1964 Porsche 356C Coupe - Blue Plate California Car - Ready to Enjoy!

FOR SALE: RESTORED 1964 T6 356C COUPE WITH 912 MOTOR - EXCELLENT BLUE PLATE CALIFORNIA CAR

Available for sale is this 1964 356 C Coupe. Chassis No 129951. finished in red over tan. with a non-matching 912 motor (number 756073). This is a long term California car and is one of the nicest driving 356's that I have sampled. The car is an older restoration. and appears to have been well-maintained over the years. but does show signs of use and wear. The car runs. shifts. corners and stops extremely well. and drives nicer than any other C coupe I have driven. This is an excellent entry-level 356 that can be enjoyed as-is and would benefit from some further restoration and repairs. I can provide additional photos for serious bidders. I reserve the right to end this auction early before the reserve is met. I have set a very reasonable reserve - the car could not be duplicated for the price!

Body/Exterior

This car is finished in a red. with paint code 6407 (signal red) indicated on the door tag. The paint still shines up nicely. showing some wear and signs of use. Overall gaps are good and consistent with a high quality driver. The decklid is original to the car. Doors close well and with the customary solid latching for which 356's are known. Chrome and bright work trim is straight. shiny and free of rust or major pitting. The glass is good throughout the car. with no apparent chipping. scratches or delamination. The floors have been patched at some point in the past. and the floors and front trunk floor are showing some wear. The car can be enjoyed as is for many years. but new floors and front trunk bottom should be contemplated as part of the next restoration and the offer price reflects this. We can provide this service for a prospective buyer at a reasonable cost. There is a small rust bubble in the passenger door. there are some small dings and chips throughout the car consistent with use over the years. The photos are an accurate reflection of the car: She presents very well in person as she does in the photos.

Interior

The front and rear seats appear to have been re-done at the time the car was previously restored. and are very presentable and consistent with a high quality driver. Tan square weave carpet is installed and still shows well. There is a small aftermarket leather steering wheel installed. along with an aftermarket stereo. Headliner and visors are very good. the rear view mirror is currently missing but a replacement is being sought. All gauges and interior lights work except the clock.

Mechanical

The engine in the car is from a 912 (756073). The engine was recently tuned and serviced and runs extremely well. but the prior history is undocumented. The car retains the original 6V system. and a new 6V battery is installed. The car has disk brakes. which function perfectly. Transmission shifts smoothly through all four gears. with no grinding evident up or down. The car drives straight and true. and pulls strong in all gears throughout the rpm range. This car has no mechanical needs. starts instantly with a flick of the key. runs extremely well and I would not hesitate to drive it across town or across the country tomorrow. Fly in and drive this car home!
