Preserved 1978 911 SC Coupe

This low mile all original and preserved 911 SC Sunroof Coupe has just the right amount of patina and use. Bitter Chocolate with Cork interior. Amazing all original 1978 Porsche 911SC. Only 57,800 miles, beautiful paint (slight oxidation on roof), interior, and drive train in outstanding condition. The 3.0 liter engine is very tight, and the 5 speed manual is smooth shifting. Power windows and mirrors, power sun roof, headlamp washers, leather seats, fog lights, etc.

ZERO Oil Leaks!

Compression Readings 125-125-125-125-125-130

Carrera Cam Chain Tensioner Upgrade
H4 headlight conversion
Newer tires, Toyo Proxes (look like Dunlop SP 9000 series tires)
Original Alloy Fuchs with Porsche badge

Includes ALL the original equipment, including:
- Unused complete original first aid Kit
- Factory bag with fan belt, and plastic piece to lay on when working on the car in emergency.
- Space Saver Spare and Air Compressor
- Tool Kit
- Manuals


The Lowdown

Brakes are stock spec and have plenty of life left.

Oxidation on roof would probably buff out easily but I prefer not go
down the slippery slope of unnecessary restoration.

The early SCs had the deep pile carpet and it is not stained and
still looks new. While the dash is remarkable, not cracked of course
but not even faded. All knobs and dials are bright.

Only mechanical modification is the car was lowered to European Ride
Height by previous caretaker. Electronic modifications include a
modern stereo but no extra holes were cut for speakers, would be easy
to plop in a period correct blaupunkt. I liked the sound so did not
change back. There is also an aftermarket alarm. Both would be easy to
remove in a few hours if so obliged.

Transmission shifts wonderfully. A great 901. No synchro issues at all.

Zero rust. No accident damage.

I drive the car on nice days. Done plenty of drives up to the
mountains. Even participated in a few PCA driver's ed events and the
car performed very well. No overheating at all. Instructor didn't even
want to drive the car as he said it was too nice to track.

Headliner is white and is good shape. Minor, minor tear less than a
quarter inch in sunroof was glued by previous owner. Correct white on
one side, black on the other sunvisors are nice, too. Not all puffy
and crunchy.

I have the car serviced at Storz garage in Denver so Mike and Bob
know the car well and can talk about its condition or I welcome a PPI
at another shop.

Check out the link to about 75 photos. These should answer any
questions you might have.

Did I mention that the owner of the vehicle from 1988-1999 (miles 14,660-31,829) documented every tank of gas purchased including date and cost per tank/gallon! The book also includes every lubrication, repair, tire rotate and misc. stuff. This guy was meticulous and the owner for the majority of this fine auto's life on the road. That's pedigree.

I would like to thank another Pelican for correcting my ad. The original, stock transmission in this 911SC is the 915..not the 901. Thank you!

Just back from a wonderful long weekend in Aspen. Took the SC over Independence Pass, a true drivers road.

Will trade for a fully paid Lion hunt in Zambia. Any Professional Hunters out there want to make a deal?
