1965 Porsche 356SC is for sale

Since it was first presented in the late 40’s until today, the Porsche 356 has been the desire of many, and it is considered one of the most desirable collector’s cars. It was produced until 1965 in three series: A, B and C. The C series was the last to hit the market, and one example from this series, the 1965 Porsche 356SC is up for auction.

Porsche 356SC is a model with the most powerful pushrod engine Porsche had ever produced. It is powered by a 616/16 flat-four engine with dual Weber carburetors and was overhauled in 1996 with Nippon Racing big-bore pistons to raise the displacement to 1720 cc. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle.

The car is finished in Ruby Red (repainted) and is in good condition. It is equipped with body-color bumpers with chrome guards, a driver’s sideview mirror, fog lights, European-style taillights, exhaust outlets integrated into the rear overriders, twin engine-cover grilles, a chrome Lietz luggage rack, Koni Classic shocks, and stopping power is handled by four-wheel disc brakes. It sits on 15×5.5″ chrome-finished steel wheels wrapped in 185/70 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires.

Inside, the interior was renewed last year when it was covered in black leather and a body-color metal dashboard was installed. Additional equipment includes fold-down rear seats, a locking glove box, and lap belts. In front of the driver is a wood-rimmed VDM three-spoke steering wheel behind which is a five-digit odometer with 20,463 miles (total mileage unknown).

The car has a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity which lists the car’s original colors, powertrain numbers, and a production completion date of October 27, 1964. It comes with service records, manufacturer’s literature, a jack, and a clean California title.

The auction ends on June 7th and the current highest bid is $86,000 USD.
