Maverick Marktpreis: Porsche Values<br />
by Peter Wen<br />
It’s no secret that air-cooled 911s have been gaining value<br />
in recent years. With the 993 (the last air-cooled generation)<br />
hogging the spotlight, you may have missed the meteoric rise<br />
of a particular group of 911 Carreras . . . Super Carreras,<br />
that is.<br />
The Super Carrera, or SC, was produced from ’78 to ’83, in<br />
the middle of the second-generation 911. 911 SCs, in this socalled<br />
impact-bumper generation, have enjoyed an incredible<br />
run up in value over the last five years. The SC coupes in<br />
particular have doubled in value across the board from fairconditioned<br />
daily drivers to show winners. Targas have also<br />
shown significant gains, with a range of about 55 to 65%.<br />
The SC Cabriolet, the first 911 convertible ever, reported a<br />
more modest gain, between 15 and 30%. A total of 57,890<br />
SCs were produced.<br />
