    Salesroom Addendum

    Please note that while the original Brumos dealer invoice lists this vehicle as Togo Brown, the Kardex lists the color as Light Ivory (6404). The dealer invoice also lists a different engine number, 711795. It is possible these are the result of clerical errors. The Kardex and dealer invoice are available for review in the vehicle's history file or by contacting a specialist. Please also note it was observed during inspection that the hardtop does not fit the vehicle correctly and will require attention in order to be fitted properly.

    Introduced in 1948 as Porsches first production car, the 356 was continuously developed throughout its manufacturing. By 1963, a 356 C debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show with the new T-6 body, squared-off hood, right-fender gas filler flap, disc brakes, and other refinements.

    Completed on December 20, 1963, this 1964 Porsche 356 C Cabriolet was finished in special-order Togo Brown with a brown leather interior. Well equipped, it featured chrome wheels, fog lamps, a wooden steering wheel, KONI shocks, safety belts, a Blaupunkt-Köln radio, and a rare removable hardtop. According to the original Bill of Sale on file, it was sold new to Samuel Strickler of Birmingham, Mississippi by Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville, Florida. While details about the Porsches subsequent ownership remain scarce, this Cabriolet was evidently treasured, earning numerous awards at PCA concours events in the 1980s. During the 1990s, the 356 was acquired by Don and Molly Marsh of Columbus, Ohio. A lifelong enthusiast, racer, and collector, Mr. Marsh owned one of the most successful Porsche dealerships in the US Midwestern Auto Group and was heavily involved in the Porsche community. The Porsche remained in his care for over two decades, and it retains its matching-numbers engine per a copy of its Kardex on file. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a uniquely specified and well-documented example of one of the most agile and usable sports cars of the 1960s.
