This Porsche 911 SC is a desirable classic sports car, offered from long-term ownership and enhanced by a number of driver-focused modifications. It is powered by a top-end rebuilt and numbers-matching 3.0-litre straight-six, coupled to a retrofitted five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The odometer currently displays 52,198km, however this is not warranted. Originally delivered to Hong Kong, the car was imported into Australia in 1989, where it was backdated to ‘long hood’ specification. It has now been with the seller for the last eight years. This 911 SC was originally specified with Silver Metallic paintwork, the Sportomatic gearbox, impact absorbing bumpers, black interior trim, air conditioning, power locking luggage and electric windows. In 2015, the car was backdated to ‘long hood’ specification, comprising the fitment of Dansk front steel guards, fibreglass bumpers and a matching bonnet, along with a bare-metal respray to the more contemporary Porsche hue of GT Silver. However, the vehicle retains its original shut panel to allow the use of the factory SC bonnet if desired. It rides on a set of 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, and the suspension has been upgraded with a Rebel Racing (RSR) front bushing set, uprated SwayAway torsion bars and Bilstein Sport shock absorbers. The Sportomatic gearbox was replaced with a five-speed manual for a more involving driving experience. The engine head has been rebuilt to 1983 911 SC specification, also featuring SSI headers and a Dansk RS muffler. Inside, the cabin has been fitted with Cobra Stuttgart front seats on Recaro sliders with custom houndstooth centre panels, RS style carpets, a bolt-in roll cage, a 993 front strut brace, Wevo shift kit and rear seat delete. A spare key will be included in the sale. There has been no known bodywork damage. Overall, the resprayed GT Silver paintwork presents very well indeed, and only a few very minor blemishes can be seen near the driver’s side jacking point and rear bumper. Inside, the re-trimmed seats are free of any major wear, and the roof liner and door cards have been replaced. The carpets have been re-trimmed around the roll cage, and now present with a few age-related marks. A small crack has been repaired in the dashboard. The air conditioning and blower systems have been removed for weight reduction purposes, but the heater is still available via both passenger and driver vents. The HVAC controls have been disconnected. A minor oil leak has been detected. This 911 SC’s most recent service was carried out in April 2021 at an indicated 52,000 km, when technicians replaced the engine oil and the front and rear brake seals. The engine oil and transmission mounts were replaced in April 2020. This Porsche 911 SC is a charming classic sports car, which has been backdated to ‘long hood’ specification and fitted with a raft of desirable upgrades. Previously resprayed and boasting a retrimmed interior, this 1970s 911 is offered in impressive cosmetic order, and would make a fine addition to any collector’s garage, as well as an exciting and engaging companion for spirited weekend drives.
