com/gp/ email protected /11Bz09 California car Matching numbers engine and transmission Fully restored Service records from new, as well as restoration records All original purchase documents, window sticker, supplemental sticker, and books Original California plates Complete glove box kit, tools, and jack This stunning Porsche 356 SC was purchased new by Joseph Tengler and his wife Charlotte (Charlie) on March, 24 1964 at the Omaha Volkswagen dealership in Nebraska just before Joe finished dental school.
The original window sticker shows that the car was listed at $4,815.
00, but Joe and Charlie decided to add a few accessories such as a Sapphire II radio by Bendix for $132.
50, chrome wheels for $80.
00 and a set of seat belts for $12.
90.
Out the door, Joe and Charlie paid $5,043.
40, which was a lot of money in the mid 60s.
They traded in their 1959 Volkswagen bug and never looked back.
They registered the car in California in Charlie's name as she was a California resident, as they were planning to move back to California.
Although the car was purchased in Omaha Nebraska, it spent a short time there before it was driven 1500 miles to Long Beach, California so Joe could take his boards to become a dentist.
Joe purchased a dental practice in the Imperial Valley where he and Charlie started a family.
The family quickly increased from two to five in just three short years, with two sons riding in the back seat and a daughter riding in the front on Charlie's lap.
Finally, the Tengler family outgrew the small car and it became a daily driver for Dr.
Tengler to drive back and forth to his dental practice.
Dr.
Tengler would pass away in the 90s, and the car was put in the care of his son Eric.
As a tribute to his father and his many years with the family car, Eric gave the car to Ted Blake of Sacramento CA, a Porsche purist and 356 expert, to be fully restored.
Over the next 8 years the car would go through a complete ground up restoration.
The 356 had been meticulously cared for over the years, and once stripped down to bare metal it was found to be void of corrosion, and accident free.
(It is well known that cars that have spent their life in California are typically rust-free.
) The car was repainted in its original light ivory and the interior redone in the original red leatherette.
Once the car was finished, and looked just like the day it was delivered from Porsche 44 years earlier, the reality of having his father's 356 back in his hands proved too much emotionally for Eric to bear.
He would sell the family heirloom after only driving it briefly.
Jack Brauer of Oceanside, CA would become the car's new custodian in 2010.
Over the years he would have John Chambers Motorsports of Leucadia, CA care for the car.
Since then the car was sold to a friend of Bruce Canepa whose collection consisted of some of the finest collectible Porsches.
Canepa had the privilege of selling this 356 to its current owner, who has decided to part ways with the car which is still in the same condition as when it left Canepa.
To be sold with a pre-delivery Service, full concourse-show-level Canepa Difference Detail, Owners Manuals, tool kit, glove box kit, jack, and spare wheel.
Bruce considers this car to be one of the best restored original 356 SC coupes he has ever seen.
