Concours 1964 Porsche 356C

This 1964 Porsche 356C Coupe is a truly exceptional example of the final evolution of Porsche’s iconic 356 line. Delivered new to California, it spent decades in the dry U.S. climate before being imported into Ireland in 2005. In 2020, it underwent a comprehensive, no-expense-spared restoration that returned the car to better-than-new condition. Featuring matching numbers and finished in its original Ruby Red over black leatherette and velour interior, this car combines stunning presentation with impeccable mechanical health. A beautifully balanced and usable classic, ideal for collectors or weekend drivers alike. Presented in its factory-correct Ruby Red, the exterior is nothing short of immaculate. The paintwork shows a deep, even gloss with no blemishes, and the body panels are laser-straight with perfect fitment. All chrome—including bumpers, handles, window trims, and hubcaps—has been refinished to a mirror shine. The undercarriage is pristine, and all rubber seals, light lenses, and glass are fresh or refurbished. It sits on period-correct 15" steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and new Dunlop tyres. The black leatherette and velour interior has been completely restored to factory standards, using correct materials and finishes throughout. The seats, carpets, door panels, and headliner are in flawless condition, providing a clean and accurate period look. The dashboard houses a set of fully functioning VDO gauges, original switchgear, and a period-correct Blaupunkt radio. The cabin is detailed to concours level, with even minor elements like knobs, seat runners, and fasteners restored or replaced to exacting standards. Under the rear lid lies the matching-numbers 1.6L flat-four engine, fully rebuilt and tuned for smooth, reliable performance. It starts effortlessly and delivers strong, clean power through a 4-speed manual gearbox. Braking is provided by factory-correct four-wheel disc brakes—an upgrade that distinguishes the 356C from its predecessors. The suspension, steering, and drivetrain have all been meticulously restored, resulting in a car that is as mechanically sound as it is visually striking. The engine bay is fully detailed and concours-presented. This 356C offers an authentic and rewarding driving experience. It feels nimble, composed, and communicative, with confident braking and sharp cornering balance. The rebuilt engine pulls strongly, while the gearbox shifts cleanly and precisely. The ride quality is tight but comfortable, and the car is a pleasure whether on winding country roads or relaxed weekend drives. It's a truly dialed-in example, restored not just to show—but to drive.
