Vehicle Description
History
The last revision of the 356 was the 356 C introduced for the 1964
model year. It featured disc brakes all around, as well as an
option for the most powerful pushrod engine Porsche had ever
produced, the 95 horse power "SC". Production of the 356 peaked at
14,151 cars in 1964, the year that its successor, the new 911, was
introduced to the US market (it was introduced slightly earlier in
Europe). The company continued to sell the 356 C in North America
through 1965 as demand for the model remained quite strong in the
early days of the heavier and more "civilized" 911.
