1980 Porsche 911 SC

Vehicle Overview

This 1980 Porsche 911 SC is in Grand Prix White with Blue.

1978 saw the introduction of the brilliant 3.0-liter engine, which replaced the US-Spec 2.7-liter 911s. Paired with body that could last forever, and an engine that could reach 300,000 miles with proper rebuilds, the Porsche 911 SC was born and was a change in the right direction in Stuttgart.
