Porsche 911 SC Targa LHD Italian Registered
Matching Numbers
Genuine 63,330 km
Long-Term Italian Ownership
Dry Stored
A genuine, unrestored example of the highly respected 3.0-litre 911 SC, offered as a structurally sound, matching numbers car with excellent fundamentals and clear restoration upside.
This is the type of honest air-cooled Porsche enthusiasts actively seek correct, complete and full of potential.
The 911 SC (Super Carrera) was Porsche’s engineering reset and is widely considered one of the most robust classic 911s built.
3.0-litre air-cooled flat-six
Aluminium crankcase (stronger than earlier magnesium units)
Excellent torque and reliability
Known for longevity when maintained
The SC blends classic narrow-body 911 character with improved durability making it one of the best ownership propositions in air-cooled Porsche history.
SC production (1978–1983) totalled approx. 58,000 cars worldwide across all body styles. Targa versions were built in notably smaller numbers than coupes, giving them a distinctive place in the market today combining open-air driving with the iconic brushed stainless Targa bar.
This 1979 model represents an early SC with the pure impact-bumper aesthetic and the proven 3.0 platform.
Originally finished in Minerva Blue Metallic – Later repainted Guards Red
Owned by the same elderly gentleman in Italy since 1991
Matching numbers engine and chassis
A fundamentally solid car ideal for sympathetic restoration.
No rust reported

This is not a restored car it is an authentic, correct example with story, provenance and upside.
