Background Story of this 1979 Porsche 911

Overview of 1979 Porsche 911 For Sale by Owner

The Porsche 911 came in September 1964 and redefined sports cars for eternity. It did this by way of a quirky rear-engined rear-wheel drive layout, something that was previously thought of as unconventional, and even in some ways, unsafe. However, Porsche proved critics wrong and created a cult classic. Even today, the 911, a model which has stood the test of time, is rear-engined and rear-wheel drive, although all-wheel drive is also available. Moreover, Porsche offers variants with well over 500 horsepower going to the rear wheels, showcasing that a well-designed rear-engined platform is as safe as any other type of sports car. For many 911 enthusiasts, the defining point is 1998, when the engine switched from air cooling to water cooling. So, if you’re a classic 911 enthusiast, you want to go down the air-cooled route. We can help you out with this California-based 1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa that’s available right now. The car has 179,768 miles displayed on the odometer, but after a comprehensive restoration, this 911 is catered to have a long life ahead of it.

Exterior and Interior

This lovely 1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa looks a treat, in its alluring coat of Guards Red paint and classic 911 Fuchs wheels in black. The car is a targa variant, which means it’s got a removable roof panel and support structure in black, adding a two-tone effect to its overall persona. Of course, even though it’s not a coupe, you’ve still got much of that iconic teardrop shape and circular slanted headlamps to enjoy. Inside this 1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa, you’ll find two comfortable seats and a sports steering wheel with the Porsche emblem at the center. The car’s iconic five-dial instrument VDO gauges stare at you, with its central rev counter waiting to excite. There’s also a Blaupunkt Bremen retro-modern head unit that offers Bluetooth and DAB choices, hooked up to a set of Infinity Reference speakers. Behind the two seats is a padded cargo area that augments the front trunk or frunk that every 911 offers.

Engine

This 1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa has a 3.0-liter air-cooled flat six, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, this is a real driver’s car. You’ve also got aftermarket Stoptech brakes with slotted rotors for fantastic stopping power when needed.

1959 Chevrolet Corvette

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$114,999

Designed by the legendary Harley Earl, the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette heralded an era of American automotive greatness that continues today, eight generations and more than seventy years later. Introduced in 1953 as an all-American two-seat sports car, the C1 went through several developmental hurdles before maturing into the beautifully refined machine seen here. By 1959, the Corvette had already received its important 1958 facelift—adding quad headlamps, heavy chrome detailing, and factory-installed seatbelts—making models from this period especially desirable. This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette, finished in Roman Red with iconic White Coves and located in Florida, represents one of the finest ways to experience the facelifted C1 era. Subjected to a complete show-quality preservation showing under 100 miles since completion, it blends timeless Corvette heritage with tasteful upgrades that enhance drivability while keeping the car’s classic character intact.
