The Porsche 911 SC, introduced in 1978, marked a significant evolution for the venerable sports car. Positioned as a more accessible and robust offering than the outgoing Carrera 3.0, the SC (Super Carrera) featured a detuned 3.0-liter flat-six engine, initially producing 180 horsepower. While not as overtly performance-focused as its turbocharged 930 sibling, the SC quickly garnered a reputation for its reliability, balanced handling, and classic 911 aesthetic. It became a cornerstone of the 911 lineup throughout its production run, with over 58,000 units built before being replaced by the Carrera 3.2 in 1984. The SC's enduring appeal lies in its purity as a driver's car, offering an unfiltered connection to the road and the iconic air-cooled experience. This 1978 Porsche 911 SC, however, transcends its original specification, having been radically reimagined into a formidable widebody machine. Beneath its aggressive M491-style flared arches, the traditional flat-six has been supplanted by a potent, water-cooled Donovan 350 V8, stroked to 409 cubic inches and delivering over 400 horsepower. This hybrid beast, described by the seller as a "930 Turbo killer," combines the timeless 911 silhouette with an entirely different breed of American muscle, all managed by a manual transmission. With 42,576 miles on the chassis and a recent precision tune-up, this unique convertible is turnkey ready for its next thrill-seeking owner. This is an opportunity to acquire a truly one-of-a-kind, high-performance Porsche that defies convention.
