Presented in its original color combination of Medium Ivory (Color Code 132) over Cashmere upholstery. Factory options include an electric sunroof, U.S. standard emissions, air conditioning, and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio. The paintwork is original and in beautiful condition with excellent gaps and panel alignment. The exterior is complemented by fog lights and 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels. The original interior is exceptional, featuring Cashmere upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, VDO instrumentation, and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio. The Fuchs alloy wheels are mounted with BF Goodrich Advantage Control 205 55R16 front and 255 50R16 rear tires. The undercarriage remains in exceptional condition, well-preserved, solid, rust-free, and retains the original cosmoline. According to the original Warranty & Service booklet, this 911 SC was sold new by Anderson/Behel Porsche Audi of Santa Clara, California, on April 28, 1978, to Emperor Norton's Pizza of San Jose, California. Dealer service stamps document maintenance from new through 1983, when the 911 had 27,276 miles. A 1979 letter from Porsche on file lists the second owner and references emissions warranty-related claims, further supporting the 911's early history. Subsequent records show continued care by Porsche independent specialists in Tucson, Arizona, with receipts dating from 1996 to the present. On October 31, 2022, at 78,209 miles, Group One Motorwerks performed an oil and filter service, replaced the oil supply line, valve cover gaskets, CV boots, fuel lines, and installed a late-style fuel pump. On March 10, 2026, at 79,344 miles, Autohaus in Tucson, Arizona, performed an oil and filter service. Recent work by European Collectibles included air-conditioning service, conversion to R134a, and a new dryer; the system now blows ice-cold.

Complete with two keys, owner's manual, Warranty & Service booklet, spare wheel, jack, toolkit, and service records. This Medium Ivory 911 SC Coupe is an amazing preservation-class example, well-documented, and a first-year 911 SC. |
