CPR Classic is delighted to offer this lovely 1964 Porsche 356C
restomod that benefits from a recently-completed rotisserie
restoration to very high standards.
This 356C was treated to a host of upgrades during its restoration
including a big bore kit, fuel injection, and R134 air
conditioning! The restoration was completed in January of 2023, and
the car has traveled approximately 1,000 miles since
completion.
When the restoration began, this 356 was completely disassembled
and stripped to bare metal. All necessary rust repair and panel
replacement was performed. The car was sealed, primed, prepared,
and finished in Stone Grey.
The California Central-Valley-based restoration ensemble
reassembled the car with all new consumables, including seals,
weather stripping, and fresh hardware.
All exterior chrome is fresh.
The engine installed is a 1958 replacement case that received the
following during its full rebuild: a new flywheel, clutch, pressure
plate, head studs, valves, springs, retainers, 356C crankshaft, rod
and main bearings, billet street-grind camshaft, cam drive gear,
86mm 9.2:1 hypereutectic piston set in biral cylinders, resurfaced
heads, oil pump repair, reconditioned rods, and resurfaced lifters.
The modifications yielded a modest displacement increase to
1,720cc- but added potency.
A Redline fuel management system controls the manifold-mounted fuel
injectors.
The engine mates to a refreshed, number-matching transaxle.
The suspension system was comprehensively overhauled, including
cosmetic refurbishment of all surface finishes, new Koni dampers, a
new brake master cylinder, rebuilt brake calipers with new pistons
and crossover lines, and new rotors.
The interior was fully refinished in Brown with corduroy inserts
and oatmeal square weave carpet. 3 point shoulder harnesses have
been installed for added peace of mind, and the interior is rounded
out by a beautiful MOMO INDY wooden steering wheel mounted to a
quick-release hub for ease of entering and exiting the car.
Custom, unobtrusive, A/C vents were added to the interior and the
implemented R134 A/C is wonderful comfort in a car that never had
A/C from the factory.
Electrically the car remains a 6-volt example- with the exception
of a separate 12-volt harness created to handle the Redline
Electronic Fuel Injection, fuel pump, air conditioning, electric
antenna, windshield washer motor, new Bluetooth radio, and the
12V-90 Amp alternator. The 12-volt wiring harness schematics are
included. The compressor mount, electronic crank trigger, and
pulley were made for this car. A fuel-pressure gauge is mounted in
the engine compartment.
This car also features a safety modification in the form of a
decklid-mounted third brake light.
This Porsche 356C has undergone a painstaking restoration that has
culminated in a 356 that is remarkably comfortable by modern
standards.
The addition of fuel injection and a big bore kit makes the car
start, run, and drive effortlessly in nearly all conditions; added
A/C brings outstanding comfort in warm or humid weather. Detailed
invoices of the interior restoration process are included in the
sale.
If you are looking for a 356 that is freshly restored but
modernized to the point where it can be used for road trips,
extended summer drives, or simply daily use as a comfortable
classic, this is a must-consider example.
