systems, replacing the rear main seal, replacing the wheel bearings and CV boots, rebuilding the braking system, and installing new spark plugs and ignition wires.

Mechanically, this 356SC is powered by the matching 1600cc flat-four SC engine (Type 616/16), producing 95 horsepower, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission (Type 741) with a four-wheel disc braking system, which delivers a balance of performance, drivability, and reliability. Under the care of the recent owner, additional mechanical and cosmetic work was carried out by Daniel’s Speed Shop and European Collectibles, including a full undercarriage detail, complete engine tune, and a brand-new set of Vredestein Sprint Classic tires (date-coded 2025). This example is offered with an extensive file of documentation, including Porsche Production Specifications, a Porsche Kardex – build sheet, jack, spare wheel, and 35 years of service and restoration records. Well-documented and finished in a striking factory color combination, this 1964 Porsche 356SC Coupe presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable and collectible models in the 356 series.
