With the bigger G50 gearbox (and changed rear axle/spring tubes) the 911 transformed officially from "SC" to "911 Carrera" from 1987 onwards. See as follows in this german registration paper of a 1984 Carrera:
#1 = initial approval date
#2 = car type
#3 = trade/trademark id
#4 = engine displacement in ccm
#5 = engine power in kW at rpm
So don't wonder when you see a ROW 911 Carrera named as an 911 SC in the street registration paperworks. This only means that it's a 911 with a tub from MY 1978-1986 with a 915 gearbox... otoh I don't know whether the german street registration regulations will be 1:1 applied to other countries like the US ...

Thomas, even more confusing. My 88 Carrera is registered in France with type 911SC32A. So the "SC" part still appears in later years and that created confusion when I had my car inspected for insurance. Because of the SC part the guy who did the inspection believed this was a 3.0 liter engine.
