This car is scheduled to be sold on Tuesday on Bring A Trailer.

The 1982 Porsche 911SC Coupe is a unique and modified vehicle that combines the prestige of its lineage with its own enhancements. It features a powerful twin-plug 3.8-liter flat-six engine and a Type 915 five-speed manual transaxle, along with a limited-slip differential for optimal performance on the open road.

The exterior of this car is truly remarkable. It has undergone a transformative journey, now showcasing steel 930 Turbo-style front and rear fenders, aftermarket fiberglass bumpers, and a sleek rear spoiler. The car has a black finish, applied as recently as April 2023, and is equipped with a sunroof, H4 headlights, Californian side mirrors, and compelling exhaust outlets.

Adorning the car are staggered-width 15″ Group 4 wheels, painted in a rich gold color, and wrapped in Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring tires at the front and Nitto NT555R at the rear. But it's not just about the looks - this 911SC is also primed for performance. It features 930 Turbo-sourced calipers, cross-drilled and vented rotors, Bilstein shocks, rear helper springs, Rebel Racing RSR-style spring plate bushings, powder-coated control arms, Elephant Racing components, 930 Turbo rear torsion bars and tie rod ends, and new upper shock mount bushings.

Inside, the car boasts aftermarket sport seats with blue fabric and Tartan inserts, Porsche 911SC-branded floor mats, a JWest Engineering Rennshift shifter, a 917-style shift knob, power windows, RS-style door panels, and metal pedals, providing a luxurious and immersive driving experience.

The driver has a clear view of the car's performance through the replacement VDO instrumentation, which includes a central tachometer, a speedometer, and other vital gauges. Although the odometer shows 14k miles, the true mileage remains unknown.

Torque Power Engines of Reno, California, enhanced the car's air-cooled flat-six engine to 3.8 liters in 2019. The engine features a twin-plug ignition system, a gold-finished fan and intake manifold, a front-mount oil cooler with Elephant Racing brass lines, Rebel Racing engine mounts, a Steve Wong chip, and a custom exhaust system.

Currently under dealer consignment in Arizona, this modified 911SC comes with recent service records, a clear Carfax report, and a clean California title, making it ready to capture the attention of Porsche enthusiasts and automotive enthusiasts alike.
