VIDEO: DRIVING A FULLY RESTORED 1965 PORSCHE 356C!

1965 was the final year for the Porsche 356. A Father/Son project featured a punched out 1780cc engine, mild outlaw body work and a rally-inspired interior with fresh hides and rare vintage Tag Heuer rally clocks. 

Although the Porsche is slow, Matt's first drive even in a 356 reveals that you can easily feel Porsche's entire lineage and where modern 911 came from when driving one of these old classics. 

Production started in 1948 at Gmünd, Austria, where approximately 50 cars were built. in 1950 the factory relocated to Zuffenhausen, Germany and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965, well after the replacement model 911 made its autumn 1963 debut. Of all the 76,000 originally produced, approximately half survived.
