While original 964 RS models have climbed into collector vault territory, this build delivers the exact visual presence and road attitude without compromising the raw, analog driving experience that only an early air-cooled 911 can offer. Starting life as an original European-market 1980 911 SC Coupé, the car was converted to the 964 RS look many years ago, retaining the lightweight simplicity of the G-series platform with the CIS fuel injection and standard torsion-bar suspension. Recently, the car received professional repair of rear damage, followed by an extensive cosmetic refresh and a complete high-standard respray in a typical 964 RS color Mint Green (Mintgrün).
The car presents exceptionally well with clean shut lines and uniform panel gaps. The conversion includes original 964 front and rear bumpers, smooth rocker panel skirts, teardrop Cup mirrors, and the 964 decklid spoiler that can be operated electrically. The car sits on a purposeful, lowered stance over a set of 17-inch Cup 1-style alloy wheels finished in gloss white, completing the unmistakable early-nineties track-ready stance.
Chassis, Underbody & Transparency
Importantly, the chassis is completely solid and entirely rust-free. The underbody is thoroughly preserved and protected with a clean layer of anti-corrosion wax. The car left the factory in original white, which has been deliberately retained and exposed in the front trunk (frunk) and on the underside—offering total, honest transparency of the underlying metalwork and structure with no hidden surprises.
Interior & Equipment
The interior has been comprehensively updated to late-model (late G-model / 964) specification and is in outstanding, highly preserved condition throughout. The highlight is a pair of genuine Porsche factory Turbo/Sport seats with pronounced side bolsters and electric height adjustment, finished in dark leather with grey fabric center inserts. The rest of the cockpit follows suit with later-era door cards, updated center console, a pristine crack-free dashboard pad, 964-style four-spoke steering wheel, and classic VDO gauges with clear faces. The factory electric sliding sunroof, black headliner, and carpets are all in clean, fully functional order.
Drivetrain & Recent Mechanical Work
Under the rear lid is Porsche’s proven 3.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six in European specification. To ensure total reliability and turnkey usability, the mechanicals have just received extensive maintenance and refurbishment:
- Engine: New timing chains and guides installed; valve clearances checked and set; fresh engine oil and filters. Strong oil pressure across the entire rev range.
- Transmission & Drivetrain: Fully inspected Type 915 5-speed manual gearbox shifting cleanly and precisely, fitted with a brand-new clutch kit and fresh gear oil.
- Brakes & Running Gear: Complete rebuild and refurbishment of the brake calipers with fresh fluid, plus brand-new rear wheel bearings.
The combination of lightweight bodywork, unassisted rack-and-pinion steering, sorted brakes, and classic G-model suspension gives this car a crisp, tactile driving experience that modern 911s simply cannot replicate.
History & Paperwork
First registered in France on February 21, 1980, this SC boasts an unusually clear and continuous paper trail. From October 2000 until July 2024, it was in the hands of a single private owner in Côte-d’Or, Burgundy. The car was driven regularly, documented by an unbroken row of official French Contrôle Technique inspection stamps from 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023 (valid through July 2025).
The car comes with its original French Carte Grise (stamped for export) and inspection tags, ensuring a smooth, problem-free registration process anywhere in Europe. It is fully sorted, dialed in, and ready to be driven.
