The Standout

Produced from 1978 to 1983, the Porsche 911 SC is often considered one of the most refined versions of the classic air-cooled generation. Powered by a robust 3.0-liter flat-six and Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, it combines performance, reliability, and authentic driving feel.

Thanks to its generous torque, communicative steering, and iconic architecture, the 911 SC remains one of the most cherished classic Porsches among enthusiasts and collectors alike.

This 1978 example stands out with its Lapis Blue presentation, a Porsche color that appeared well after the 911 SC's production ended and was applied during its restoration. Combined with a black leather interior and 15-inch Fuchs wheels, this configuration gives it a distinctive character while respecting the spirit of the model.

According to the seller, the car underwent a complete restoration including bodywork, paint, interior, and mechanical components. It is accompanied by comprehensive documentation including maintenance and restoration invoices, the original Porsche service booklet, and several expert reports.

This 911 SC appears to be an interesting proposition for the classic Porsche enthusiast seeking a well-restored and thoroughly documented example.
