Porsche 356 C

Das Fahrzeug im Detail

Beautifully preserved after decades of use and maintenance, this 1964 Porsche 356 C Coupe is finished in its original color of Light Ivory over a rich red leatherette interior.

An Illinois-based car for much of its life, this 356 benefits from the meticulous care of just four owners since new, with the trusted Chicago-based workshop, The Last Detail, looking after the car for a majority of those years. With only 40,256 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloguing, the car’s lightly worn patina and single repaint in its original color tell the story of careful stewardship over six decades.

At the heart of this 356 C lies its matching-numbers 1,582 cc flat-four engine (type 616/15) paired with twin Zenith carburetors and a four-speed manual transaxle. In recent years, this example has been looked after in a prominent Porsche collection. Accompanying the sale is a Porsche driver’s manual, tool roll, and spare parts, including a set of carburetors, air-intake tubes, and other engine accessories.

This 356 C Coupe stands as an enduring symbol of Porsche’s engineering mastery, offering the chance to own a highly original and impeccably preserved piece of Porsche history.
