When our collector friend sold us this car, he shared that he had purchased this cab from European Collectibles, one of the preeminent Porsche Restoration and Sales facilities in California. The following is taken from their description...

European Collectibles sold this 356C Cabriolet to Douglas Vernon DeCinces, a former American professional baseball player. DeCinces played Major League Baseball as a third baseman from 1973 to 1987 for the Baltimore Orioles, California Angels, and St. Louis Cardinals. European Collectibles did a comprehensive restoration for DeCinces, which included a full repaint, chrome plating, and all-new rubber seals. The undercarriage was stripped to bare metal and fully detailed. The engine sheet metal was powder coated, the hardware was CAD painted, and all the suspension components were stripped and painted. A new interior was installed, including German carpets, interior and canvas soft top, pad, and headliner. European Collectibles resold this 356C Cabriolet to the past owner from Laguna Beach, California, who meticulously cared for it over the years.

Mechanically powered by its numbers matched 1600cc flat-four engine (Type 616/15) producing 75hp paired to a 4-speed manual transmission (Type 741) with a four-wheel disc braking system. European Collectibles recently rebuilt the top end of the engine, including new pistons and cylinders, rebuilt cylinder heads, and new rod bearings. Complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, spare wheel, and 26 years of service history. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained 356C Cabriolet presented in a striking color combination and offered with its original driveline.

Drive it, show it, keep it in a bubble and polish it as a prized possession, the choice is yours once you make it yours.
