In 1964, Porsche introduced the last version of the 356 model, the Porsche 356 C. It was produced for only two years, until 1965, and although it arrived on the market when the now legendary 911, it was still in high demand in the United States. One outstanding example, the 1965 Porsche 356C is up for auction.
The 356 C is powered by a stock 1.7L flat-four engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. It sits on chrome-finished 15″ steel wheels wrapped in 165-series Vredestein Sprint Classic tires.
This example is finished in Irish Green and is in good condition. It is equipped with body-color bumpers with overriders as well as a left side mirror, front vent windows, a twin-grille engine lid, and dual exhaust outlets exiting through the rear overriders, four-wheel discs, and Sachs dampers. The previous owner reinstalled the bright trim, refurbished the headlights and replaced the glass, front turn signals and tail lights.
Inside, the seats are re-trimmed in gray upholstery from Autos International of Escondido, California. There is also a three-spoke gearbox behind which is a five-digit odometer showing 75,836 miles (true mileage is unknown). Additional equipment includes gray square-weave carpets, a locking glove compartment, and black rubber floor mats.
The car comes with service records, manufacturer’s literature, a copy of the Kardex and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity detailing paint, equipment and production data, the factory AM/FM radio and battery tender removed.
This is an outstanding opportunity for collectors to expand their collection with this beautiful car. The auction ends on June 16, 2023.
