Background

Introduced in 1977, the Porsche 911 SC 3.0 (where SC stands for Super Carrera) features a wider body than the classic Carrera. This particular model benefited from a major upgrade in 1980. By increasing the compression ratio from 8.6 to 9.8:1, the engine's power output increases from 180 to 204 hp. The car's performance is very brilliant, with a 0-60 mph sprint in less than 7 seconds and a top speed of 146 mph. Improvements also affect the bodywork, now fully hot dip galvanized and guaranteed against corrosion for seven years.

Background

Introduced in 1977, the Porsche 911 SC 3.0 (where SC stands for Super Carrera) features a wider body than the classic Carrera. This particular model benefited from a major upgrade in 1980. By increasing the compression ratio from 8.6 to 9.8:1, the engine's power output increases from 180 to 204 hp. The car's performance is very brilliant, with a 0-60 mph sprint in less than 7 seconds and a top speed of 146 mph. Improvements also affect the bodywork, now fully hot dip galvanized and guaranteed against corrosion for seven years.

Overview

Identified by chassis number WPOZZZ91ZCS101477 and first registered in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1982, this classic 911 belongs to the updated series of the Super Carrera model. This means that the car is equipped with the more powerful 204 hp engine and has side flashers on the front fenders. The odometer signs 84.657 miles. As evidenced by the pictures, the 911 is equipped with Turbo Look bodywork, an option requested by the owner from the company when ordering the car.

Exterior

Finished in Moosgruen Metallic, an elegant metallic moss green, the body is in excellent condition. The paint is glossy and shiny and with no imperfections. All the parts between the moving and fixed panels of the body are perfectly in line. The rubber parts, from the edge of the typical rear wing tray to the bumper profiles, look as good as new. Also in excellent condition are the classic Fuchs wheels, painted in the same colour as the body. Also perfectly intact are all the windows and headlights, both front and rear, as well as the turn signals. The "Carrera" inscription affixed to the engine hood cover is incorrect, as in the period from 1978 to 1983 these models were not produced. In its place should be affixed the original "911 SC" logo.

Interior

Considering the car's age, the tobacco-coloured interior is in more than good condition. The leather covering the seats shows no obvious signs of wear. The dashboard is completely intact and all the onboard services buttons are also intact. The sky of the cockpit is well-stretched and perfectly intact, as are all the carpeted parts. The leather of the three-spoke sports steering wheel does not show obvious signs of wear either. The gear knob is nonconforming, but the original comes with the car.

Mechanical

The engine compartment is very neat and tidy. It is well protected by the anti-rumble and free of rust. The underbody is also in order: the only noticeable defect is a slight oil ooze from the gearbox. According to the information we have, the car is running. However, the 911 has been stored in a dry-heated private museum for the last few years. For this reason, it would require a general verification before being used for long distances.

History

Owned by the first owner for 18 years, the 911 was purchased new at the Porsche dealership in Oulevay in 1982 and registered the same year in Lausanne, Switzerland. During the car's regular period of use routine and extraordinary maintenance was taken care of by the Porsche centre in Oulevay. As mentioned above, the car was stored in a private museum. Extensive documentation shows the past verification and some mechanical work done over the years. The car also comes with an original tool bag.

Summary

Among classic Porsche 911s with air-cooled engines, the model with absorbing aluminium bumpers is today one of the most prized by collectors, especially when paired with a big and powerful engine, as is the case with this 911 3.0 SC. The original factory Turbo Look body kit with widened rear flanks and the large tray wing (typical features of the model with the turbocharged engine) give the exterior an even sportier look, making this car a true icon of the 1980s.

Estimate for this Porsche 911 3.0 SC: € 60.000 - € 80.000.
