This Porsche 911 SC is a stylish and engaging modern classic sports car, which was extensively rebuilt in the 1990s into an attention-grabbing open-top 964-era Turbo evocation. Under the rear engine lid sits a highly upgraded 3.0-litre naturally aspirated twin-spark flat-six, delivering around 157kW to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This example started life as a US-delivered 1978 911 SC model, which underwent its extensive rebuild in the 1990s, before it was imported and first registered in Australia in around January 1999. The car has only recently been acquired by the seller. The odometer shows 103,962 Kms. This 911 SC was transformed into an eye-catching open-top 964-generation Turbo evocation, which included the original coupe model being professionally converted into a right-hand drive cabriolet, and the fitment of sheet steel 3.2 Turbo-style front and rear wheel arches, which were genuine Porsche components welded to various locations in accordance with Porsche instructions, and all engineering approval was subjected to an official conversion assessment. Further bodywork modifications included the removal of the rear seats, a custom Speedster-style double roll bar setup fitted to the rear cabin, a widened track with larger wheels configured to fit the widebody conversion, the fitment of 964-era Turbo front and rear bumpers, the front fog lights replaced with RS-style air ducts, a 964-era ‘whale tail’ rear spoiler being fitted, and a genuine Porsche convertible roof being installed. This example is now finished in the stylish shade of Midnight Blue with a black convertible roof, over a black leather-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 18-inch Porsche Cup Kerscher Speedline five-spoke split-rim alloy wheels finished in silver with polished barrels, and fitted with Falken Ziex tyres. Equipment includes a four-spoke steering wheel, white dials, a Kenwood stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, USB and auxiliary inputs, air conditioning, and electric windows. Further upgrades include Rockford Fosgate speakers with a hidden under-seat subwoofer, a high-compression 3.0-litre flat-six engine, a sports cam, a twin-spark setup with coil packs, an EFI conversion, a ceramic-coated exhaust system, and a high-torque starter motor.
