In 1967 bought 3 year old low mileage clean 1964 SC, still my favorite car 56 years later after spending millions on some great cars

The car is tremendously characterful, it has been very educational and fun to play with. Sounds like you have had some fun ones! 🏎️💨💨Thank you for watching! 🤘😎

I grew up in the 1960's and had a 1953 and 1961 Porsche 356. Then they were all hand built unibody cars where only the doors, decklid and hood bolted onto the body. They never had a rattle, even 60 years later. These German cars do have a nostalgic scent to them which evokes fond memories of all the fun I had with them back in the day. I still love the classic styling and the feeling of driving a go cart that can turn on a dime. This amazing feeling was also only shared with the Porsche 914 which fitted with a bored out 4 cylinder or 911 engine was the ultimate refinement of excitement in an air cooled Porsche. I have had a lot of Porsches over the years and still have a 914, 968 and Boxster S. My favorite for a long drive is the 968 or the Boxster S. But for the most fun driving on the twisties I so much prefer the 914. At age 72, I am so glad I grew up with all these amazing cars and glad to still have 3 of them in my garage. Back in the day, I also had a 1965 Corvette convertible with a 350 engine and 325 hp. Lots of performance but it was like driving a truck and Harley Davidson at the same time. Everything shook and rattled from the door glass to the side pipes. I never really liked anything about that car except the styling. Afterwards, I never owned another vette.

Thank you very much for watching! Hopefully it will become more reliable and less deadly in the near future 😅 Thank you for watching! 🤘😎

The colored crests on the hubcaps were an option on all 356 C and SC

If you’re smelling gas, you might need to replace the gas line in front, under the dash. It’s a common source of gas smells inside the cabin. We’ve had our ‘64 SC sunroof coupe for 55 years.

[@ManinaGarage]

Thank you very much for the heads up, I’ll check it out! 🫡

Now, I suppose we'll have to watch you (and the girls) rebuild carburetors! Actually...looking forward to it!🙂

[@ManinaGarage]

Thank you Sam, that makes me want to actually rebuild a carburetor 🥳 You Rock! 🤘😎

[@samhalgren6305]

I rebuilt all 4 carbs on my 81 Honda CB750. It’s not that difficult, just find a mentor before you begin!

[@Pwelvr]

Hang in there. Get well.

[@ManinaGarage]

Thank you! 🙏
