Up for sale is my 1965 Porsche 356C Cabriolet, matching numbers per the original owner's manual in the glove compartment, chassis number 162068 with engine number 733159. Paint code is 6407. This is a 2 owner car. Included in the sale is the original ignition key with leather "Porsche" maroon fob. Fully documented from day one of its sale date on June 14th,1965. Sold by Mooers Motor Company in Richmond, Virginia. First owner owned the vehicle up to 8/23/1977 where second owner purchased the car. I purchased the car from the second owner. All service receipts with sequential mileage up the current mileage of 70735. Mileage is original. Odometer is working. Every service, every oil change, every tire purchase, every light bulb, every brake service, every state inspection, EVERYTHING from day one on this vehicle. It is rare to find a vehicle with all the service records and receipts and the service booklet in the dash with the dealer stamps in it. Hood and engine grill has the last 2 digits of vin stamped in them. There is no evidence of accident repair in going through all of the receipts. Since purchasing the vehicle we have changed the spark plug wires, put in fresh spark plugs, changed the oil, installed and set new points, changed the transaxle fluid, installed new rubber boots on transaxle, and did a thorough check over on the vehicle. All gauges work-temperature, gas level gauge, speedometer, odometer, tachometer, clock works most of the time, low and high beam lights, turn signals, brake lights. Radio currently does not work. The car maintains its original 6 volt system and charges well. Car has European heater system on it, which is all intact. Engine runs beautifully and takes the gas well. Transmission is smooth and shifts through all 4 forward gears smoothly and goes into reverse smoothly as well. I have driven the car over 400 miles in the past 3 weeks and it is just a blast to drive. Interior is showing some wear especially on the driver side seat; top is present and goes up and down but the rear window will need replacing; all doors close amazingly well and maintain their gaps very well; engine lid closes well. Hood closes well but has been kinked and will need repair. Car is very solid but has a few spots that will need some rust attention: small pencil eraser size blisters in front of driver side door on fender; driver side longitudinal in rear will need some rust repair (see picture). None of the rust on this car affects the structure of the car. We have had the car jacked up in the rear and the doors open and close beautifully while it is jacked up. There is no evidence of accident on the car. I also have a hardtop which is complete for the car that can be purchased additionally. Please see the link below where I have taken over 125 photos of the car: https://plus.google.com/photos/102989007469098779939/albums/6031527074865917553?authkey=CN30-4ORxvbE6gE Here is a short video of the car being driven at highway speeds: http://youtu.be/dNmNmh4xyBE You can buy with confidence.
