MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to offer a Teutonic favorite, a
1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa that has had the same owner for the past
32 years. Road & Track magazine called it "one of the best GTs in
the world, exotic cars notwithstanding. Its performance, handling,
looks, ride and quality are second-to-none..." This is a rare
model, with just over 3,600 examples made in 1979 and this
particular 911 is a european market spec car that benefits with
lighter weight and more torque than the NA market 911's. Finished
in striking black exterior, this car's new professional metallic
paint is in excellent condition as expected. This remarkable paint
job has a slight purple violet tint that reminds us of the
viola-metallic paint from 1993 Jahre 911's. The car's windows are
in overall very good condition, clear and intact. This Porsche's
lights, including its Hella headlights, are also clear and
haze-free. This wunderauto rolls on new Bridgestone tires,
195/60R15 in front and 215/60R15 in back, and surround Fuchs alloy
wheels that are painted charcoal gray and look great against the
black paint. All of the Porsche's body panels are straight and
solid and was a recipient of a window out quality respray,
including the removable targa top and the famous "Whale Tail" rear
wing. The engine bay is quite tidy under that whale tail and the
car's bumpers look great. Under that giant spoiler is a 3.0L
horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel
injection and buttoned to a five-speed manual transmission. Driver
convenience features include power brakes and heated side view
mirrors. Inside, the car's distinctive cork-colored interior is
very eye-catching. If you hold still after opening the doors, you
can hear the car's original clock still tick. The cloth and vinyl
bucket seats are in very good order while the back seat looks
equally fine and makes a great place to temporarily stash the targa
during a drive. The matching color carpet is in overall good
condition, as is the instrument panel with its VDO gauges but there
is a crack visible on the passenger side of the dash. The blower
motor switch is inoperable. A four-spoke steering wheel is present
and in good order, as are the car's inner door panels, mirror
glass, center console and shifter. Finishing off the interior is a
Sony AM/FM stereo with CD player. In 1978, Porsche introduced the
new version of the 911, called the '911SC'. Porsche reintroduced
the SC designation for the first time since the 356SC (as
distinguished from the race engined 356 Carrera). There was no
Carrera version of the 911SC. The "SC" stands for Super Carrera. It
featured a 3.0-liter aluminum engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel
injection and a 5-speed 915 transmission. In 1979, Porsche had
plans to replace the 911 with the new�928. Sales of the 911
remained so strong that Porsche revised its strategy and decided to
inject new life into the 911 editions. Competition to this Porsche
in 1979 included Chevrolet's Corvette, Ferrari's 308 GTS, Mazda's
RX-7, Mercedes-Benz's 450SL, Nissan's 280ZX and Porsche's own 928.
