1964 Porsche 356C Cabriolet

• VIN 159175
• Engine No. 710293 - Matching
• Transmission No. 72028
• Completed August 28, 1963
• Certificate of Authenticity

Single-family ownership for the past 22 years finished in a desirable color combination of Black with a Red interior. According to the Certificate of Authenticity, this 356 was originally delivered in Light Ivory (6404) over a Black leather upholstery. Optional equipment included Ventilated Chrome Wheels and Continental Tires.

The black paintwork is in exceptional condition throughout, with excellent gaps and panel fit. The exterior is equipped with Hella 128 fog lights and a chrome luggage rack. The interior is in beautiful condition with newly upholstered seats complemented with German square weave carpets and a new canvas soft-top and headliner. The VDM steering wheel sits ahead of factory VDO instrumentation, a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and a clock. The 5 ½” x 15” chrome wheels are mounted to Vredestein Sprint Classic 165 HR15 tires (dated 2021) with silver Porsche crest hubcaps. The undercarriage and suspension have been detailed and are solid and rust-free.

European Collectibles sold this 356C Cabriolet to Douglas Vernon DeCinces, a former American professional baseball player. DeCinces played Major League Baseball as a third baseman from 1973 to 1987 for the Baltimore Orioles, California Angels, and St. Louis Cardinals. European Collectibles did a comprehensive restoration for DeCinces, which included a full repaint, chrome plating, and all-new rubber seals. The undercarriage was stripped to bare metal and fully detailed. The engine sheet metal was powder coated, the hardware was CAD painted, and all the suspension components were stripped and painted. A new interior was installed, including German carpets, interior and canvas soft top, pad, and headliner. European Collectibles resold this 356C Cabriolet to the past owner from Laguna Beach, California, who meticulously cared for it over the years.

Mechanically powered by its numbers matched 1600cc flat-four engine (Type 616/15) producing 75hp paired to a 4-speed manual transmission (Type 741) with a four-wheel disc braking system. European Collectibles recently rebuilt the top end of the engine, including new pistons and cylinders, rebuilt cylinder heads, and new rod bearings. Complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, spare wheel, and 26 years of service history. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained 356C Cabriolet presented in a striking color combination and offered with its original driveline.
