## How to read this page

- Prices are US list prices in the dollars of that model year.
- "Not sourced" means the option was offered but no source for its price has been found. It does not mean free.
- A code of `none` means the factory code is not documented. Name the option instead of supplying a code.
- The same code can mean different things in different generations.
- "(assumed)" marks availability that is inferred: the option is documented in other model years of the same phase of the generation, or on the trim this one derives from, and is assumed here.

## Background

The 356 C was introduced for the 1964 model year and was the final version of the 356. It kept the T6 body of the late 356 B. Its principal change was disc brakes on all four wheels, standard on every model.

The 1600 C and 1600 SC replaced the earlier engines, both 1.6-litre pushrod flat-fours with a fully synchronised four-speed manual. The four-cam Carrera 2 was also listed in C form for 1964. The Roadster and the Karmann Hardtop were not continued, leaving the coupé and the cabriolet.

The 356 C was sold in North America through 1965, alongside the new 911. Its four-cylinder role then passed to the 912, which combined the 911 body with a 1.6-litre four derived from the 356’s engine. The last 356s were cabriolets built for the Dutch police in 1966.
