Seller's description

Porsche 911 SC Targa LHD Italian Registered Matching Numbers Genuine 63,330 km Long-Term Italian Ownership Dry Stored A genuine, unrestored example of the highly respected 3.0-litre 911 SC, offered as a structurally sound, matching numbers car with excellent fundamentals and clear restoration upside. This is the type of honest air-cooled Porsche enthusiasts actively seek correct, complete and full of potential. The 911 SC (Super Carrera) was Porsche’s engineering reset and is widely considered one of the most robust classic 911s built. 3.0-litre air-cooled flat-six Aluminium crankcase (stronger than earlier magnesium units) Excellent torque and reliability Known for longevity when maintained The SC blends classic narrow-body 911 character with improved durability making it one of the best ownership propositions in air-cooled Porsche history. SC production (1978–1983) totalled approx. 58,000 cars worldwide across all body styles. Targa versions were built in notably smaller numbers than coupes, giving them a distinctive place in the market today combining open-air driving with the iconic brushed stainless Targa bar. This 1979 model represents an early SC with the pure impact-bumper aesthetic and the proven 3.0 platform. Originally finished in Minerva Blue Metallic – Later repainted Guards Red Owned by the same elderly gentleman in Italy since 1991 Matching numbers engine and chassis A fundamentally solid car ideal for sympathetic restoration. No rust reported Straight and honest shell Excellent restoration base Guards Red repaint now tired. Would benefit from a full respray back to Minerva Blue a desirable and period-correct Porsche colour. The Interior is complete and original layout but cosmetic refurbishment required to return to factory presentation. The engine runs smoothly (Video available) but requires full recommissioning before road use. This is not a restored car it is an authentic, correct example with story, provenance and upside. Viewing with the owner in Italy Price excludes import duties and taxes. A genuine, matching numbers 1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa with long-term ownership, correct original colour and strong restoration potential. An excellent opportunity to acquire a solid, honest air-cooled 911 with significant upside once recommissioned. Serious enquiries invited.
