The 1979 Porsche 911 SC (Super Carrera) represents a sweet spot in the classic 911 lineage, offering the raw, analog driving experience enthusiasts crave with improved reliability and usability over its predecessors. Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter flat-six engine producing 180 horsepower, the SC delivered smooth, torquey power through a robust 5-speed manual gearbox. Porsche’s decision to galvanize the chassis starting in 1976 paid off here—making the SC one of the most rust-resistant 911s of the era, contributing to its enduring legacy. With its iconic wide rear haunches, Fuchs wheels, and minimalist interior, the 911 SC carries the unmistakable DNA of an air-cooled classic. Whether cruising through mountain roads or parked at a weekend cars & coffee, the '79 SC blends timeless style, mechanical simplicity, and everyday drivability in a way few cars can match. This specimen benefits from a recent 5 year cosmetic restoration and has been maintained meticulously over it's 15 year ownership.

What this car offers

Wheels & Tyres: Original Fuchs forged alloy wheels, which were standard equipment for the model and are widely regarded as one of the most iconic wheel designs in automotive history. The car is fitted with 16-inch wheels, typically 6 inches wide in the front and 7 inches in the rear, offering a balanced and period-correct stance. Finished with black-painted centers and polished lips, the Fuchs wheels not only enhance the car’s classic aesthetic but also serve a functional purpose—their forged aluminum construction provides strength while keeping unsprung weight low, contributing to the precise handling and overall driving dynamics the 911 is known for.

It uses a dual-circuit braking system with floating single-piston calipers—a setup that was quite advanced for its time and provided strong, predictable stopping power.

It’s a system that rewards smooth, confident inputs and fits the analog driving experience of the car perfectly.
