This 1978 Porsche 911 3.0 SC is a solid example of the sophisticated modern classic sports car, presented in a timeless all-black colour combination and with a number of appealing cosmetic modifications, including a wide-body conversion. Under the rear engine lid is an air-cooled 3.0-litre flat-six, developing 180hp and sending it to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer displays 122,704 miles from new. The 911 SC or Super Carrera replaced the entry-level 911 and Carrera models in 1978 and was available until 1984. This example is finished in black with over a black leather-trimmed cabin. It rides on an aftermarket set of 18-inch split-rim Work alloy wheels, shod in Kuhmo tyres. The factory specification includes a sunroof, electrically operated windows, basic heating and ventilation, recoil bumpers, a cigarette lighter, a heated rear screen, and a rear wiper. Amongst the car’s various cosmetic modifications are a wide-body conversion, the fitment of a ‘Turbo’ engine lid/rear wing, lowered suspension, and the previously mentioned aftermarket Work alloy wheels. Inside, it features an aftermarket Momo steering wheel, a more modern Alpina radio/CD player with Bluetooth connectivity, non-standard door speakers, an aftermarket gear knob, and a non-original engraved brass plaque on the glovebox lid. The black paintwork is reported to have been resprayed and is described by the seller as being in generally good condition, showing light stone chipping on the front end and some small markings expected from a car of this age. There is also some general light ‘hazing’ around the vehicle. Inside, the cabin presents well, with some creasing on the black leather driver’s seat and some wear on the outer bolsters, light creasing on the passenger seat, and discolouration and scuffing around the ignition barrel, but with no major wear or discolouration. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. The seller states that this 911’s most recent service was an engine oil and filter change, which is reported to have been the only maintenance needed during the seller’s one year ownership of the car. This Porsche 911 SC is a head-turning example of the desirable modern classic sports car, which been given a far more purposeful look thanks to a wide-body conversion, lowered suspension, and a number of other modifications. Presented in good condition throughout, this highly usable example is ready to be driven, and will no doubt prove a fine companion for enthusiastic weekend drives, as well as visits to local cars and coffee events.
