Description
Porsche connoisseurs recognize that the 356 C 1600 SC is one of the finest 356s to enjoy on the open road, and this wonderfully restored Cabriolet has been specified seemingly with thrilling driving in mind.
Ordered in rare Slate Grey (Code 6401), this T6 Cabriolet was delivered new on 25 March 1964 to its original owner, Mr. Mortimer Shapiro, via Ben Pon’s Automobielhandel distributorship in Holland.
According to its factory Kardex, a letter from Porsche Classic, and Certificate of Authenticity, it was fitted with a Type 616/16 air-cooled 1,582-cubic-centimeter four-cylinder engine with dual carburetors rated at 95 horsepower.
The SC Cabriolet was Porsche’s almost top-of-the-line product, overshadowed only by the exotic Carrera 2; from a usability standpoint, the SC provided nearly all the thrills, with far less mechanical complexity.
The transmission was a fully synchronized four-speed-plus-reverse manual unit, Type 741/2C.
Disc brakes were fitted all around.
