1983 Porsche 911 SC: Timeless Design & Classic Soul
The Porsche 911 has long held a hallowed place in the hearts of enthusiasts, and this modified 1983 Porsche 911 SC is no exception. A stunning blend of iconic styling, driving performance and open-top freedom, this particular example captures everything that makes the 911 such an enduring symbol of automotive passion.
Presented in standout Forest Green Metallic, this Porsche immediately strikes a balance between sophistication and raw appeal. The rich, deep green hue accentuates the classic silhouette and the wide-arched presence of the Wide Body, an aggressive yet elegant design that mixes timeless charm with brute appeal.
Engine and Performance
Beneath the rear decklid resides the raucous 3.0-litre flat-six cylinder engine with a sports exhaust, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The marriage of this naturally aspirated powerplant and the crisp manual transmission delivers a driving experience that’s visceral, direct, and thoroughly rewarding.
It’s a car that thrives on being driven with intent, where each gear change and every throttle input is met with a surge of unmistakable boxer-engine character.
Interior Excellence
The cabin offers more than just aesthetics—the dash and gauges are in very good condition, preserving the quintessential 1980s 911 experience. Every glance at the dials evokes a sense of purpose, connecting the driver to the heritage of Porsche engineering. The drivers seat shows some loose stitching that is easily rectified. This Cabriolet is a four seater suitable for two adults and possibly small children in the rear seats if you remove their legs.
Suspension and Stance
Adding to its allure is the sports suspension setup and a serious stance, giving the car the poise and balance you expect from a classic 911. The wide-set Fuchs style wheels complete the look, offering a muscular stance while maintaining that perfect vintage Porsche aesthetic.
Condition and Care
This 911 SC is a drivers car that shows various marks and blemishes that speaks to its history as a well-enjoyed classic. These imperfections add character, making it a great car that can be driven as it should, without the worry of stone chip damage.
The Open-Top Experience
This particular example started life as a 911 SC Targa body and has been converted into this stunning looking Widebody Cabriolet before being imported into Australia.
Few cars blend open-top driving, unmistakable design, and classic performance quite like a Porsche 911 Cabriolet.
Whether carving through twisty coastal roads or cruising on sunny weekends, it promises an experience defined by connection—to the road, to the machine, and to a rich automotive legacy.
This is open-top motoring with pedigree, precision, and an undying spirit of old school cool.
