European Collectibles performed a ground-up restoration for one of our clients on this 1964 356C Cabriolet over a 20-month period from 2012 to 2014. During the restoration, this 356 was completely disassembled so that every aspect could be properly addressed. Everything has been rebuilt or restored including the matching 1600cc engine, 4-speed manual 741 transmission, and four-wheel disc brake system. On July 1, 2021, at 27,070 miles, Sublime Silverlake in Los Angeles, California performed an oil change, oil filter replacement, installed five (5) Vredestein Sprint Classic 165 HR15 tires, and a new battery was installed.

Mechanically powered by its matching 1600cc flat-four engine (producing 75hp) that runs phenomenally with a matching (741) 4-speed manual transmission. Offered with tools, owner's manual, boot cover, and Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche confirming matching decks, doors, and driveline. Examples such as this come to market infrequently and make an excellent addition to any collection.
