GarageScout Take

The factory Slate Grey Karmann coupe has been reworked into a red, rear-seat-delete 356C with a replacement big-bore flat-four and 12-volt electrics. Red is uncommon among observed examples of this generation, and mileage sits below the generation median.

Strengths

  • Kardex documentation records the car's 1965 build date, factory colours, and serial numbers.
  • The drivetrain includes a replacement big-bore flat-four and reportedly rebuilt transaxle.
  • The 12-volt conversion includes a YnZ wiring harness, while the braking system has a dual master cylinder and stainless-steel rear lines.
  • The VDO instruments were reportedly restored by North Hollywood Speedometer.

Watch For

  • The car was repainted red under prior ownership after reported metal repairs; its factory finish was Slate Grey.
  • The 25k-mile odometer is stated to be inaccurate, and total mileage is unknown.
  • The rear seats, bumper overriders, bumper trim, and front hood handle have been deleted, and drilled door handles are fitted.
  • The California title lists “Title Only.”
