The 911SC, or "Super Carrera," arrived in 1978 as Porsche streamlined its 911 lineup, consolidating the Carrera and base 911 into a single, more potent model. Designed for greater accessibility and robustness, the SC featured a 3.0-liter flat-six engine, initially producing 180 horsepower, a significant bump from its predecessors, and a five-speed manual transmission. It quickly became known for its blend of everyday usability and quintessential air-cooled driving dynamics, cementing its place as a cornerstone of the 911 lineage before the arrival of the Carrera 3.2. Its production run, spanning from 1978 to 1983, saw over 58,000 units built, making it one of the most successful generations of the classic 911. This 1979 Porsche 911SC Coupe, a testament to the model's enduring appeal, is presented with matching numbers, affirming its originality. While it began its life in the classic Silver Metallic (936), it now wears a striking Metallic Burgundy repaint, a sophisticated hue that perfectly complements the 911's iconic lines. The black interior remains a timeless pairing, offering a focused and inviting cabin for the enthusiast. Having spent its life as a California car, this SC benefits from a favorable climate, contributing to its well-preserved condition. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a numbers-matching example of a beloved air-cooled icon.
