1978 Porsche 911 SC Targa

1978 Porsche 911 SC Targa | Petrol Blue Metallic | 3.0L Air-Cooled Flat-Six | 5-Speed Manual | Under 55,000 Original Miles
A well-preserved and highly original example of the iconic air-cooled Porsche 911, this 1978 911 SC Targa presents a rare opportunity for the collector or enthusiast seeking originality, provenance, and exceptional condition.
Powered by Porsche's legendary 3.0-liter air-cooled flat-six paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this Targa delivers the engaging driving experience that has made the early air-cooled 911's so desirable. Perhaps most compelling is the car's exceptionally low original mileage - under 55,000 miles.
Finished in striking Petrol Blue Metallic, the exterior retains its original paint and does show imperfections and chipping from normal driving conditions. Close up pictures detail imperfections and other blemishes around the body of the car. The stainless-steel Targa bar complements the distinctive body color, while the original black folding Targa top remains in excellent condition.
Inside, the car retains its original Porsche tartan plaid interior, an especially desirable and distinctive feature. The original dashboard, carpets, and leather trim are all in excellent condition, reflecting the care this Porsche has received throughout its life. The original Blaupunkt radio model # CR4096 is operational and the car is equipped with a DIGI-Guard vehicle security system. 16 Fuchs wheels with black centers are mounted with staggered-width General G-Max tires.
This 911 was purchased from the original owner in 2021 and has remained garaged since. It has continued to receive servicing from the original mechanic (contact information is available), providing an appealing history of consistent care and maintenance. The car was originally purchased through Stammler Porsche Audi in Boulder, Colorado and is accident free. The original air conditioning system is present and functional in terms of the blower, which operates at all three speeds; however, the system currently does not blow cold.
With its low original mileage, original paint, original tartan interior, desirable Petrol Blue Metallic finish, 3.0-liter air-cooled flat-six, 5-speed manual transmission, and documented ownership history, this 911 Targa stands apart from the increasingly common restored and modified examples. A wonderful opportunity to acquire an exceptionally original late-1970s Porsche 911 with the character that collectors appreciate.
