1965 Porsche 356

1965 Porsche 356C Coupe ⢠VIN 221094 ⢠Engine No. 716377 ⢠Transmission No. 84314 ⢠Completed on December 2, 1964 ⢠Porsche Kardex Well-documented 356C Coupe, sold new by Gus Mozart Inc. of Palo Alto, California, to D.J. Gray from Stanford, California, on April 12, 1965. Originally finished in Signal Red with a Black interior, this 356 was equipped with an outside mirror, CoCo mats, chrome wheels, headrests, Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and seat belts.

The current owner acquired the 356 in 1997 with 57,463 miles recorded. With mileage records dating back to the original purchase, this California black-plate 356C currently has just 60,478 miles from new, further reflecting long-term stewardship and limited use. The paintwork presents well with some patina. The body is very straight, with good gaps and panel fit, and the exterior retains its original components and glass. The interior is very original with a preservation character, featuring black upholstery, original seats and carpeting, with a VDM steering wheel and VDO instrumentation. The chrome-plated wheels are mounted to Vredestein Sprint Classic 165 70 HR15 tires with the correct stance. The undercarriage is solid, rust-free, and original. Service records document dealer-performed services for multiple decades. The second owner, Frank Enea, worked with David Loop European, who performed significant mechanical work that included a complete engine rebuild, installation of motor mounts, replacement of front and rear shock absorbers, rebuilding of the front brake calipers, replacement of axle boots, repair of the window regulator, cleaning and undercoating of the front compartment, replacement of s
