911 SC

1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet, Slant Nose Aluminum ConversionThis 1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet is a rare and highly distinctive example, featuring a professionally executed slant nose conversion crafted entirely in aluminum. Unlike the fiberglass kits commonly seen, this conversion was performed by one of the few select West Coast shops of the era, where skilled metalworkers painstakingly shaped and fitted aluminum bodywork by hand. These limited-production conversions are now regarded as functional art pieces, embodying the craftsmanship and vision of 1980s automotive culture. Power comes from the factory 3.0L air-cooled flat-six, producing 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Known for their durability and engaging performance, the SC drivetrain remains a benchmark for classic Porsche reliability and driving enjoyment. The interior continues the period-correct aesthetic with sport seats featuring checkered pattern inserts, matching door panels, off-white dials, and a Momo steering wheel. Together, these details capture the unmistakable 1980s Porsche character while complementing the car's bespoke exterior. With its unique aluminum slant nose conversion, authentic Porsche SC drivetrain, and well-preserved interior, this 911 Cabriolet is a truly special example’both as a collector's piece and as a driver that tells a story of artistry and individuality.
