Porsche 911 SC Value & Price Guide

Real sold auction prices for the Porsche 911 SC, one trim of the Classic 911 (1965–1989): median, value by model year and every recent sale. Updated weekly.

This page tracks sold prices for the Porsche 911 SC, one trim of the Porsche Classic 911 (air-cooled, pre-964), read from auction listing titles. In the last 12 months (Nov 3, 2025 to Oct 30, 2026) our sample recorded 97 U.S.-dollar auction sales of model years 1978 to 1983. The median sold price was $62,000, the middle half sold between $51,000 and $77,500, and results ran from $36,250 to $280,500.

That is 18% below the $75,500 median for all Porsche Classic 911 sales over the same window (585 sales), and the 911 SC accounts for 17% of them.

By model year (years with at least 3 sales), 1983 cars had the lowest median at $53,330 (22 sales) and 1980 cars the highest at $79,500 (15 sales).

What drives value in this sample: of the 32 sales with a known mileage, cars at or under 71,000 miles had a $77,500 median against $62,000 for higher-mileage cars. Model year explains part of each gap, and condition, history and options matter most for any one car.

Why: the median moved less than 8%.

  • Mix-adjusted median +0% vs the prior 3 months on 25 recent and 25 earlier USD online-auction sales (80% range -11% to +20%). Adjusted for trim and model year so a run of pricier cars doesn't look like a rising market.
  • Raw median $66,500 in the last 3 months vs $63,119 before (+5%; median model year 1980 → 1981).
  • 12-month trend: +9% per year (mix-adjusted, 92 sales).

Frequently asked questions

What is a Porsche 911 SC worth in 2026?

In our last 12 months of 97 U.S.-dollar auction sales, the median sold price for a Porsche 911 SC was $62,000, with the middle half between $51,000 and $77,500 and sales from $36,250 to $280,500. Condition, mileage, model year and options move any one car; this is a market snapshot, not an appraisal.

How does the Porsche 911 SC compare with other Classic 911 trims?

The Porsche 911 SC median of $62,000 compares with $75,500 for all Porsche Classic 911 sales in our sample window. Among Classic 911 trims with their own page, the 911T has the highest median ($81,750) and the 911 SC the lowest ($62,000).

Which Porsche 911 SC model year is the best value?

In our sample, 1983 cars had the lowest median ($53,330, 22 sales) and 1980 cars the highest ($79,500, 15 sales), counting model years with at least 3 sales. Lower prices often reflect higher mileage or condition, so compare individual sales.

How much does mileage affect a Porsche 911 SC's value?

Of 32 sales with a known mileage, cars at or under 71,000 miles had a $77,500 median and cars above it $62,000. Mileage often travels with age, so it isn't the only factor behind that difference.

Are Porsche 911 SC prices going up?

In our sample, the median USD sold price over the last 3 months was $64,250 (from 24 sales), about the same as the $65,320 median of the 3 months before that (26 sales), a -2% change. Our market signal for the Porsche 911 SC reads Hold (no clear move). Treat this as a rough guide, not a forecast.

How do you decide which sales count as a Porsche 911 SC?

Trim is read from the auction listing title. Race and cup cars, projects, tributes, replicas, conversions and modified cars are left out of trim pages (they still count on the Porsche Classic 911 page), and special editions are not lumped in with the regular 911 SC. Sold-price data from Old Cars Data auction records. Only sold results are included.
