The Porsche 911 SC is one of the most beloved generations of the classic 911. As the successor to the iconic G-series models, the 3.0 SC combines the pure character of an air-cooled Porsche with exceptionally robust engineering and renowned reliability. Its charismatic flat-six engine, five-speed manual gearbox and timeless silhouette have made the 911 SC one of the most sought-after classic Porsche models. The Targa version adds the unique pleasure of open-air driving while preserving the unmistakable profile of the legendary 911.




This 1978 example is presented in an elegant Silver finish and represents an excellent opportunity for enthusiasts seeking an authentic air-cooled Porsche. The car remains in an honest, largely original condition and offers an ideal foundation for further enjoyment or restoration. The interior is predominantly original with normal signs of use, while the engine is in good, honest condition. Thanks to its originality, the highly desirable Targa body style and the dependable 3.0-litre flat-six engine, this Porsche offers numerous possibilities: it can be enjoyed as an authentic driver's car, personalised with a tasteful period-correct or old-school touch, or professionally restored into a high-quality classic with lasting collector appeal.
