The ultimate iteration of the lightweight, rear-engined, rear-wheel drive Porsche 356, the 356 C appeared in 1964, coinciding with Porsche's purchase of the Reutter coach-building firm, which would handle all Coupe and Cabriolet construction in the Stuttgart for the remainder of 356 productions. New equipment on the 356 C included four-wheel disc brakes, a ZF steering gear, and a 12-volt electrical system. The most significant improvement over its predecessor was the availability of a 1600 cc 'SC' engine with a higher compression ratio and counterweighted crankshaft, allowing it to produce 95 horsepower - the most powerful pushrod engine ever produced by Porsche at the time. Available in a range of open-top body styles throughout the 15-year production of the 356, the sporting Cabriolet was always the most expensive when new with its body-color windshield frame and heavily-padded top.
A left-hand drive example dating from the penultimate year of production, the 1964 356 SC Cabriolet was completed at Porsche's Zuffenhausen factory on 28 November 1963, in Rubinrot (Ruby Red -6402) paintwork with a (Schwarz) Black leather interior. According to its Porsche-issued Certificate of Authenticity, the range-topping SC Cabriolet was additionally optioned with dual 'Talbot' mirrors, fog lights, and Dunlop Tires.
The magnificent 1964 Porsche 356 SC 1600 Cabriolet featured here is finished in stunning Ruby Red over a Black leather interior. This exquisite 356 SC was subject to a no expense spared show quality restoration and is now ready to be shown or driven. a recent complete service was performed less than 100 miles ago, and this spectacular 356 SC is ready for its next caretaker. We are proud to offer this extremely rare and sought-after 356 SC to the most demanding collector investor or enthusiast who desires to own one of the very best.
