This Porsche 911 SC is a stylish and tastefully modified example of the desirable modern classic sports car, which has been handsomely ‘backdated’ to early ‘F-model’ styling, and converted from a Targa to a Coupe. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.0-litre air-cooled flat-six, delivering around 150kW to the rear wheels via a desirable ‘915’ five-speed manual transmission. This right-hand drive 911 SC was originally a UK market car which was imported into Australia in 2009. The car was purchased by its current owner two years ago as an already ‘backdated’ F-model style example, which had been converted from a Targa to a Coupe body style and had also benefitted from both gearbox and engine rebuilds. Since the seller purchased the vehicle two years ago, they have replaced any parts which were worn or old, and performed a total mechanical overhaul. The odometer shows 141,069 miles from new. Please note: the vehicle is currently on a club registration, and will be sold unregistered. This 911 SC is now finished in the sophisticated hue of Glacier Blue over a black vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring attractive blue tartan cloth seat inserts. It rides on a set of 15-inch Fuchs-style alloy wheels with satin black recessed offset by silver ‘petal’ spokes and rims, which are fitted with semi-slick Pirelli P7 Corsa tyres. Equipment includes a green top-tinted windscreen, heater and ventilation controls, an Alcantara-trimmed Sparco steering wheel, electric windows, and a Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM) system with Bluetooth connectivity. Externally, this example now features redesigned front wings, new F-model-style front and rear bumpers, front wing horn grilles and indicator units, rear engine lid ‘Porsche’ lettering, removal of the side sills, period-style ‘bullet’ door mirrors, and chrome-plated window trims, door handles, windscreen surround, and engine lid slats. The exhaust, suspension, body, interior, and wheels are all noted as being non-original. The car will be supplied with a large selection of invoices for replacement parts, and a genuine Porsche tool kit, spare wheel, tyre pump, and jack. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the car has benefitted from a full bare metal re-spray and a conversion from Targa to Coupe, and backdated to F-model appearance. The interior has been fully re-trimmed with new carpets, roof liner, door cards, and seats. The vehicle’s most recent inspection of roadworthiness was conducted in January 2022, during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted. This 911’s latest service was carried out in October 2023 at 140,789 miles, when the engine oil, oil filter, and transmission oil were changed, and new iridium spark plugs were fitted. Prior to this, the car was serviced in February 2022 at 139,600 miles by the current owner. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the gearbox oil, the brake pads and discs, brake fluid, spark plugs, suspension system and bushes, the exhaust muffler with a stainless-steel Monti muffler, the fuel system, the fuel level sensor, auxiliary fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel pressure diaphragm, warm up regulator, and fuel injectors, as well as an intake and exhaust valve adjustment, a fuel tank flush and clean, and a fuel head overhaul. Prior to this, the car was serviced in March 2020 at 138,712miles by Art of Auto Engineering which comprised of a full engine and gearbox rebuild, and various restoration work, all of which is noted to be documented in the car’s accompanying invoices. The seller notes that since buying the vehicle, they have rebuilt it mechanically using new genuine Porsche parts or the best aftermarket items available. Work has included replacement of the suspension with Elephant Racing items, the brakes with cross-drilled discs, rebuilt factory callipers and ATE components, new hand brake assemblies and dust shrouds, all new wheel bearings, a rebuilt steering rack, a new exhaust and gaskets, new airbox gaskets and seals, a new and refurbished fuel injection system, and a new gear shifter and linkage. The pedal box was refurbished with new genuine bushes, a new clutch cable and return springs were fitted, and a new uprated alternator for the electric air conditioning system by Classic Retrofit in the UK. This Porsche 911 SC is a sophisticated and tastefully modified example of the desirable modern classic sports car, which is offered fresh from a thorough mechanical overhaul. Converted from a Targa to a Coupe and ‘backdated’ to early ‘F-model’ styling, it would now make a wonderful addition to any collection, and an exciting and engaging companion for weekend drives, longer scenic tours, and car show visits alike.
