Porsche : 911 SC for sale
Current customer rating: (292 votes ) based onThis particular example is one of the very best extant - it looks like it is 3 or 4 years old. Paint. rubber trim. body and door seals. glass. chrome trim. lights and every other part of the body is spectacular. The Tobacco Metallic paint was offered for 2 years only; this car has had one quality repaint in its life. which apart from a few small stone chips shows as new. There is no orange peel. nbsp;masking marks. or any paint preparation issues - it could pass as original paint.
The interior is equally nice. The cut velour seats are unique and add period charm. and are near perfect. The dash is perfect. The door cards. console. headliner and carpets are near perfect. Floor pans look new (but are original). as does front trunk compartment and spare wheel well.
The car drives wonderfully with a strong engine. good syncros. no suspension noise. good brakes etc.
I bought this car recently as a keeper. but an upcoming addition to our family has made keeping it impractical. so I am reluctantly selling it. I have had a chance to do a very thorough evaluation of it. and with an eye to long term ownership. here are all the known faults of the vehicle.
1. There is some idle fluctuation upon start up. perhaps up to +/- 200 rpm. This can be alleviated by revving the engine to 1. 00 rpm for 30 sec upon start up. and then it settles down to an even idle. 2. It appears that the heater flaps or the cables in the heat exchangers are stuck. and the heater doesn't work as it should. 3. The manual window winders work. but are quite stiff. 4. At certain speeds and loads in 3rd gear. there is some whine from the gearbox; it is faint but it is there. 5. There are some minor oil leaks. but not enough to leave a spot on the floor. 6. It has not had the update to hydraulic timing chain adjusters. which most people think is a good idea.
In summary. the car is close to a 10/10 cosmetically. but it has sat for a while. and there are a few small mechanical issues which have developed from non-use. There is nothing that needs immediate attention. and the car can be driven and enjoyed. For the fastidious. you could pull the drivetrain and give the car a major service. perform the timing chain tensioner update. address the minor leaks and 3rd gear whine. I had budgeted $5k-$7k. nbsp;and then figured that I would have a 10/10 car that you couldn't spend another nickel on…
I also bought some period Recaro Ortho C Seats (manual) in brown corduroy. and a RUF SCR muffler and rear valence to accommodate the dual exhausts. These can be purchased separately if desired.
The car is in Calgary Canada. It came up from Monterey. CA. where it passed the smog tests. nbsp;and the car retains its emission control equipment. For US buyers I can have the car re-imported to the US with duty paid. FOB Seattle for an additional $3. 500.
Lastly. please feel free to Google me. Lawrence Romanosky. I am the Sales Manager of the Porsche Centre in Calgary. This is my personal car. nbsp;and I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't one of the very. very best available. It is admittedly at the high end of of the SC price spectrum. but it deserves the high price - I had to pay a lot for it. and at this price I am not even getting all my money out of it.
