This 1965 Porsche 356 SC Karmann is a great opportunity to own a highly regarded collector's car. The 356 was Porsche's first ever production model, with the C being the last revision. Produced over just two years, a total of 16,811 356C's rolled off the line with 13,510 being coupes. What a wonder it would be to know how many were SC's and how many survived. While all C models were fit with a 4 speed manual, the SC received the most powerful pushrod engine Porsche had ever produced. The 1.6L 'Type 616/16 B4' produced 95hp, and was utilised in the Netherlands-owned Police 356s. The car then underwent extensive body restoration over 3 years, totalling around $40,000, with some body being left in its original condition for posterity. This included all floor pans, sills, front wheel arches, and rear shell being completely stripped down and refabricated where necessary. Then, in September 2025, the car received a carby overhaul, carby kits, air cleaners, and the engine bay clean at approx $2700. The car comes with a file of receipts for the engine work and a large photo album documenting all of the bodywork. Additionally, the 356 comes with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. This Certificate states that, although originally manufactured with a Black exterior, it has retained the Red Leatherette interior and matching numbers engine. The interior and paint are tidy though certainly not new - keeping in mind it is 60 years of age.
