1979 Porsche 911 SC

KEY FACTS This 911 SC is a striking example of the versatile Targa model, subtly upgraded with Turbo-style wide steel arches and custom seats. An Australian-delivered matching-numbers car; it was originally delivered new to John Newwell Porsche Centre in Darlinghurst, Sydney, in January 1980. As a 1980 model year car, it is powered by a 3.0-litre aluminium air-cooled flat-six engine producing around 152kW (204bhp), which is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows an indicated 187,186 km, although the previous owner noted that the odometer has been repaired. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES The 911 is finished in Grand Prix White with a contrasting black Targa roll hoop and removable roof panel. The Front and rear of the car has been widened with steel arches. The interior has been retrimmed, with black vinyl and houndstooth fabric centre panels over deep-bolster sport seats, and the same treatment for the rear fold-down seats. It rides on replica 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels with matte black centres. Features include a leather-trimmed Momo steering wheel, heated rear screen, high-level brake light, rear lap belts, a bespoke Gulf livery-inspired ignition surround, a Kenwood CD radio head unit, Kicker component speakers, and electric windows.
