This Porsche 911 SC (Super Carrera) is a well-preserved example of the desirable modern classic sports car, which benefits from a previous engine rebuild, and has been fitted with a handful of well-considered upgrades. Under the rear engine lid sits a naturally aspirated 3.0-litre air-cooled flat six, producing around 150kW and driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows 102,470 miles from new. This original left-hand drive US-market example is now located in Australia, where it has been with the seller for one year. Introduced for the 1978 model year, the 911 SC or Super Carrera replaced the entry-level 911 and Carrera models, and was produced until 1984. This example is finished in a timeless shade of white over a black leather-trimmed interior, featuring perforated seat inserts. It rides on a set of 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels finished in gloss white with anodised lips, which are shod in Dunlop Direzza ZIII tyres. The factory specification includes bumper bellows, a three-spoke steering wheel, electric windows, a heated rear windscreen, heater and ventilation controls, an electric sunroof, cassette storage, and cruise control. This 911 SC features a flexible front chin spoiler, a ‘whale-tail’ rear spoiler, an aftermarket short-shift kit, and a Dansk stainless-steel exhaust system. A non-original Pioneer radio/cassette player has also been fitted. The car will be supplied with a spare wheel, two sets of keys, the owner’s manual, and a collection of maintenance and parts invoices. The white paintwork is believed to be original, and is reported to be in great overall condition, having just been paint corrected; though the seller notes minor stone chips around the car. There is also an imperfection on the front splitter, and minor chips on the edges of the doors. Moving inside, the cabin is presented in very good condition given the car’s age and usage. There are light signs of wear on the steering wheel, creasing on the front seats, small areas of stitching coming apart on the passenger seat base, and modest signs of use around the trim. There are also some marks on the headlining, which has been patched above the door openings, and the vinyl on the backs of the sun visors is slightly loose. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults with the car. This 911’s most recent maintenance was carried out at 102,465 miles by Prestige Mobile Servicing, which consisted of an engine oil and filter change, new air and fuel filters, spark plugs, the tappets adjusted, new front and rear brake calliper kits and pads, brake fluid, new front and rear braided brake lines, new Turbo tie rods, sway bar bushings, the fuel tank flushed, a new fuel pump, battery, airbox pop-off valve, front and rear gas struts, all new Dunlop Direzza ZIII tyres, and the Dansk stainless-steel 2-in-1-out sports exhaust with 75mm tip fitted. Major maintenance was carried out at 89,572 miles, which included the cylinder heads being replaced, the camshaft reground, a new timing chain and guides, the engine resealed, the flywheel resurfaced, a new clutch assembly, a new case stud on cylinder number four, a new chain tensioner, hydra stop kits installed, new brake lines, the right-hand inner CV joint boot replaced, the alternator rebuilt, a new fuel filter, a short-shift kit installed, the heat controls repaired, and the transmission fluid changed. This Porsche 911 SC is a smart example of the rewarding air-cooled modern classic sports car. Presented in very good overall condition, with an appealing colour scheme, a sonorous flat-six engine, and an engaging five-speed manual gearbox, it would make a fine addition to any assembly of modern classics, and a stylish and involving weekend toy, fair-weather cruiser, and car show companion.
