1978 Porsche 911SC

This 1978 Porsche 911SC coupe was first sold in the United States and later imported to Canada, and it was modified in the style of a 1973 Carrera RS lightweight model as part of a two-year build process that culminated in 2018. The body was stripped and fitted with a longnose hood, a ducktail spoiler, and replacement bumpers, fenders, and flares prior to a repaint in black with yellow graphics. Power is provided by a 3.0-liter flat-six that was fitted with an advanced-curve distributor, a 964-style camshaft, 46mm PMO carburetors, an MSD ignition module and coil, replacement pistons and cylinders, a Patrick Motorsports RSR muffler, and SSI heat exchangers as part of the build. The car is also equipped with a Type 915 five-speed manual transaxle, H4 headlight assemblies, Cibie auxiliary lights, 911 Turbo-specification 26mm rear torsion bars, Fifteen52 15″ wheels, a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, a refurbished 1973 911-sourced dashboard, replacement VDO instrumentation, a pair of white-dial stopwatches, Coco floor mats, black leather-trimmed sport seats with yellow and black plaid inserts, and a WEVO shifter with a wooden Porsche 917-style shift knob. This backdated 911SC coupe is offered by the selling dealer in British Columbia, Canada with build photos and British Columbia registration. The body was stripped to bare metal, fitted with a longnose hood, a 1973-style front fascia, metal fenders and RS-style rear flares, and a Getty fiberglass ducktail spoiler and bumpers as part of the aforementioned build. It was subsequently refinished in black with yellow graphics on the decklid and sides, and additional details include H4 headlight assemblies, Cibie auxiliary lights, dual mirrors, rear bumperettes, and a pair of exhaust outlets along with a replacement windshield, seals, and lenses. The car is not equipped with a sunroof, and the selling dealer states that clear paint protection film was applied to the exterior in December 2018. Fifteen52 15″ wheels were mounted with 195/65 front and 225/60 rear Vredestein Sportrac 5 tires under current ownership. The selling dealer states that suspension components were sandblasted and powder-coated as part of the refurbishment, which is also said to have included installing replacement bushings and 911 Turbo-specification 26mm rear torsion bars as well as fitting the power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes with replacement calipers, pads, and rotors. The sport seats are trimmed in black leather with black and yellow plaid, and the selling dealer notes that replacement carpeting and vinyl has been fitted throughout the cabin. A pair of white-dial stopwatches are affixed to the refurbished 1973 911-sourced dashboard, and additional interior details include a replacement headliner, a WEVO shifter with a wooden Porsche 917-style shift knob, and Coco floor mats. A MOMO Prototipo steering wheel is situated ahead of replacement VDO instrumentation including a 300-km/h speedometer, a central tachometer, a quartz clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows 1,400 kilometers (~900 miles), approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The 3.0-liter flat-six has reportedly been fitted with an advanced-curve distributor, a 964-style camshaft, an MSD ignition module and coil, and 9.5:1 pistons and cylinders along with 46mm PMO carburetors, a Patrick Motorsports RSR muffler, SSI heat exchangers, and replacement seals, hoses, and lines. Additional refurbishment work is said to have included cleaning the oil cooler, replacing the fuel tank and hood struts, and overhauling the oil tank, fan, fan housing, and various engine components. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Type 915 five-speed manual transaxle. Photos illustrating various stages of the build are presented in the gallery below. The vehicle is being sold on its British Columbia registration, which serves as the ownership document in British Columbia, Canada. The sale does not include a title.
