This 1978 Porsche 911SC Targa is finished in Copper Brown Metallic over a Cork partial leather interior and is powered by a 3.0-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Additional equipment includes a removable roof panel, a Blaupunkt Stuttgart stereo, air conditioning, a front lip spoiler, rear stone guards, and 16″ Fuchs-style wheels. Service performed in October 2020 included resealing the gearbox, resurfacing the flywheel, and replacing the clutch assembly, rear main seal, warm-up regulator, and drive belts, while work performed in preparation for the sale included rebuilding the fuel distributor and mounting replacement tires.
The car left the factory finished in Copper Brown Metallic (Z6/443) and features a black removable roof panel, a front lip spoiler, and rear stone guards. The seller states that paintwork was performed under previous ownership and notes a dent above the right-rear taillight that was touched up.
Black-finished 16″ Fuchs-style wheels wear polished lips and are mounted with 205/55 front and 225/50 rear Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires showing 2020 date codes. The SC received fixed two-piston brake calipers paired with ventilated rotors.
The interior features Cork partial leather upholstery and the front seats wear contrasting striped cloth central inserts. Amenities include a Blaupunkt Stuttgart AM/FM cassette stereo, air conditioning, and power windows. The bearing for the steering column was replaced in October 2020, and the seller notes that a tear in the driver seat has been repaired.
A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of VDO instrumentation including a tachometer with a 6,250-rpm redline, a 150-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and combination gauges. The six-digit odometer shows 60k miles.
The air-cooled 3.0-liter flat-six was rated at 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque when new. Service performed in October 2020 by Gaswerks Garage in Paramus, New Jersey included fluid changes, rebuilding the cold-start valve, resealing the gearbox, resurfacing the flywheel, and replacing the clutch assembly, warm-up regulator, crankshaft seal, rear main seal, transmission input-shaft seals, transmission input-shaft seals, oil pressure switch and fittings, drive belts, and filters. The fuel distributor was rebuilt in June 2021 at Miller Motorcars in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle.
