In period, there was the presence of the mass-produced vehicle, just as today. A hand-built car of limited production could still hold its own and compete in world markets…surely a sign of greatness. With a basic design that was 15-years old in 1964, the first concept of the Porsche automobile was continuously refined to reach the 1964 state of maturity. Just as now, the original pure, functional lines remained virtually unchanged…still simple, clean, timeless and ageless.

Produced from 1948 to 1965, the Porsche 356 was an exceedingly capable lightweight rear-engined offering that continues to inspire enthusiasts to this day. Disc brakes finally arrived with the 356C in 1964 along with the most powerful pushrod engine yet, the 95-hp SC. Driving a Porsche is high adventure. Seated in the exact center of gravity and positioned in well-fitted bucket seats, the excitement of true Gran Turismo driving is at your fingertips. Controls are all within easy reach. Comfortable and safe, in fast curves, on the straights, on rough roads or smooth, a day’s time of Porsche driving will leave you longing for more.

This 1964 356C 1600 is a fine example of Porsche quality and history. It is restored with a 2014 completion date, and it is finished in Light Ivory with black leather. The Porsche 356C runs with a 1,582-cc, 75-hp horizontally-opposed four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission. Very popular in today’s marketplace, this 356C offers a great lineage and investment potential.
