3.0 Liter Air Cooled Flat Six Engine
Bosch K-Jetronic Electronic Injection
Five Speed Manual Transmission
Serial Number: 9118210544
Mileage: 148,748
In 1978, Porsche put previous 911 problems behind them with the introduction of the brilliant 3.0 liter 911SC (Super Carrera). Porsche now finally mated a body that was capable of lasting indefinitely with an engine that was capable of lasting nearly that long. Well maintained 911SCs are capable of 300,000 miles between rebuilds. Capable of accelerating from 0 – 60 mph in less than 7 sec. with a top speed of 146mph, It also has a 21.1 gal. fuel tank and will run on regular unleaded (87+ octane) fuel. The 911SC remains an excellent, surprisingly affordable choice for a first Porsche, or as a classic air cooled Porsche addition to one’s garage. - Hemmings
Finished in Guards Red with a tan interior, this SC Targa has been currently owned for over 20 years, purchased from the San Francisco area, driven and restored over the period since.
The body is solid, with no rust (other than some in the battery area). The body was stripped to bare metal and treated to a glass out respray (base/clear polyurethane) in Guards Red in 2005 and still shows very well. The exterior trim, Targa bar, windshield & backlight moldings, window moldings, door handles and other trim were powder coated in black. Having been driven & enjoyed since, there are now a few minor paint chips on the hood and front bumper , and a repainted area on the passenger side rear quarter (a minor garage incident), with one small paint chip visible.
The engine starts immediately, runs strong with no issues reported and is smoke free on cold start (see the video in the gallery). The type 915 transmission was completely rebuilt by Automotive Techniques in Novi, MI ~500 miles ago (receipt included). In late 2019, the current owner removed the engine and replaced the clutch and flywheel, starter, battery, seals, gaskets oil tubes (resolving most oil leaks); distributor, cap & rotor, spark plug wires, oil pressure sensor, injectors, exhaust gaskets, engine & transmission mounts, and more (~$1,000 in parts, receipts included ). The original 16 in. Fuchs wheels were refinished with centers repainted and rims polished, with new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires (replacing those shown in the photo gallery). The original A/C components, emissions air pump & plumbing, and rear glass moldings are included.
Upgrades and updates include a new air box pop off valve, Carrera chain tensioners, Turbo valve covers and Turbo tie rods, new sun visors, front seat covers, black carpet (original tan carpet included), door pockets, fitted dash top cover, front trunk carpet, hood seal, and a new Alpine stereo with rear speakers and Bluetooth. It will also get a new oil and filter change.
Other disclosures: The driver door stay needs to be repaired (opens/closes fine). The steering wheel is worn at the top and is being recovered with new leather.
In excellent overall condition, this restored classic air cooled 911 SC Targa runs & drives well, has been well maintained & improved, and is ready for enjoyment by its new owner.
