About this 1965 Porsche 356 Cabriolet

VIN: 161008

Happy to offer this 1965 Porsche 356C Cabriolet, representing the final year of production for one of Porsche’s most iconic air-cooled models. Finished in its factory-correct Ivory over a red interior, this 356C presents in a timeless and highly desirable color combination that continues to define the classic Porsche aesthetic.
This example was acquired by the current owner in 2008 out of Northern California and has been lightly driven since, with just over 5,000 miles added during their ownership. The 356 received a cosmetic refresh at some point, returning it to its original factory color scheme and contributing to the clean, cohesive presentation it offers today.
Power comes from a matching-numbers flat-four engine paired with its original transmission, both of which have been verified by a local Porsche Classic Center.
Recent mechanical attention includes servicing the carburetors, along with a fresh engine oil and filter change. The car has also been fitted with a new set of Michelin tires, making it well-positioned for immediate driving enjoyment.
The 356C Cabriolet represents the most refined evolution of the 356 lineup, featuring four-wheel disc brakes and improved drivability over earlier variants. This example offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-presenting, matching-numbers 1965 Porsche 356C Cabriolet that is ready to be enjoyed while leaving room for continued stewardship.
