THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

Finished in always-popular Light Ivory (6404) with an interior trimmed in Red Leatherette with a white headliner, this matching-numbers 1964 T-6 "C" coupe was fitted with a Type 616/15 engine of 1582cc, developing 75 horsepower at 5200 rpm. Coupled to a fully-synchronized four-speed manual transmission, the monocoque-shelled C could easily cruise at 90 mph and top 100 mph if pressed, while its two occupants relaxed in comfortable-padded bucket seats with adjustable backrests. The addition of four-wheel disc brakes put stopping on a par with the best that its rivals could offer.

This fully numbers-matching 356C coupe is described as being well-known since the early 1990s in the Raleigh, North Carolina area, where it was maintained for many years by the consignor's shop, European Performance. The car had been repainted black, although the original red interior had been retained. In 2013, after a decade of ownership, the owner commissioned a full rotisserie restoration. Part-way through the project, health issues prompted a sale to the consignor, who completed the full restoration. Completed in 2016, the work included returning the car to its original color of Glasurit Light Ivory. There is a fresh interior of supple red leather and correct square-weave German carpeting supplied by well-known marque specialist Autobahn. All five correctly-dated (6-64) steel wheels are properly painted the factory-original silver. The tail-lamps wear European bi-color lenses. The engine, transaxle, brakes and other systems were properly overhauled, and the car is described as being is as-new condition. Although little else is known of this car's original ownership, its odometer showed a mere 96,598 miles at the time of cataloguing, which may be the correct total. The consignor states that other than sorting-out miles following the restoration, this car has been displayed in his company's showroom.

Supplied with its correct jack, spare wheel and tire, a partial tool kit, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a file of service and restoration invoices, this little 356 is ready for its next owner to drive and enjoy, offering the timeless styling and reliability for which Porsche is known.
