    1978 Porsche 911SC

    1978 Porsche 911SC; US option delete car originally sold by Jack Daniels Porsche/Audi, Fairlawn, NJ; India Red/Black Leatherette; 45k orig. documented miles. This is a rather unique SC in that it is a US market car that was specially ordered with virtually no options: no sunroof, no A/C, no auto heat, no power windows, no power seats, no rear seat belts, no cruise control, no fog lamps, no RH mirror and no power antenna. The only factory options on the car are the three-spoke, leather-wrapped steering wheel, Bilstein sport dampers, engine lid lamp, AM/FM Blaupunkt stereo without cassette (a $400 option in 1978!), two rear speakers and black anodized window trim. While the car was originally sold with cookie cutter wheels, proper 16 x 6&7” Fuchs are now installed and the suspension has been properly lowered to Euro. ride height. Due to its low weight (approx. 2450lbs. w/o gas), this is an extremely quick and responsive SC. Only after you drive a normally equipped US market SC or Carrera do you realize just how special this car is.
    All original books/accessories including owner’s manual, warranty booklet, Protect-O-Plate, Blaupunkt radio booklet, vinyl pouch for manuals, antenna key (in the original Hirschmann bag), touch-up paint stick, tool kit, electric tire pump, plastic gloves for tire changing and large plastic bag for flat tire storage are present. The car has had over $5400 in work completed by Dan Jacobs and European Performance Engineering including Carrera pressure fed tensioners, head studs, updated clutch, pop-off valve and new brake calipers. Currently, H4’s with color-keyed rims are fitted but original headlamps and rims are included. 3M clear protective film has been installed on the hood, front bumper, front valence and the rear view mirror. Everything works including the clock. Orig. paint/interior are 9/10. Absolutely no rust or accidents. Never tracked, autocrossed or driven in winter and hardly ever in rain. I’m the fourth owner; none of the owners have ever used this car as their primary means of transportation. This has always been a “hobby” car. Stored in my climate controlled garage and always protected with flannel cover. Fanatically maintained. Engine, trans., clutch, brakes and all other systems perform flawlessly. This is a NO EXCUSES car that needs NOTHING. I’m a 20 yr. PCA member but it’s time to thin out the herd. $19,990 firm. Photos at:

    Very Nice...

    That is one attractive SC.

    It's a real shame I can't make any moves on it, as I really like the "zero option" setup! In a perfect world, that car would 've been on a truck heading my way last week!

    Best of luck with the sale.

    Cheers
    Thom

    Thanks, Thom. Lots of mixed feelings about selling this car. Problem is the toys are starting to own me rather than the other way around.
