The 356C represents the final revision of the 356 before the introduction of the 911, sporting disc brakes at all four corners, the first time this layout was used on a Porsche road car. This 1964 Porsche 356C was completed on April 27th, 1964, and was delivered new to its first owner in Los Angeles the same year. It was reportedly acquired by the seller from the second owner in California in 2013, and has received a full repaint of the exterior, a rebuild of the engine and gearbox, and the installation of a new fuel tank, shocks, and a rear camber compensator. Showing 69,508 miles on the odometer and accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, this 356C is now being offered at auction by the seller based in California with 100% of the proceeds being donated to Moms Against Poverty (MAP), a Bay Area-based charity organization with the mission to nurture and educate underprivileged children.

The Ruetter-built body is finished in Silver Metallic, although the original color is listed as Light Ivory on the Porsche COA. It was originally repainted sometime in the 2000s, and received a full Silver Metallic repaint in 2019, including the installation of a new windshield and rubber seals. The seller describes the exterior to be in excellent condition, with no defects. Exterior equipment includes chrome brightwork, a twin-grille engine cover, body-colored bumpers with chrome guards, a chrome luggage rack, mesh headlight covers, gold Porsche badging, amber taillight lenses, and LED lighting in both front and rear. The chrome 15” steel wheels wear center caps with painted Porsche crests, and are mounted with newer Vredestein Sprint Classic tires.

The interior is upholstered in black leatherette with matching door panels, a black dash pad, and salt-and-pepper carpeting, protected by a set of Coco mats. The seller reports the seating surfaces to show minor wear, and the headliner has a small tear in the rear. Additional appointments include an analog clock converted to quartz movement, green-letter VDO instruments, a wood-rimmed steering with a Porsche crest center button, a wooden shift knob also displaying a colored Porsche crest, a locking glove box, and a passenger grab handle.

The numbers-matching 1,582cc flat-four engine features dual Zenith carburetors and drives the rear wheels through a Type 741 four-speed manual transaxle. The engine was said to be rebuilt in 2018 by Evolution Racing of Amityville, NY, including new pistons, cylinders, valves, valve guides, bearings, timing gear, and fuel pump, and the gearbox was reported to be rebuilt by Vic Skirmants at 356 Enterprises with taller 3rd and 4th gears. Other maintenance completed under previous ownership includes new Koni shocks, a new fuel tank, and a rear camber compensator. Years of service and restoration documents are included in the gallery, along with the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.

This sale will include a clean title, a  factory toolkit, a spare chrome wheel, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and associated maintenance and restoration documentation, some dating back to when the car was purchased new. This 356 will be sold on behalf of the organization with all proceeds being sent to the Mothers Against Poverty as a donation on behalf of the original owner.

Moms Against Poverty is a non-profit organization fighting global poverty, child by child.

Working across sixteen nations, with the mission to nurture and educate underprivileged children to lead within their own communities and break the cycle of poverty. The funds raised by the sale of this classic Porsche will allow us to fund many life changing projects for our world’s children. With this donation we will be able to build as many as two schools, or a library, or feed 1,000s of children or a combination thereof. The lasting impact of this contribution will impact the lives of tens of thousands for generations to come.
