1981 Porsche 911 SC Targa – Black – SOLD

After 1973, Porsche struggled to retain customers as their dive into meeting California emissions regulations caused a panic amongst engineersand purists. With changes such as a revised Bosch fuel injection system and a bit of indecisiveness when it came to engine casing materialsteel or magnesiumthe 911 began to lose steam. Thankfully, all that was needed was a plana five year plan to be exact.

It was decided that next five years of the 911 would receive a 915, 5-speed manual gearbox, a galvanized body/chassis, and come in three variants, a Coupe, Targa and for the first time in the 911 model, a Cabriolet for the 1982/83 model year. The SC or Super Carrera, was produced from 1978 to 1983 and with a concise technical/mechanical plan in place, Porsche was able to familiarize international markets and mechanics alike.
