1965 PORSCHE 356C CABRIOLET

Serial Number 161671

114,747 MILES

This two owner 1965 Porsche 356C is a Reutter-built cabriolet, acquired by the current owner from a private individual from Virginia in 1975. Finished from the factory in Signal Red (6407), the car was repainted under current ownership in 1976. Exterior details include a black soft top, a twin-grille deck lid, headlight guards, body color bumpers with chrome rear overriders and a tonneau cover. Chrome-finished 15” wheels wear hubcaps with Porsche crests, and are mounted with 165-series Cooper Sportsmaster GLT tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes.

The front bucket seats have been reupholstered in black vinyl with corduroy inserts and are joined by a color-coordinated dash pad, rear jump seats, and door panels. A Blaupunkt AM/FM radio is fitted in the factory location and Coco floor mats line the front footwells. Red lap belts have been added for front occupants.

VDO instrumentation consists of a central tachometer flanked by a 120-mph speedometer and a combination gauge. The five-digit odometer is said to have rolled over once and shows 14,747 miles. Approximately 30,000 miles were added under current ownership.

The air-cooled 1.6L flat four was rebuilt in 1997 and bored out to 1720 cc. It features dual carburetors and a Bursch exhaust system that exits behind the right rear wheel. The electrical system has been converted to 12-volt operation, and all hoses and fuel lines were replaced in 2022. The vehicle comes with a partial tool kit, owner’s manual, service records back to 1971 and a clean Michigan title.

Disclosures: Wear is visible on the wood-rimmed steering wheel, and the sun visors are discolored. There are paint cracks on the right front corner, a slight bend on the driver’s side of the front hood and some paint chips. All of the above can be seen in the photo gallery.

Other than the cosmetic flaws mentioned above, the car looks and runs great. The engine is strong, it shifts easily with light, precise clutch action and stops as it should. The car attracts lots of attention due to its shiny signal red paint and chrome steel wheels.
