About this car
The 1982 Porsche 911 SC Targa is finished in its original Guards Red over Black leather. This example retains its factory color combination and presents with the majority of its paint intact, supported by available paint meter readings. The 3.0L air-cooled flat-six remains paired with the 915 five-speed manual transmission, and the engine incorporates updated Carrera-style hydraulic chain tensioners.
The Targa roof removes cleanly and fits without issue. The interior shows preserved dashboard, seats, carpets, and door panels. Power is delivered through the original engine, which produces strong output with no active oil leaks noted on the clean undercarriage. The 915 transmission shifts through all gears without fault, and the clutch and brakes operate as expected.
Staggered Fuchs alloy wheels measure 7x16 inches in front and 8x16 inches in rear, fitted with black centers, polished lips, and Toyo performance tires. The car includes the original owner’s manuals, books, tool kit, spare tire, and jack.

The Porsche 911 Carrera G-Series, produced between 1974 and 1989, represents a significant evolution of the iconic 911 lineup. Over its 15-year production run, approximately 196,000 units were manufactured across various trims, including the Carrera, making it one of the longest-running generations of the 911. The G-Series introduced key updates like impact bumpers to meet U.S. safety regulations and galvanized steel bodies for improved corrosion resistance, enhancing longevity—a critical factor for collectors.
Engine options varied, with the Carrera models typically featuring air-cooled flat-six engines ranging from 2.7 to 3.2 liters, producing between 175 and 231 horsepower depending on the year and market. Performance highlights include the 1984-1989 Carrera 3.2, which achieved 0-60 mph in around 5.6 seconds. Notable for collectors are rare variants like the 911 Turbo (930) and special editions such as the 1988 Commemorative Edition, built to celebrate 250,000 911s produced. Values have risen steadily, with well-maintained examples often fetching over $50,000, and rare models exceeding $100,000 at auctions. The G-Series’ blend of classic design, durability, and historical importance as a transitional model makes it highly sought after in the exotic car market.
