Just curious if my car was in an accident previous to my ownership. My antenna is on the driver side of the car - I noticed every SC I have seen in person it is on the right. My car is a 78. Did they change where they put the antenna or is my car just been modified. There is no place for the antenna on the passenger side.

 

I have a picture of a 79SC and it shows the antenna on the passenger side, same as my 81SC.

 

My 78 has it on the right side also....?????? Is it a Euro or US car?

 

Maybe your car was a right-hand drive car built for England and converted to left hand drive? Only kidding. The antenna on my '81 is on the passenger side fender.

 

My 82's antenna is on the passenger side

 

Since no one chimed in with a 1980 SC, I will. Passenger side for me also.

 

I believe it is a U.S. car. How do I tell if it is a Euro version? Will the serial number identify it. It is the only one I have seen that has it on the left. The passenger side fender was not plugged or no space for the antenna. Strange.

 

ELectric antenna on the right fender, normal on the left.

 

My 78 is also on the drivers side. Someone mentioned in my (current) thread about replacing the antenna, that Porsche seems to have moved it between 78 & 79. I believe drivers side is correct. If wrecked, I see no reason (or evidence) to move it from one fender to the other.

 

My 1978 SC has a muanual antena in the driver side fender a few inches from the windshield.

 

Well that seems to explain it. Mine is a 78 with a manual antenna.

Thanks guys.

 

Bill,

I have a '78SC (US version) with original electric antenna mounted on driver side fender. Porsche must have switched the location after 1978.

Manual on the drivers side.

I keep it down, because the radio is kept off.

Weirdest thing to get used to has been the windshield wiper blades in my cone of vision. I still want to rip them off.

Took the car up to 140 mph with the top off and windows rolled down last night (targa), I love this car. Also drove my favorite winding river drive, the evening setting sunlight flickering off the water through the trees, it's a good life the Porsche life.

 

I was always told this was the scenario.

 

You can reverse the wiper position. The project is listed in the 101 Projects book by Dempsey...it didn't llok too hard, though I have not attempted it myself.
