The first year of the 911SC model finished in its factory color combination - Silver Metallic with a Black interior. Factory options include Electric Sunroof (650), US Standard Emissions (C02), Air Conditioning, and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio.

The paintwork is in beautiful condition, with excellent gaps and panel alignment, featuring 16" Fuch alloy rims, fog lights, and a one-year-only chrome trim package. The interior is exceptional, featuring recent leather-upholstered front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, VDO instrumentation, and a Blaupunkt radio. The air conditioning system was recently serviced with a new compressor and dryer, and it is blowing ice-cold air. The Fuchs alloy wheels are mounted to new Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02 - Max Performance Summer tires (205 55 R16 front, and 255 50 R16 rear). The undercarriage is all original, solid, and rust-free.

Originally delivered by Essex Sports Car, Inc (Porsche dealer) in Maplewood, New Jersey, to the first owner on March 8, 1978, and serviced at the same dealer from 1978 to 1992. Sold to the second owner in the early 2010's, who was also from New Jersey and later moved to Chapin, South Carolina in 2016. The 911SC was shown at the Porsche Club of America - Zone 1 Concours in 2015, scoring 293.40 out of 300, and again at the NNJR Porsche Club of America - Concours d'Elegance, scoring 224 out of 225 on May 2, 2015. In September of 2019, the engine and transmission were removed, and the engine was disassembled to replace the head studs along with the rear main seal. At the same time, a Mocal front oil cooler was installed to replace the front loop oil cooler, and the engine compartment sound pad was replaced. After the work was complete, a compression test was performed; the results were 175-180 psi across the cylinders, and the leak down was 2-3%, which is exceptional. In 2020, the 911SC was sold to the third owner in Santa Barbara, California, and was serviced by Schneider AutoHaus in Santa Barbara, California.
