A Porsche 356SC is a special car, but finding one that’s been stashed away for almost 60 years is really something. However, this classic wasn’t kept washed and polished the whole time, which we realize is mind blowing for anyone who realizes its value. Obviously, to the owner, it just wasn’t worth the hassle.
Watch the same owner’s Volkswagen Thing also get fully detailed.
What’s crazy is this classic Porsche only has 17,700 original miles on it. That’s why the exterior and interior as so incredibly well preserved, like an automotive time capsule. In fact, the interior looks almost brand new.
As the final iteration of the Porsche 356, the SC was introduced in 1964 as a step up from the also-new C. The SC came with a a higher compression ratio, upgraded carbs, more aggressive camshafts, larger intake/exhaust valves, and other upgrades.
All that meant more power for the driver to enjoy, 107-bhp and 91 lb.-ft. of torque, to be specific. While it wouldn’t be considered quick or fast by today’s standards, back in the day it was a hot little ride many enjoyed on the street and track.
Plus, these days a well-preserved Porsche 356SC can sell for big money. Seeing one in this state might be disturbing, but the owner at least kept it whole and in overall good condition. We still would’ve kept it clean even if we wanted to park it for decades, but he obviously felt differently about it.
Thanks to a thorough professional detailing job performed by the guys at WD Detailing, they make the classic Porsche truly shine again. It looks like a show car in the footage, which is seriously impressive. Usually, barn finds don’t clean up nearly this well.
Check out the video, it’s amazing viewing.
