Excellent mechanical condition and ready to either enjoy or undergo a cosmetic restoration! History The last revision of the 356 was the 356C introduced for the 1964 model year.
It featured disc brakes all round, as well as an option for the most powerful pushrod engine Porsche had ever produced, the 95 horse power SC.
356 production peaked at 14,151 cars in 1964, the year that its successor, the new 911, was introduced to the US market (it was introduced slightly earlier in Europe).
The company continued to sell the 356C in North America through 1965 as demand for the model remained quite strong in the early days of the heavier and more civilized 911.
The last ten 356's (cabriolets) were assembled for the Dutch police force in March 1966 as 1965 models.
