This Porsche 911 SC is a vibrant and impressive example of the rewarding classic air-cooled sports car, offered for sale by its third owner from new and from long-term family ownership. 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. This original US-market example was purchased as part of the Tourist Automobile Shipping Program, which allowed the buyer to take delivery of the car in person in Germany before it was shipped to the US. This 911 SC is reported to have been in the seller’s family since the early 1990s, and has now been with the seller and third owner for nine years. The odometer shows 67,408 miles from new. 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 the vibrant shade of Guards Red over a black leather-trimmed interior, now featuring retrimmed front seats in black leather. It rides on a set of original 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels finished in matte black with anodised lips, shod in recently fitted Pirelli Cinturato P7 tyres. The factory specification includes an electric sunroof, a Blaupunkt cassette stereo, air conditioning, cruise control, an electric antenna, and electric windows. This example has been upgraded with a Griffiths Kuehl R134a air conditioning system and a Momo Prototipo steering wheel. The car comes with a space-saver spare wheel, two keys, the original steering wheel, the owner’s manuals and service booklet, the original state of origin, the original tool kit, window sticker, bill of sale, some original literature and importation documents, and various maintenance and historical documents from the past 15 years. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a bare-metal, windows-out respray was carried out in 2016, though the door jams, frunk and engine bay are reported to be original, and there are several minor stone chips. New Lloyds floor mats have been fitted, and the seatbelts were changed in 2017. The seller notes that the radio works as it should, but the cassette player is currently inoperative. The car’s last REGO test was conducted on 13 December 2022, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. The car’s most recent maintenance was carried out in January 2018 at around 67,000 miles by Automotive Techniques, which consisted of the shift bushings being replaced, the shifter throw adjusted, various new oil lines fitted, Carrera-era chain tensioners fitted, all the fluids replaced or topped-up as required, the fuel distributor adjusted, and various wiring issues rectified. Other notable maintenance includes the fitment of new brake pads and callipers, new rear shock absorbers, fuel injectors, sleeves and O-rings, as well as new front and rear lift struts, heat exchangers, exterior seals, and blower hoses fitted in 2015, new spark plugs and leads, rear axle gaskets and boots, and a new airbox with pop-off valve fitted in 2016, the front and rear seat belts replaced in 2017, the windscreen washer pump changed in 2019, the front seats retrimmed in 2019, and various new relays and other electrical items fitted between 2015 and 2018. This Porsche 911 SC is a vibrant and very well-presented example of the desirable classic air-cooled sports car, offered with three owners from new and from long-term family ownership. Presented with an iconic Guards Red finish, timeless G-model styling, a solid recent maintenance history, and boasting a lively flat-six engine coupled to an engaging five-speed manual gearbox, it would make an impressive addition to any collection of classics, and a rewarding companion for weekend drives, fair-weather touring, and visits to classic car shows alike.
