In 1964, Porsche introduced the last revision of the 356, the Porsche 356C, with the most powerful pushrod engine Porsche had ever produced. It was produced until 1965 and one example, the 1965 Porsche 356SC cabriolet is for sale.
The Porsche 356SC is powered by a 1.6-liter flat-four with twin Solex carburetors and 95 hp (71 kW). The engine is paired with a four-speed manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels. It sits on chrome-finished 15″ ventilated steel wheels wrapped in 165/85 Nexen SB-802 tires.
This example was purchased new and is finished in Light Ivory. It is equipped with a black convertible soft top, tan boot cover, left rearview mirror, rocker-panel moldings, gold Porsche SC badging, body-color bumpers with chrome overriders and extended exhaust outlets, and four-wheel disc brakes. The car is said to have been repainted in the 1990s.
Inside, the low-back bucket seats are upholstered in tan leather that covers the door panels and rear jump seats. There are also beige squareweave carpets covered with black and tan coco-style mats, lap belts and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio. In front of the driver is a wood-rimmed steering wheel and a five-digit odometer showing 28,547 miles (total mileage is unknown).
The car comes with previous registration documents, partial service records, tools, an owner’s manual, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a clean Montana title in the name of the seller’s LLC.
The auction ends on January 23 and the highest bid at the time of writing was USD $57,000.
