Vehicle Description
This 1965 Porsche 365C is shown on the Kardex Build Sheet from the
factory to be a Light Ivory color with black Naugahyde interior,
and now wears Koenig Blue paint over a blue leather interior. It
has spent 17 years undergoing restoration, during which time it was
taken down to bare metal and, while the car showed no collision
damage, some panel sectioning was made due to corrosion in the
original pieces. The sectioned panels were butt-welded,
metal-worked, filed and prepped. Some lead work was done around the
doors, but no plastic fillers were used. The original coupe roof
was cut for the electric sunroof installation. The air conditioner
is a Japanese unit that is mounted directly off the rear of the
engine. The evaporator nested under the steering gear, and the
condenser in the front trunk area are a custom design by a company
in Dallas, TX. Fog lights were added along with headrests, a wood
steering wheel and a 12-volt generator. The wiring harness is new
from YnZ. The radio was reconditioned in Germany. The custom engine
compartment features padded insulation, which color matches the
interior. This Porsche is powered by a 1720cc 4-cylinder engine
with Weber carburetors a John Wilhoit twin ignition backed by a
4-speed manual transmission.
