1964 Porsche 356 SC Coupe — Numbers-Matching Drivetrain

Freshly arrived in our inventory and ready to be enjoyed. More photos coming soon!

This 1964 Porsche 356 SC Coupe pairs exactly what enthusiasts want in a 356: a numbers-matching drivetrain, the performance upgrades of the top pushrod model, and—most importantly—a car that is ready to be enjoyed.

Introduced as the highest-performing pushrod 356, the SC was the enthusiast’s choice in the 356 C lineup. Its Type 616/15 engine produces 95 hp, giving the SC a lively, eager character that suits the light and wonderfully communicative 356 chassis. The C-generation upgrades make the package even better, including ATE disc brakes at all four corners for improved stopping power and fade resistance, along with late-series suspension development that makes the SC among the most composed and predictable 356s to drive.

And driving is really the point. This SC is a terrific example of the increasingly appreciated idea that it can be far more rewarding to drive a modest-horsepower car enthusiastically than to tiptoe around something with twice the power. The 356 rewards momentum, smooth inputs, and a good road—and this one is ready to do exactly that.

Freshly arrived from a New York collector, this numbers-matching SC also presents a compelling value proposition. Rather than beginning with a lesser car and embarking on a lengthy, expensive restoration—where paint, bodywork, mechanical rebuilding, trim, and countless small details can quickly add up—this is an opportunity to buy a complete, proven driving example from the outset. You get the authenticity of its matching drivetrain, the desirability of the SC specification, and the ability to enjoy the car now rather than spending years restoring one.

For the enthusiast who values originality, usability, and the unmistakable charm of a well-sorted 356, this SC Coupe hits a very appealing sweet spot.
