The Porsche 356C represented the final evolution of the original 356 line, combining four-wheel disc brakes with the familiar rear-mounted flat-four that had defined Porsche’s first production sports car. By 1965, the model was approaching the end of its production run, offering a refined driving experience while retaining the lightweight simplicity that made the 356… Read More Owned 58 years: 1965 Porsche 356C Coupé
The 356C sits at the end of the original 356 line, with disc brakes and the most developed version of the basic shape before the 911 fully took over.

“Another one to restore” we thought when we’ve seen the thumbnail of this 356C which looked like a car just like many other 356: a lot of rust and few things to save. Actually this car is has been (almost) totally restored: the owner wanted for sure to preserve the “ratty” look without compromising reliability… Read More Flawless: 1965 Porsche 356C Coupé
