The final and most refined iteration of the 356 series is this 1964
Porsche 356SC Coupe. This is a well-sorted, numbers-matching 356 SC
Coupe, which was Porsche's most powerful pushrod production model.
Completed on February 3, 1964, chassis 216323 was finished in the
rare and highly desirable exterior shadeof Bali Blue over Black
upholstery. Factory equipment includes chrome-plated wheels.
The paintwork presents very well with original brightwork. The
upholstery is in excellent condition with charcoal German
square-weave carpets, black upholstery, a VDM steering wheel, VDO
instrumentation, and a period correct radio. The 4.5" x 15" chrome
wheels are mounted to Vredestein Sprint Classic 165 15 tires (date
coded 2025). The undercarriage is solid and rust-free, and European
Collectibles has recently stripped the floors to steel, undercoated
in Wurth German undershoot to factory specification. The suspension
components have also been stripped to steel and repainted.
According to the documentation, this 356 SC was delivered new
through Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville, Florida, and first sold to
a Mr. Patrick of Charleston, South Carolina. By 1970, the 356 SC
was sold to the second owner, Mr. Christopher. In 1971, he
commissioned a complete engine rebuild from Scott Garage. The
Porsche was later acquired by Mr. Ulmer in 1975, who became the
custodian for over two decades. During his ownership, the 356 SC
was driven and maintained regularly, including a comprehensive
transmission rebuild performed by well-known Porsche specialist Vic
Skirmants on December 21, 1993. After changing hands in the late
1990s and early 2000s, the 356 eventually came into the possession
of its fifth documented owner, who undertook a comprehensive
restoration, encompassing both cosmetic and mechanical aspects.
This involved a complete disassembly and reassembly, focusing on
preserving the originality. The 356SC was repainted inBali Blue,
and the interior was reupholstered in the correct Black upholstery
with charcoal German square-weave carpets. New front and rear
windshields were installed, and the chrome work was replated. In
January 2015,Automotive Techniques of Michigan performed an
extensive $16,000 mechanical service, which included a new exhaust
system, rebuilding the suspension and heater systems, replacing the
rear main seal, replacing the wheel bearings and CV boots,
rebuilding the braking system, and installing new spark plugs and
ignition wires.
Mechanically, this 356SC is powered by the matching 1600cc
flat-four SC engine (Type 616/16), producing 95 horsepower, paired
with a 4-speed manual transmission (Type 741) with a four-wheel
disc braking system, which delivers a balance of performance,
drivability, and reliability.Under the care of the recent owner,
additional mechanical and cosmetic work was carried out by Daniel's
Speed Shop and European Collectibles, including a full
undercarriage detail, complete engine tune, and a brand-new set of
Vredestein Sprint Classic tires (date-coded 2025).This example is
offered with an extensive file of documentation, including Porsche
Production Specifications, a Porsche Kardex - build sheet, jack,
spare wheel, and 35 years of service and restoration records.
Well-documented and finished in a striking factory color
combination, this 1964 Porsche 356SC Coupe presents a rare
opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable and collectible
models in the 356 series.
