The Porsche 911 SC, produced from 1978 to 1983, represented a significant evolution in the long-running 911 lineage. Following the Carrera 3.0, the SC — standing for "Super Carrera" — was initially intended to be the last of the 911 series, with Porsche looking towards the 928 as its successor. Public demand, however, ensured the 911's survival. The SC models were celebrated for their robust 3.0-liter flat-six engine, which, in its later iterations, produced 180 horsepower, offering a blend of performance and everyday usability. These cars are particularly cherished today for their classic G-series styling, unassisted steering, and the engaging, analog driving experience that defines the air-cooled era. This 1979 911 SC takes a radical departure from its origins, having undergone a comprehensive custom build. With a mere 10,000 miles on the chassis, this coupe now houses a modern, fuel-injected LS V8 engine with a forged bottom end, promising significantly more power and torque than its original flat-six. Power is delivered through the factory 915 5-speed transaxle. The meticulous conversion includes a relocated fuel tank and a new radiator and condenser kit from Hybrids in Las Vegas. Stopping power is dramatically upgraded with a full Wilwood racing brake kit, complemented by a front strut tower brace and 17-inch BBS wheels wrapped in Sumitomo tires. This striking black build is described as running and driving, needing only interior finishing touches to suit a new owner's preference, making it a truly unique, head-turning custom 911. This is an opportunity to acquire a thoroughly re-imagined air-cooled icon, blending classic aesthetics with formidable modern performance.
