The 911 SC (Super Carrera) was produced from 1978 to 1983 and was the last 911 to be offered without any “Carrera” badging or packaging. Much like the last Porsche to bear the SC name, the ’64/’65 356 SC, the 911 SC was set to serve a similar purpose—to phase the model out.
By 1980, Porsche had delayed what felt like the inevitable for far too long. But, when the German Auto Haus appointed their first American born CEO, Peter Schutz in 1981, he did not agree with the decision to solely focus on front engine models. The story goes as follows…Schutz walked into the design room, picked up a pen and right in front of the designers themselves, drew the next decade of the 911. Left dumbfounded, the entire company fell in line and the 911 would live to see many more birthdays.
Photographed above, this 1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet has been well-cared for/documented throughout its life and benefitted from a full engine rebuild at 56k miles.
