1979 Porsche 911 SC

Among the last of the truly classic 911 models was the Super Carrera (SC).

A landmark car within the celebrated history of Porsche built between 1978 and 1983, devoid of the electronic gizmos that increasingly found their way into Porsche's throughout the 1980’s and beyond, the 911 SC delivered a true analogue experience.

The fastest naturally aspirated Porsche from 0-100kmh to hit the tarmac at the time, the 911 SC badge tells the enthusiast that the all alloy engine's displacement has been increased from 2.7 to 3.0 liters, there's a new oil-cooler hidden within the front fender and that its Thyssen zinc-coated galvanized bodyshell and use of high quality materials both inside and out will allow the 911 SC to endure the ravages of time, making it one of the most usable, enjoyable and collectable Porsche’s today.

With plenty of power and torque available early, the 3.0 litre 911 SC has a smooth, sweet revving character and a totally engaging drive. These engines were also much more reliable than the 2.7 litre flat-six they replaced.

We are excited to bring to market this superb example of an Australian delivered and numbers matching 1979 Porsche 911 SC Coupe that oozes cool presented in its original colour of Leicht Blau metallic over Black leatherette / Velour inserts.

Delivered through Chateau Moteur, Adelaide in November 1979 this 911 SC has travelled just 205,000 kilometres since new.

Today the car presents in excellent condition throughout, subject to an engine rebuild at 147,000kms in 1997, a gear box rebuild and major mechanical overhaul in 2022 with a Queensland based marque specialist and a recent sympathetic body and paintwork restoration in 2021 sparing no expense, this car is turn-key and ripe for its next owner.

More recently in 2024 it was with a Sydney based marque specialist where it had its braking system replaced.

To drive this car is on the button, with each gear change of its 915 transmission is smooth and precise, the motor pulls linear throughout the rev-range and under peak power, the motor sings as a Porsche flat-six should, which will put an ear-to-ear grin on anyone with a pulse.

In the corners defying all physics, the 911 way, the SC is poised with perfect balance, plenty of grip and pinpoint steering.

Always a fantastic place to sit, you are wrapped with the iconic drive dials with the central rev gauge. A place where any drivers enthusiast is at home. This Porsche 911 SC is an ownership experience everyone should partake in at least once in their life.
Addictively engaging, never ever boring, a unique colour combination, this 911 is the perfect example to just get out and drive.
