One to Buy: Non-Sunroof Kiln Red 1983 Porsche 911 SC
/
Originally conceived as the last iteration of the normally aspirated 911 that Porsche expected to build, the SC went into production during August 1977 (for the 1978 model year) at which point it came with a 180bhp three-litre Flat 6.
However, before long the plan to scrap the 911 had been torn up and a 188bhp SC went into production for the 1980 model year. This was in turn followed by a 204bhp for the 1981 model year which stayed in production until 1983 at which point the long stroke 3.2-litre 911 Carrera was introduced.
The final year of SC production also marked the arrival of a highly anticipated Cabriolet variant to join the long-running Coupe and Targa body styles.
One such late production SC, chassis WPOZZ91ZDS100711, is currently on offer at the Dutton Garage showroom in Richmond, Victoria.
A particularly sought after and very rare non-sunroof Coupe, chassis ‘100711’ is a D-series ‘last-year-of-production’ SC that was configured in the quite possibly unique combination of Kiln Red with Berber upholstery and right-hand drive.
Delivered via Hamilton’s Porsche of South Yarra, this exceptional 911 SC has today covered a little over 128,000km and comes complete with a meticulously documented history from new.
