Only 21 examples of the 1984 Porsche Type 954 —sometimes known as the 911 Evolutionsserie and best known as the 911 SC RS—were produced by Porsche Motorsport for FIA Group B World Rally competition. 

The project took a standard 911 SC and gave it a significant weight reduction, as well as power from the type “930/18” 3.0-liter flat-six engine and a race-spec five-speed gearbox. 

Chassis no. 021 was originally delivered to the van Dijk Racing Team of the Netherlands in February 1984. They campaigned the car on its sole competition outing at the 1984 Tour de Corse, where it finished 14th as the highest placed Porsche. Tycho van Dijk held on to the car until 2004, when it was sold to the current owner with a mere 4,979 original kilometers.

This car will be presented at Broad Arrow’s Chattanooga Auction complete with its original matching-numbers engine and transmission, original interior and original components. Offered with a Porsche Classic Technical Certificate, a digital copy of its factory build sheet, a factory SC RS technical manual, 1984 Tour de Corse route books, and a Jürgen Barth report, this two-owner, dual-use Group B rally car offers its next caretaker a host of opportunities on both road and track.

Joining the SC RS at the Chattanooga Auction, offered from the same Porsche collection, are two additional rarities: a 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S “Factory One-Off” Cabriolet and a 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster “Full Turbo Look.” 

The 911 Carrera S “Factory One-Off” Cabriolet is the only Turbo-bodied, rear-wheel drive 993-generation Carrera S Cabriolet produced by Porsche. Ordered by a Porsche VIP and fully conceived by Porsche Exclusive (known today as Porsche Sonderwunsch) the Cabriolet is finished in classic Guards Red with “Z-Code” Flamenco Red carpeting and optioned with a full leather interior, heated Nappa leather seats, automatic air conditioning and more. The car shows just 16,436 kilometers, has matching numbers and is expected to bring in excess of $400,000.

The 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster “Full Turbo Look” is one of just 69 M491 Speedsters delivered new to Switzerland, New Zealand, and Australia only. Optioned from new with a full leather interior, limited slip differential and air conditioning, the Speedster wears unique “Full Turbo Look” features including factory fitted front Turbo valance and spoiler and Turbo tail. The car comes from 22 years in current ownership and is estimated at $200,000 – $300,000.

A 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Tribute to Carrera RS Package, among the rarest modern Porsche models available (Estimate: $450,000 – $550,000).
