This 1979 Porsche 911SC coupe is a highly modified example, blending the timeless appeal of Porsche design with modern performance enhancements. At the heart of the car is a turbocharged 3.4L flat-six engine featuring a Garrett GT35R turbocharger, mated to a G50 five-speed manual transmission and a ZF limited-slip differential. This combination delivers thrilling power and precision handling, perfect for driving enthusiasts.
The car's suspension has been significantly upgraded with an Elephant Racing coilover setup, paired with 930-spec brake calipers, ensuring exceptional handling and stopping power. The body has undergone a stylish backdate, with a steel long hood, RSR-style fender flares, and a ducktail rear decklid that add an aggressive yet classic flair. The exterior was refinished in GT Silver Metallic between 2021 and 2022, complete with custom side graphics and bullet-style mirrors, giving the car a striking, modern look.
Inside, the cabin is outfitted with black leather upholstery and Recaro Classic LS seats, offering both comfort and support. The custom sound system features Apple CarPlay integration, while charcoal square-weave carpeting and RS-style door panels elevate the cabin’s aesthetic. A MOMO steering wheel with an NRG Innovations quick-release hub frames the rebuilt instrumentation, ensuring both functionality and style.
The 3.4L turbocharged engine underwent a complete rebuild by Turbo Kraft in 2023, with performance upgrades such as Mahle forged pistons, CP-Carillo connecting rods, and sport camshafts, ensuring top-tier performance. The G50 five-speed manual transmission was also rebuilt by California Motorsports, and the car benefits from a Billy Boat exhaust system paired with a MagnaFlow muffler, offering improved exhaust flow and a rich engine note.
This 1979 Porsche 911SC is a one-of-a-kind build, combining classic Porsche styling with cutting-edge performance upgrades for a driving experience that’s both thrilling and refined. It’s a standout example for any enthusiast looking to own a truly unique and powerful Porsche.
