$20K+ invested into mechanical upgrades in last 2 years

This is a unique silver 1982 Porsche 911 SC silver coupe in amazing original condition and brilliantly kept up mechanically. Only 61K original miles. Over $20K was invested into the car in the last two years at a time when I thought I'd keep the car forever. However. babies and new businesses have taken priority and although I still want to keep it forever. I'm willing to part with it for a fair price.

(note: this link did not work for the first day of the auction but it's now up and running).

Note: This Porsche SC doesn't come with the high-cost surprises that many SC owners have and will continue to go through. The list of upgrades. restorations. and repairs list is immense and available to serious bidders. The car is accident-free and car fax certified. The paint is original and has a glossy deep finish.  

This car is meant for an experienced Porsche owner or an owner that's well read. that understands that my $20K investment will not only save you $10-15K over any comparable car without the same work completed. but it will more importantly give you peace of mind knowing that everything that the things that typically go wrong or require upgrades or repairs have most likely already all been taken care of.

I've addressed every major item that all the books and buying guides warn you about and I welcome and encourage a PPI on appointment. Practically every major and typically necessary piece of the drivetrain for the Porsche SC has been replaced. added. upgraded. etc with a complete top engine rebuild by one of New York's most respected Porsche mechanics with over 30 years experience. I quote him when I write. "If I drove 50 Porsche SCs not one of them would drive as well as this".

A full list and records/receipts are available to serious bidders but some of the items includes new head studs. clutch. brakes/calipers. suspension. chain tensioner. gaskets. ring sets. rack arms and shaft. valve guides and springs. oxygen sensor. replaced heat exchanger. pop off valve. engine sound insulation. fly wheel. oil returns. alternator. vent fan. warm air regulator. warm air valve. battery. and much more. You will not find one oil leak and the car drives perfectly.  For those of you that don't know. a top end engine rebuild is actually a great thing because when we had to fix the head studs and take out the engine. all the 32 year old parts were replaced. So when the books and blogs talk about "Porsche SCs going 200-300K miles. it applies to this car.

Three owners including me in 32 years. Garaged with each.

Finished in a pewter silver metallic with black leather interior. The previous owners kept the car in climate controlled garages and this car was never driven in bad weather. It is totally rust free. The last owner purchased the car for his collection on 6/04/99 with 46. 34 miles and put less than 10K miles on the car in 13 years. When I bought it. I planned on keeping it forever (and still want to). However. babies and new businesses have taken priority as of late.

The SC starts up like a new car in any climate. It idles perfectly. It has great oil pressure. It runs cool and performs amazingly well. The five speed transmission shifts really well and again. the full clutch assembly is brand new.

There are a few tiny chips in the paint that have been touched up. They are disclosed below. The leather seats are original and are glove soft with one minor 1-inch tear repaired and barely noticeable.  The carpets are original and the door panels. headliner. and dash are in great condition.

The previous owner made some minor alterations such as installing european headlights that honestly look so good. I'd never replace them. The original assembly is still available however. The tires are almost brand new. The wheels are perfect.

Beyond my records I do not have any history or maintenance records other than verbal information that has been passed on by the previous owner so please don't inquire about that. I just don't have them. However. every inch of the car has been inspected and cared for since I've owned it.

The car is 32 years old. It is truly in amazing condition but not perfect museum or showroom condition. Expectations must be managed.

Buying a Porsche SC is a commitment. All Porsche SC owners know the joys of ownership and they also know that owning a 30-year-old car can come with big surprises. Fortunately. the big and expensive surprises have been dealt with already and what's left is a head turner in amazing condition for its age – inside and out. The car has potential to be show room condition with additional restoration.

All four speakers have been replaced and an expensive state of the art touch screen stereo system with navigation has been installed cleanly into the dash giving this driver's car the luxuries of a modern car in a classic dream. It has full wireless Bluetooth capabilities for phone and music. It was installed by the foremost custom car shop in the northeast and I am not removing it.

EXTERIOR:

THE BODY PANELS ARE RAZOR STRAIGHT WITHOUT ANY SIGNS OF PREVIOUS COLLISIONS. THE CAR HAS PERFECT SHUT LINES. THE PEWTER METALLIC PAINT IS GLOSSY AND HAS A DEEP FINISH. THERE ARE A FEW CHIPS OR TINY SCRATCHES ON THE BODY. MOST ARE CAPTURED IN THE IMAGES. SOME OTHERS WERE TOO SMALL TO SHOW. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL CHIPS ON THE EDGE OF THE HOOD. LIPS OF THE REAR QUARTER PANELS. ONE NEXT TO LEFT QUARTER GLASS. COUPLE ON THE PASSENGER'S DOOR. ONE ON THE CORNER OF THE GAS LID AND CORNER OF THE HOOD. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL ONES ON THE BUMPERS. HOWEVER. WHEN YOU WALK UP TO THE CAR. THEY DO NOT STAND OUT. AGAIN. THIS CAR IS 30 YEARS OLD. THE NEW OWNER WILL GET A GENUINE LOW MILES CAR THAT IS ORIGINAL AND MECHANICALLY RESTORED. ALL LIGHT LENSES. GLASS. AND WHEELS ARE NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. THE TIRES HAVE 2/3-3/4 OF LIFE LEFT IN THEM FOR SURE. THE CAR RIDES VERY SMOOTH EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE FLOOR PANS. SILLS. INNER FENDERS. SPARE TIRE AREA. AND DOOR HINGE AREAS ARE RUST-FREE.

