Historic Background
Introduced in 1963 the final version of the 356 family, the 356C is probably the best driving version of this charismatic line. While the 356 changed over time with various mechanical refinements, the basic shape remained the same and was instantly recognizable year to year. Coupe and cabriolet models were produced every year up to 1965. The final model, the 356C, featured disc brakes and two engine options, the most powerful pushrod engine Porsche ever produced: the 95 hp “SC” as well as the standard “C” at 75 hp. 356 production peaked at 14,151 cars in 1964, the year that the new 911 model went on the market, although the company continued to sell the 356C in North America.

In 2004, Sports Car International named the 356 SC number ten on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. Today the Porsche 356 is a well regarded collector car that has stood the test of time.
