For Sale: 1994 Classic Motor Carriages 359

Central Classic Cars is proud to offer this rare and striking 1994 Classic Motor Carriages (CMC) 359—a unique blend of classic Porsche design and custom craftsmanship.

The CMC 359 draws inspiration from the iconic Porsche 356 Speedster silhouette, enhanced with styling cues from the legendary 959 Coupe, including distinctive headlights, slotted bumpers, and a rear wing. This fiberglass-bodied kit car was produced by Classic Motor Carriages, once one of the largest kit car manufacturers in the world.

Interior:
Inside, you’ll find sporty Porsche-style bucket seats paired with black carpeting, door panels, and dashboard. The cabin is driver-focused with a leather-wrapped three-spoke sports steering wheel, full VDO gauge cluster, AM/FM radio with cassette player, and a perfectly positioned shifter, ideal for light performance driving.

Performance & Mechanics:
Power comes from a 1600cc flat-four Volkswagen engine located under the rear deck, paired with a smooth-shifting 4-speed manual transmission. The lightweight fiberglass body combined with this engine delivers lively performance. Enhancements include a Weber Progressive Carburetor, dual port intake, doghouse oil cooler, and Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) for a comfortable and engaging ride.

The VW 1600cc engine is known for its simplicity, reliability, and affordability, with many genuine parts still readily available.

Condition:
This CMC 359 shows just 5,339 miles and is in good overall condition. Minor imperfections include some scuffs and scratches near the wheel lug holes, light paint swirling, and some cracking in the paint (see photos). The vehicle starts and runs smoothly with no abnormal vibrations or shaking.

A full service and inspection by a trusted third-party mechanic will be completed prior to sale, and a copy of the report will be provided to the buyer.
