This 1979 Porsche 911 SC is offered at no reserve and is described as being largely original despite being on the path to some choice modifications by the seller. The 911 was purchased with big plans to tweak the styling, but the seller was relocated overseas and has since lost interest in the project. The 911 does have some tell-tale signs of modifications, from the duckbill-style rear spoiler to the aftermarket wheels, but those tweaks are easily reversible. And, if you’re feeling the style of modifications the seller was planning to undertake, you’ll be pleased to know all of the parts he’s accumulated will go with the car. Find it here on eBay where bidding is at $23,000 with no reserve.

The seller purchased the 911 as a no-accidents example that had been garaged since new. He had plans to convert the bodywork to the “Yellowbird”-style of bumper treatments, in homage to the famous RUF car that is immortalized in numerous YouTube videos. The front bumper alone costs over $1K, so he wasn’t skimping on parts. I don’t love the wheels, but they are a popular look right now for anyone into the restomod style of design. The wheels currently on the 911 are Fuchs replicas made by a popular manufacturer called Rota; fortunately, the original, color-matched Fuchs wheels are included with the sale, and far more period correct in my opinion.

The seller had begun a fairly major interior transformation, with plans to swap the original carpets out for RS-style treatments. The work is half-started, and the seller notes he has no intention of completing the conversion, but that both the original and RS carpets are included. This fits the overall theme of the presentation, as the seller acknowledges that the 911 has been sitting for years and needs the full assortment of fluids changed, fuel / brake systems checked, and more – and he has no plans to do it. This is a true as-is, where-is, sale, and while some may find that off-putting, at least you know what you’re getting into. The cabin does look nice in terms of what remains, with a crack-free dash and original steering wheel still affixed.

As you can see, all of the original parts are included, and quite nicely presented, I might add. It’s obvious some big dollars were spent and the seller was dialed in to buying the right parts. Though I hate to see another classic sports car fall under the restomod knife, this 911 is already on its way to a proper conversion, some you might say, “Why not?” Conversely, the parts that the seller is including could easily be sold to recoup some investment and get the deferred maintenance tackled, and keep this clean 911 SC in the form its original creators intended. Either way, it looks like someone will get a great foundation for a project with no reserve. Which direction would you go?
