Vehicle Description
This 1964 Porsche 356C SC is a Reutter-bodied coupe that was built
in late 1964 (October 26, 1964 Acceptance certificate date) . The
car was repainted in Guards Red by a prior owner, but was
originally the much sought after Ivory (6404B). Power comes from a
matching numbers 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a matching numbers
four-speed manual transaxle, and other features include ventilated
15? wheels with hubcaps, optional dash clock, four-wheel disc
brakes, VDO gauges, and a Blaupunkt radio. The SC represents the
last iteration of the 356 and the highest level of engine
development, sporting 95HP and the much coveted large oil pickup!
(This particular engine has higher compression 1720 pistons)
Service has been extensive and included work to all systems
(steering, braking, suspension, drive train, etc) to bring the car
into excellent running and driving condition. New rubber seals have
been applied at openings (doors/windows/lids). New tires fitted.
Many new suspension rubber components were added to return the
suspension to fully serviceable condition and
reconditioning/restoration of various component parts was
performed. All work performed by noted 356 specialists, including
Jerry Pelegrino, George Nelson and German Motors, Providence RI.
Ventilated chrome-finished 15? wheels with hubcaps are mounted with
BF Goodrich 175/80R Touring T/A tires. Four-wheel disc brakes were
introduced to the 356 in 1964 models. All brakes were serviced and
received new seals and lines where needed. The transmission out
service was performed in late 2022 and included new seals as well
as a new main shaft and bushing from Vic Skirmants at 356
Enterprises.The front bucket seats and folding rear seats are
trimmed in black upholstery complemented by matching square-weave
carpeting, door panels, and trim all of which is believed to be
original and is good serviceable condition. A Blaupunkt LMKU-band
radio is mounted below a VDO clock in the center of the dashboard.
A factory C steering wheel sits ahead of green-letter VDO
instrumentation that includes a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm
redline, a 120-mph speedometer, and a combination gauge. The
five-digit odometer shows 06505k miles. True mileage is
unknown.
The car received many other service items too numerous to list
including new battery, new ground straps, new battery box.
The 1.6-liter flat-four was serviced with an oil change in early
2022 and tune up including replacement of various seals and
bushings. Heating system received service and reconditioning. At
the same time, underbody retaining straps and cables were
replaced.
The engine-case stamping reads P? 812610? and is consistent with a
late 1964 356C 1600 SC engine with a 9.5:1 compression ratio rated
at 95 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and consistent with factory Kardex.
Engine out service was performed in late 2022 and extensive
detailing and reconditioning/restoration was performed. The car has
benefitted by replacement floor and rocker panels and no corrosion
exists. Undercoating was applied per factory specifications. All in
all, an excellent 356 that is capable of driving long distances at
speed and in comfort. Give us a call to schedule a viewing today!
