The best-selling desktop computer of all time returns – with a few new tricks.
C64C: Made From Original 1986 Tooling
The slimline Commodore 64C Ultimate is molded from the original injection tooling used to produce the classic case. Reacquired 40 years later, these historic molds carry the exacting character of the originals, including a period-correct 2-point flow pattern that creates the same subtle flow marks seen on thousands of vintage C64Cs. Today, the newly formed case marks serve as a seal of authenticity – the unmistakable signature of genuine parts born from original molds. Not a replica of the past, but literally shaped by it – so you can own an original slice of Commodore DNA. Real molds. Real nostalgia. Real goosebumps.
