Here's a really nice one from Vancouver (that'll save you the hassle of importing one from the US).

Here's the ad he sent me:

1978 Porsche 911SC:

BEAUTIFUL 1978 Silver / Black Porsche 911SC Coupe with 30,266 ORIGINAL kms
(18,765 miles). A couple of 911 enthusiasts tell me it's a Euro Spec
Coupe (factory lightweight and lowered, more H.P., dual fan control levers);
but my VIN reference says it's a U.S.A. Coupe. Either way, one would have to
search long and hard to find another 911 with this mileage.

Mechanically, it's in excellent shape. It has new tires (on 15' cookie
cutter alloy rims), new fuel pump and battery. Brakes and engine were very
recently checked and tuned. The car is bone stock and I am unaware of any
modifications or updates. It drives and handles like a new car and has no
noises or rattles except, of course, the purring of the 3.0L engine behind
you. The engine compartment is clean as is the underside.

The interior is excellent. The seats are cloth and leather or leatherette.
No visible wear on the seats or carpeting and the dash is in excellent
hape - no cracks or shrinkage and the gauges are crystal clear. All
electricals work as does the heat and heater/vent controls.

The paint has a few dings and scratches but it still looks good. Most of
the small scratches/dings occurred while in the previous owners' crowded
garage. I can email pictures of the flaws upon request. The PO didn't do a
very good job on some of the touch-ups. With a good repaint, this car will
be a 10! The struts that hold the front and rear trunk lids have lost their
charge as well.

It has dual power mirrors, headlight washers, intermittent wipers and an
(aftermarket?) power antenna. No A/C, no power windows, no power seats, no
sunroof and no fog lamps. Not many frills - just pure performance with the
looks to boot!!!

It has always been a Westcoast/B.C. car and summer-driven. Accident and
insurance claims reports came up clean when I bought the car. I have the
Air Care / smog check history, dating back to 1993 when they began in B.C.
(always tested well below allowable limits, in 1993 the odometer read 28k
kms!). I have the original owner's manual and warranty book as well; but
no other documentation. The PO didn't think records were necessary.....

One look at the car will show it is an original, very well maintained low,
low miler. A well-respected, local Porsche shop checked the car/engine for
me very recently and commented / confirmed its low mileage condition.

I can email pictures upon request and welcome and encourage viewing.
Available immediately and asking cdn$29K, negotiable.
