Seller's Introduction
duPont REGISTRY Live is proud to present this beautifully preserved 1979 Porsche 911 SC, finished in classic Mocha Brown over a Brown leather interior. This iconic air-cooled 911 shows just 15,477 miles and is powered by Porsche's legendary 3.0-liter flat-six, paired with a five-speed manual transaxle and rear-wheel drive. Further distinguished by a full engine rebuild completed in 2018, 16-inch Fuchs wheels with gold center caps, and a factory sunroof, this 911 SC captures the timeless character of Porsche's classic air-cooled era. The car is further distinguished by an extraordinary ownership history, with the previous owner purchasing it in 1981, when it was just two years old, and retaining it for the next 45 years.
Overview
The Porsche 911 SC represented a significant evolution of Porsche's legendary rear-engine sports car, combining the unmistakable silhouette of the classic 911 with the performance, durability, and everyday usability that would define the model's enduring reputation. Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter flat-six and paired with a five-speed manual transmission, the 911 SC offers the direct mechanical character and analog driving experience that have made air-cooled Porsche 911s enduring favorites among enthusiasts and collectors.
Finished in Mocha Brown, this example showcases the elegant proportions and unmistakable profile of the classic 911. A professional, glass out respray was completed in 2018 in the factory color. Signature 16-inch Fuchs wheels are fitted with distinctive gold-accented center caps, providing a period-inspired appearance that complements the rich exterior color. A factory sunroof adds an element of open-air enjoyment while preserving the clean lines of the coupe's iconic roofline.
The cabin continues the warm, classic specification with Brown leather upholstery throughout. A perforated Black headliner provides a tasteful contrast, while a Black steering wheel with a gold Porsche Crest adds a distinctive finishing touch to the driver-focused cockpit. The combination of rich brown materials and contrasting black and gold details creates an interior that feels both period-appropriate and uniquely specified.
Power comes from Porsche's naturally aspirated 3.0-liter flat-six, paired with a precise five-speed manual transaxle and rear-wheel drive. The engine received a full rebuild in 2018, adding important mechanical provenance to an already compelling example. The combination of air-cooled flat-six power, a manual gearbox, and Porsche's rear-engine layout delivers the unmistakable mechanical character that has defined the 911 for generations.
Showing just 15,477 miles, this 1979 Porsche 911 SC combines an exceptional 45-year ownership history with a distinctive Mocha Brown specification, 2018 factory-color respray, and 2018 engine rebuild. The 16-inch Fuchs wheels, sunroof, Brown leather interior, and extensive documentation further complement this well-preserved example of Porsche's classic air-cooled era. The sale includes three keys, workshop manuals, owner's booklets, a car cover, and the factory steering wheel.
Inspectors Notes: This is a very well-kept example of one of the most iconic and influential sports cars of all time. The engine in this car is very impressive and feels quite healthy. This car wears this deep shape of brown quite well. Not to mention, it comes with a generous amount of belongings, booklets, and paperwork.
