The Porsche 356 represents the genesis of a legend, the car that put Stuttgart on the map and laid the philosophical groundwork for every Porsche that followed. By 1964, the 356 was in its final and most refined iteration, the C-series. Within this lineage, the 356SC stood as the pinnacle of performance, boasting a robust 95 horsepower from its 1.6-liter flat-four engine – a significant bump over the standard 356C and a testament to Porsche's continuous pursuit of engineering excellence. These SC models, especially in desirable Cabriolet form, offered an intoxicating blend of open-air motoring and spirited performance, making them highly sought after by enthusiasts then, as now. They were the ultimate expression of the original 356's lightweight, agile ethos before the 911 took the reins. This particular 1964 Porsche 356SC Cabriolet is a truly exceptional example, having undergone a comprehensive, nut-and-bolt restoration in 2016, documented by over $155,000 in invoices. Presented in its factory-correct, matching-numbers colors, this European-specification car retains its original, matching-numbers engine and manual transmission, confirmed by its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and Kardex. Showing just 23,489 miles, its incredible quality is evident throughout, from the deep luster of its paint to the meticulously restored interior. Complete with its original jack, tool kit, and owner's manual, and recently serviced, this 356SC is ready for its next chapter. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously restored, matching-numbers example of Porsche's ultimate pre-911 open-top sports car.
