Ruby Red Metallic 1968 Porsche 911SC Cabriolet

Ruby Red Porsche SC Cabriolet: A stunning photoshoot with an air-cooled classic

I can’t remember ever seeing a “rubinrotmetallic” Porsche in the wild before this. An SC Cabriolet isn’t my favorite Porsche, but dang, Ruby Red Metallic makes it hard to deny.

A great looking color on a great looking car. This was so well sorted, the new owner walked away with a treat at $62,000.

I'd love to hear about your car and what you need — whether it's a Bring a Trailer listing, a private sale, a dealer lot or just a proper set of your build. No shoot is too small. A year, make, model and a rough timeline is enough to quote, and I answer email fast.
