Porsche 356 C 1600 Reutter Coupe, '64

 
 
1964 Porsche 356 C Sunroof Coupe in White with Black interior.
 
 
 
The car runs and drives very strongly, the engine starts perfectly every time, excellent oil pressure while it runs. She doesn"t burn any oil nor does it smoke nor are there any engine issues. In the morning when the car is cold, it starts up after depressing the gas pedal 2 times and then turning the ignition switch. It then roars to life! Transmission is very smooth in all 4 gears and in reverse. Clutch is strong and there is no slippage. All of the syncro"s of the transmission are perfect. The car accelerates well and "takes the gas" very well with no stumbling or hesitation. In fact, if you decide to buy the car I would not hesitate at all in driving the car home any kind of distance.
All  gauges work, speedometer, odometer, tachometer, individual vdo oil pressure and temperature gauges which work, lights work, horn works, even the radio works! Tires are excellent and brakes stop the car well. Emergency/hand brake holds even on a hill and windshield wipers work. Car retains its original 6 volt system and the charging system works. Windows are smooth and go up and down with ease. Vent windows work as well as does the rear quarter windows.
 
87,000 original miles, matching engine and transmission #"s and original to the car. Sold new to a wealthy Californian who took European delivery drove it in Europe for a month, brought it back to LA and sold it in "65 to the lady who has owned it ever since. Always lived in So Cal and still retains both its Californian Black license plates. Remarkably rust & accident free, Superb original floors, perfect panel fit all round. Painted once many years ago and decent but old and only driver quality. Still has its original Blaupunkt Frankfurt Radio. Decent functional interior, roof liner has a couple of holes. New sunroof cables just fitted. Mechanically superb and a delight to drive. Comes with it Porsche Certificate of Authenticity verifying engine and transmission #"s, etc.
 
The sunroof is a great extra, plus great provenience from a set of California Black plates and  continuously South California ownership. This is a car for a legitimate collection.
The body is in very good condition with an older presentable paint job which is ivory white. The car was originally silver. The car was painted white in the early 1990"s and the paint shows wells but has some wear and scratches and nicks from over time. The car would be just gorgeous painted its original silver color with red interior. The interior shows some wear and age. It is functional but the word used to describe it best is that the interior is "tired" but very clean. The seats and carpet could probably stand some freshening up. Of course, you can drive it the way it is and then do the upholstery down the road, say over the winter months, enjoying the car for the summer and then getting it ready for next season.
 
The gaps on the car are just fantastic! They are even all the way around and there is no evidence that the car has ever been in an accident. If you are looking for a nice and straight Porsche 356 with just phenomenal gaps in the doors and hood and engine lid, then this is the car. The car is solid, the bottom of the doors are solid. The car is solid and there are no holes in the floor that need rust repair. In fact, there would be very little rust repair to do on the car and most of it is on the bottom part of the doors. Jack spurs appear solid, longitudinals are solid and the floor is solid. The battery box had some minor repair on it, but it is solid and original.
 
This car had a major service in 2005 where the engine came out and new seals were installed, fuel pump, distributor rebuilt, brakes rebuilt, new clutch, etc. The total spent for this service was $5564.26.There are other receipts which go along with the car. It just shows that the car has been well taken care of and maintained over the years. She"s not a garage queen, she drives smoothly, she isn"t a show car either but she could be with a few thousands invested in the car
