1978 Porsche 911 SC

This 1978 Porsche 911 SC Coupe stands out as a first-year example of the Super Carrera range, distinguished by its rare Copper Brown Metallic (443-93) exterior paired with a classic cork Beige/Tan interior—a combination described by the seller as particularly uncommon for this model. The 1978 model year marked the debut of the SC, which Porsche had originally intended to be the final iteration of the 911 line before strong demand extended production through 1983. Based on the Carrera 3 but detuned to 180 PS, the SC combined accessible performance with the widened bodywork previously reserved for range-topping models, creating a more muscular and capable daily driver. According to the seller, this G-Body coupe is a well-sorted, enthusiast-owned example that runs, drives, and handles fantastically.

According to the seller, this vehicle benefits from a fully rebuilt powertrain with several thoughtful enthusiast upgrades:

• Engine: 3.0L flat-six with 964 cams, open flow airbox, and oil fed chain tensioners—rebuilt approximately 4 years ago with roughly 10,000 miles since
• Transmission: Rebuilt 5-speed 915 manual
• Braking: Completely redone braking system
• Wheels & Tires: Group 4 wheels finished in bronze with fresh 2023 Kumho sport tires
• Exterior: 74 fiberglass ducktail accompanied by the included original decklid
• Interior: Momo Cavallino sport steering wheel with tan colored sport seats
• Included Original Parts: Original 7&8×15 Fuchs wheels, SC steering wheel, and original seats accompanying the sale
