OVERVIEW
This 1979 Porsche 911SC (Super Carrera) cabriolet conversion receives power from a rebuilt 3.0-liter flat-six mated to a five-speed manual transaxle. It comes with fog lamps, a spoiler, TECHART 18-inch wheels, a Grant steering wheel, and a modern audio system. Finished in black and equipped with a black cloth retractable top over a black leather interior, this 911SC is now offered with a clear title.
EXTERIOR – FEATURES
The black exterior has the wider body of the 911 Carrera and features body-color headlight rings, fog lamps, a black cloth soft top with a plastic rear window, a "whale tail" spoiler, and rear bumperettes. There are paint chips noted by the seller on the front bumper.
EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES
TECHART 18-inch six-spoke aluminum wheels are wrapped in 255/35 Z-rated tires.
INTERIOR – FEATURES
The two-passenger cabin is fitted with black leather high-back bucket seats, matched to the door panels, dash, and carpeting. Features include a Grant carbon fiber-look steering wheel, a heater, and an AM/FM/CD radio. The front storage compartment contains a compact spare tire. Although air conditioning is equipped, the belt for the system has been removed.
INTERIOR – GAUGES
VDO-branded instrumentation includes a 150-mph speedometer, a 7,000-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for the fuel level, oil pressure, and more. The six-digit mechanical odometer reads 156,446 miles, which the seller states is a true reading.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The rear-mounted, fuel-injected 3.0-liter flat-six produced 172 horsepower and 189 lb-ft of torque when new. It was rebuilt under prior ownership and has reportedly been driven less than 100 miles since that time. An oil change was performed in September 2023. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a floor-shifted five-speed manual transaxle.
UNDERCARRIAGE
Stopping is performed by power disc brakes.

Was this car originally a coupe or targa? Is the widebody conversion done to the same specs as the factory turbo car dimensions? For example, would the front fenders interchange with factory turbo front fenders, etc.? Is this an original black on black car? Do you have any underside photos? Any rust repair done to the car? Any leaks? Thank you, Mike

@HarlanN – I've owned a 911SC, trip black Porsche with the flared rear quarter panels (first introduced in the mid-70s and made even more flared for the turbo models) and it was stock steel from the factory. The lines on the front trunk look like reflections as the black finish on the hood is like a mirror. The gap you see in the front hood fit may be caused by a loosening of the front latch to accommodate a Porsche bra (to protect against road chips),which I used on my 911SC. To tighten the fit is an easy adjustment of the front latch bolt. Installing the AC belt is also a simple thing to do. It's possible the AC unit needs to be recharged. Check that the AC seals are intact (if the AC is not engaged periodically the seals dry and cause gaps to form allowing the coolant to leak out) this happened to mine. As far as the tail/tray, the "ducktail", then referred to as the "whaletail" has had many variations. Later models had a more "tray" like tail, but they are all grouped (except the original "ducktail") together as "whaletails". At the current bid of just over 20K, this is about 1/2 the true value. I enjoyed mine as a "drive as much as I liked" Porsche and she handled beautifully. The mileage of 156K is reasonable for a 1979 model, which averages out to just over 3,400mpy. ...
Thank you for the below, if you’re interested in the vehicle just let me know thanks
