Vehicle Description
This 1965 Porsche 356 C Cabriolet was the only Orange 356 Cabriolet
produced for the 1965 model year, which makes it a one-of-one
automobile (information verified by its COA). This model has
recently undergone a complete, bare-metal, Concours restoration
wherein all drive-train and suspension components were completely
refurbished by Carolina Coach Crafters in Mooresville, N.C. This
model includes a brand new handcrafted leather interior and
convertible top.
Our '65 356 is a turn-key, investment-grade vehicle that is ready
to be showcased in the world's elite Concours. It was recently
recognized by FlatSix.com as one of their favorite 20 Porsches from
Monterey 2016. It received a podium finish at Werks Reunion in 2016
and it was the recipient of the Palmetto Award at Hilton Head
Island Concours d'Elegance 2016. This year, it was awarded best in
its class, 356 Open, at Amelia Island.
The year of 1965 was the final year of production for the 356 model
because Porsche was introducing the US market to its successor: the
911. Porsche continued to sell the 356 C as demand for the model
was extreme in the early days compared to the heavier and more
"civilized" 911.
Our 356 is the ONLY Continental Orange Cabriolet produced for the
1965 model year. It comes dressed in its striking orange exterior
with a stunning black leather configuration.
No expense was spared in the restoration and every effort was made
to preserve as many of the original components (down to nuts,
bolts, etc.) versus replacing them with new 'off-the-shelf' parts.
Many of the original components including the wheels were
professionally re-chromed and are absolutely stunning. The black
leather interior is brand new and was completed by one of the best
in the business.
To put it simply, this car is flawless, this car is exceptional,
and this car is waiting to take you on the ride of your life.
