1965 Porsche 356SC Coupe, Drives Great, Solid, Videos!

Up for sale is my Porsche SC Coupe. vin 219059. Very solid car. new floors. longitudinals. closing panels and jack spurs along with battery box repair. Floors and metal work are well done. New bumper guards and windshield and back glass rubber and headlight stone guards and deco molding for body and below doors were also added. The car is painted Dolphin grey which is an original Porsche color and has new Aztec red leather interior along with German squareweave charcoal carpets. The driver side  hinge cover indicates that the car originally came painted color code #6405 which is Champagne Yellow.  New door rubber seals and mats and door sill plates with clean headliner complete the interior. No evidence of prior accident damage or collision. The hood is not kinked and the hood pull and engine lid pull and the gas filler door pull all work smoothly.   The paint is driver quality with some minor imperfections (please see link for over 150 photos). overall presentable. There are some slight bubbles on the bottom of the doors. Door bottoms are solid as can be seen by the pictures on the link. Doors and hood and engine lid all close well. The doors have a nice "thud" when they are closed.  The car is titled as a 1965 but actual production year fell in 1964. It was produced toward the end of the 1964 production run and hence by the time it reached the U. S.  it became titled as a 1965.

Engine is an "SC" with big bore kit and Dellorto carbs. sport exhaust and new gaskets and seals. A 12 volt conversion was done and the car now has a 12 volt generator. All lights and turn signals and brake lights work. Battery charges as is evident by amp gauge in car. starts every time.   As soon as the key turns the ignition the engine roars to life with no delay. Engine holds an idle and will idle smoothly. Excellent oil pressure the whole time the engine is running holding 35-40 lbs at idle and 50-65 lbs running down the road. Four wheel disc brakes stop the car on a dime and pull "straight". stopping the car evenly and quickly. if necessary.   At highway speeds the car track straights and does not pull to either side. Clutch is strong and synchros in all four forward gears shift smoothly as does reverse. The speedometer and odometer work as does the tachometer; the combination gauge is not hooked up since there is another gauge for oil pressure and the gas gauge is currently not working. Horn and windshield wipers work. Tires are near new and have plenty of tread. Sometime in the car's past the engine was changed. A complete engine rebuild was done in 2008 where the engine was removed and re-sealed and newly machined cylinder heads were installed. It was also converted to 12 volt at this time (receipt in hand). 15" Fuch alloy wheels and new Koni shocks upgrade the suspension.