INTERIOR:

THE ORIGINAL LEATHER SEAT COVERS ARE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION. THEY ARE GLOVE SOFT WITH VERY LIGHT PATINA. THE ORIGINAL DOOR PANELS. HEADLINER. BLACK CARPETS ARE NEAR PERFECT. THE ORIGINAL LEATHER DASH AND REAR CARGO COVERS ARE NOT SHRUNKEN AS IT IS COMMON WITH THESE CARS.

THE STEERING WHEEL. GAUGES. AND MISC. TRIM ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

MECHANICALS:

THIS CAR STARTS UP RIGHT OF WAY EACH TIME. IT IDLES GREAT AND PERFORMS EXCELLENT. IT DOES NOT SMOKE. THE HEAT EXCHANGERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH USED EXCHANGERS BUT IN PERFECT CONDITION AND WILL LAST A LONG TIME. THIS CAR RUNS COOL. HAS GREAT OIL PRESSURE. nbsp;ACCELERATES WELL. AND STOPS GREAT. THERE ARE NO ABNORMAL NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE OR THE TRANSMISSION AT IDLE OR AT HIGH SPEEDS.

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I WAS OF COURSE CONCERNED OF THE LACK OF SERVICE HISTORY HOWEVER. AFTER PUTTING IN $20K+. I HAVE ALL THE RECORDS YOU WILL NEED TO SLEEP PEACEFULLY. THE OIL WAS CHANGED AT THE RIGHT TIMES AND THE ENGINE SERVICED MORE THAN REGULARLY. THE BRAKES/CALIPERS SUSPENSION ARE BRAND NEW. AND AGAIN. THE TIRES ALMOST NEW. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SOUNDS AND LOOKS VERY GOOD. THE CAR HAS NO TROUBLE WITH INSPECTIONS. IN FACT. IT JUST PASSED AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL:

ALL LIGHTS. GAUGES. SWITCHES. POWER WINDOWS. POWER SUNROOF. ETC. WORK PROPERLY. THE A/C FAN BLOWS BUT NOT WELL AND IT'S NOT COLD. I WAS TOLD THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND I FELT COMFORTABLE WHEN TWO MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT EVEN IF I WAS TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM. THE PORSCHE SC WAS NOT DESIGNED TO COOL THE CAR DOWN WHEN IT'S OVER 85 DEGREES ANYWAY DUE TO THE FACTORY'S VERY SMALL AIR VENTS. THE WINDOWS AND THE FAN HAVE BEEN ENOUGH FOR ME. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD NOT USED THE AC IN THE LAST 13 YEARS AND I HAVE NOT DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND IF THE BUYER WANTS THAT DONE. IT WILL COME AT HIS/HER OWN EXPENSE POST SALE. SORRY. I LOVE THIS CAR AND STAND BEHIND IT BUT I'VE PUT ALL THE MONEY I CAN INTO IT IN ALL HONESTY. THE ONLY THING THAT IS NOT ORIGINAL IS A NEW $1000 STEREO SYSTEM WITH NAVIGATION AND BLUETOOTH THAT IS VERY CLEAN LOOKING. INSTALLED BY ONE OF THE MOST REPUTABLE CUSTOM CAR SHOPS IN THE NORTHEAST TO FIT.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT:

THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS VERY NICE AND CLEAN BUT NOT DETAILED. ALL FACTORY STICKERS ARE ON THE PROPER LOCATIONS.

FRONT STORAGE COMPARTMENT (TRUNK):

THE FRONT COMPARTMENT IS VERY CLEAN AND MOISTURE-FREE. IT HOUSES THE ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE AND THE TOOLS.

I HAVE PROVIDED HIGH QUALITY IMAGES FROM WHEN I ALMOST SOLD THE CAR A FEW MONTHS AGO ON CONSIGNMENT. MORE PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE AT:

I PULLED THE CAR BECAUSE I HAD TROUBLE PARTING WITH IT. DESPITE SATISFACTORY OFFERS. AT THIS POINT. I'M READY TO LET GO AND HOPE THE NEW OWNER WILL ENJOY IT AND CARE FOR IT AS MUCH AS I STILL DO.
