Overview

Presented here is a 1964 Porsche 356 C 1600 Coupe, the final and most refined iteration of Porsche’s seminal sports car series. Widely regarded as one of the greatest compact grand tourers of its era, this particular example benefits from an extensive restoration and is offered in exceptional condition, wearing an elegant factory-correct grey exterior over black leatherette interior. Delivered in late 1964 and retaining its charm and mechanical integrity, this example exemplifies the timeless character and driving purity that defines the 356.

Exterior

Resplendent in a smooth grey finish, the bodywork displays excellent panel fit and depth of color, the result of a high-quality repaint performed during restoration. The coupe’s iconic silhouette is defined by its teardrop lines, low stance, and smooth contours. All brightwork — from the polished bumper overriders to the delicate chrome window surrounds — presents beautifully. The car rides on classic steel wheels with polished hubcaps, all in excellent condition, completing the vintage Porsche look with poise and originality.

Interior

Inside, the cabin is a model of 1960s simplicity, beautifully finished in black upholstery with proper period-correct materials. The dash features clean VDO instrumentation, a correct steering wheel, and minimal switches, all in well-preserved or restored condition. Black carpeting and seat upholstery show virtually no wear, while the factory headliner and door cards are tidy and correct. Subtle patina complements the restored elements, offering a genuine vintage feel without sacrificing presentation.

Mechanical

Power comes from a 1.6-liter air-cooled flat-four engine, producing a factory-rated 75 horsepower. Paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox, the car delivers the kind of linear, direct driving experience that made the 356 a legend among sports cars. The C model was notable for introducing all-around disc brakes — a significant improvement in stopping performance over earlier drums — making this final variant the most capable and confident of the series.

The engine bay is clean, well-sorted, and reflective of the car’s restored status, while the undercarriage shows a similar level of care and condition. The chassis number is listed as 129575

Driving Experience

Lightweight, agile, and mechanically connected, the 356 C rewards its driver with nimble handling, unmistakable air-cooled sounds, and surprising comfort over distance. The 1600cc engine provides brisk, usable performance in town or on winding back roads, making it an ideal companion for weekend touring or classic rallying. With its upgraded braking and refined final-series enhancements, the 356 C remains the most livable and enjoyable variant of the line.

Summary

This 1964 Porsche 356 C Coupe represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored, late-production 356 in its most mechanically advanced configuration. With its classic color combination, meticulous restoration, and strong mechanicals, this car would be equally at home on the concours lawn or navigating a vintage driving event.
