1965 Porsche 356SC Coupe

This 356 was repainted in its original Irish Green, the original color as noted on the PCoA. Correct trim is fitted, including the side trim, which is also noted on the CoA. A luggage rack is fitted, and includes black leather tie-down straps. The wheels are factory 4 1/2� Porsche items, three of which are dated 3/1964, and two 11/1965. Vredstein Sprint tires are fitted and measure 165R15 with a 2008 date code. This 356 was originally optioned with a Becker Europa radio, which remains in place. Two aftermarket speakers are fitted in the stock locations, and tan colored Cocomats are fitted in the place of the green items specified by the Porsche COA. The wood-rimmed steering wheel pictured above will be replaced with the original item prior to sale. The original wheel is shown in the gallery. The 1600cc flat-four was rebuilt in 1994 and produced 95 hp when new. The heating system was changed to European specifications, including replacement heat exchangers. A recent leakdown test reportedly showed 7%, 7%, 12%, and 12% across the four cylinders. In 2013, the engine compartment was refurbished, with work including a repaint of the engine sheetmetal and CAD plating the hard fuel lines and carburetor linkages. The generator was rebuilt by Joe Leoni around the same time. The car is equipped with a dual-circuit master cylinder and an electric fuel pump. A slight dent is noted in the battery floor. Koni shock absorbers were fitted in 2014. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity is included, and shows the original configuration. Filed under: 356
