This Porsche 911 SC (Super Carrera) is a handsome example of the sought-after modern classic air-cooled sports car, offered from long-term ownership, and enhanced with a few tasteful performance and cosmetic upgrades. Under the rear engine lid sits a naturally aspirated 3.0-litre air-cooled flat-six, delivering around 150kW to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows 239,045 Kms from new. This left-hand drive 911 SC was originally a German-delivered model. It was later imported to South Africa, where the seller purchased it in 2013, before being imported to the USA and later to Australia, where it has been with the seller and third owner for 10 years. The 911 SC (Super Carrera) was introduced in 1978 and replaced the entry-level 911 and Carrera models, remaining in production until 1984. This example is finished in a handsome shade of white with black ‘Carrera’ side decals, over black leatherette and patterned cloth upholstery, now featuring leather-trimmed front seats. It rides on a set of 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels finished in gloss black with polished lips, which are shod in Michelin Pilot Exalto tyres. The factory specification includes bumper bellows, a heated rear windscreen, a three-spoke steering wheel, heater and ventilation controls, electric windows, and an electric sunroof. This 911 SC now features a ‘ducktail’ rear engine lid, upgraded suspension with 930 Turbo torsion bars, 986-era Boxster front brakes, a Panasonic cassette stereo, and aftermarket door speakers. The original decklid without the ducktail is included in the sale. The car will be supplied with its owner’s manuals in a red plastic wallet, the stamped service booklet, two keys, the original air compressor, original tools in leather pouch, a spare wheel, and a collection of maintenance invoices and ownership documents. The seller notes previous stone damage on the left-hand door, which was repaired and resprayed. The white paintwork is reported to be in generally great condition, though the seller notes minor stone chips around the car. There are also blemishes on the front scuttle vent, and wear on the door handles. Inside, the cabin is presented in great shape overall given the car’s age and usage. There is creasing on the front seats, wear on the driver’s seat bolsters, a scratch on the passenger seat’s inner side bolster, and modest signs of use around the trim. The seller is not aware of any mechanical faults, though they do note that the headlights do not switch between low and high-beam.
