2.6L Polo-Powered 1964 Porsche 356C Coupe
The 1964 Porsche 356C Coupe presented here is a timeless classic with roots deeply embedded in history. Built in the vintage year of 1964 in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany, this vehicle bears the distinctive silhouette associated with the iconic German marque. Powered by a robust and responsive 2.6L flat-four engines, affectionately known as the 'Polo' variant, it embodies Porsche's traditional air-cooled engine design that has become a hallmark of their sportscar heritage.
This particular 356C Coupe was lovingly refurbished in recent years to restore its former glory. Having undergone extensive recommissioning in 2010 by its current owner, who acquired it in 2016, the car now gleams in an elegant silver finish complemented by Salmon leather upholstery throughout the cabin, offering a delightful blend of elegance and sportiness.
The manual transmission has been equally well-served: a four-speed manual transaxle was rebuilt during the restoration process and enhanced with a short shifter for smoother gear shifts. The meticulous attention to detail extends beyond aesthetics; features such as twin-plug ignition, reflecting Porsche's quest for performance precision, come standard in this rare motorcar.
Moreover, the car has been lovingly maintained by Porsche enthusiasts over its lifetime, residing predominantly in Huntington Beach, California, where it continues to captivate admirers of classic motorsports history. Today, this 1964 Porsche 356C Coupe presents an attractive opportunity for collectors and Porsche purists alike in search for a captivating piece of automotive history that combines rarity, elegance, and performance prowess.
