Porsche 356c 1965 Sunroof, California Car, Runs Great, Solid, Videos!! on 2040-cars

Up for sale is my 1965 C Sunroof Coupe, with electric sunroof, original California car, registration shows the car was originally sold and tagged in 1965 in California. The last production year of the 356, best of the 356s with disc brakes and better driveability than earlier models, this car having the hard to find electric sunroof option. Registration shows car resided in Los Angeles until just recently.  Super solid pans, the pans are original to the car and look good with no rust or perforations. All jack points are solid with no rust as well and longitudinals are excellent.  Battery box has one slit about 7 inches long but otherwise is excellent. Doors close well with the characteristic Porsche "thunk" and hood and engine lid close neatly and evenly as well. Electric sunroof opens and closes with factory mounted switch under left side of dash. The sunroof appears as though it could use a little adjustment judging from the paint scraped off on top of the sunroof but it does open and close. Original color was dolphin grey as can be seen on the underside of the doors. Car was repainted many years ago metallic blue. Paint has scratches but has a nice shine to it. Can be driven as it is until restoration is undertaken to return the car to its original color, if so desired. Interior is original, original carpeting, original seats and headliner. All showing some wear but nice to find one with the original interior as it came from the factory. Speedometer, odometer, tachometer and gas gauge and oil pressure light all work.

Engine runs very well and "takes the gas". This is a non-numbers matching car and the engine has a third piece that is not stamped. The third piece of the engine is blank.  Clutch and transmission are fine. All new shift bushings were installed and the car shifts through all 4 forward gears well and cleanly as does reverse. All 4 brake calipers were removed from the car, were then totally disassembled and cleaned with solvent and brake cleaner and high pressure air. Then they were media blasted and painted high temperature silver. Each caliper was then rebuilt with new seals and dust covers and then installed. New rubber brake lines were installed on each wheel. The car stops evenly and on a "dime". Since the car sat for so many years (last registration is 1976), the gas tank was not usable since the gasoline had turned to varnish. A new tank was ordered from Stoddards Porsche parts and installed along with a new fuel shutoff valve. Also new correct rubber fuel lines were installed. The engine runs without hesitation and there is no worries that sediment or dirt will get into the fuel system of the car. With a quick turn of the ignition switch the car starts right up and you are ready to drive off almost immediately.
