This 1978 Porsche 911SC Targa is finished in black over matching upholstery and powered by a numbers-matching 3.0L flat-six mated to a five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a removable Targa roof, front fog lamps, 16″ Fuchs wheels, an aftermarket front sway bar, front sport seats, a Lecarra steering wheel, RS-style door panels, and air conditioning. The car was acquired by its current owner out of California in March 2021, and subsequent work has included servicing of the air conditioning system.
The car is finished in black and is said to have been repainted under prior ownership. Features include a black removable roof panel, dual side mirrors, and US-spec lighting and bumperettes.
Staggered-width 16” Fuchs wheels wear 205/55 front and 225/50 rear Dunlop Direzza Sport tires with 2009 date codes. The car is equipped with an aftermarket front sway bar, the bushings for which require replacement according to the seller.
The cabin features replacement front sport seats trimmed in black upholstery with matching carpets. Additional equipment includes air conditioning, hand-crank windows, RS-style door panels, and a Sony CD stereo with USB and auxiliary inputs.
The Lecarra steering wheel fronts a 150-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,300-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 139k miles.
The air-cooled 3.0L flat-six was factory-rated at 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque when new. The head studs were re-torqued and the valves were adjusted when the valve covers were replaced in 2015, and work since November 2020 has included installation of an MSD digital ignition control unit, replacement of the ignition wires, distributor cap, and rotor, and an R134a-refrigerant conversion for the air conditioning system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed 915 manual transaxle.
