📜 Summary
This 1964 Porsche 356 C 1600 represents the final evolution of the legendary 356 line, benefiting from disc brakes all around and decades of refinement. Freshly restored to an exceptional standard with only 752 miles since completion, it combines originality with subtle enhancements like LED lighting and an Abarth exhaust.
Finished in its original Slate Grey over red leather, with correct Fuchs wheels and desirable period details, this 356 C is both visually stunning and mechanically dialed in. A documented restoration, Porsche CoA, and minimal post-restoration use make it a turn-key investment-grade classic, equally suited for spirited drives or a premier collection.
