1981 Porsche 911

Porsche 911 SC Targa. .   U. S. model. Original and very rare ice blue metallic color with dark blue interior.   This Porsche Needs work but it is in  Fair condition inside and out.

EXTERIOR:  The body is in good shape. has a rust spot on passenger fender but solid body The door and hood gaps are all in excellent. uniform condition. The paint is old and is showing its age. but still looks good from a short distance away. My pictures of the exterior were taken 10 feet from the car  I'm sure there are people who would prefer to have the car re-painted sooner rather than later.

INTERIOR:  The interior is in very good overall condition. The only flaws of any significance are a small tear in the center of the driver's seat. tape on the original factory steering wheel. and the headliner could use either some gluing or possible replacement. It is also missing the driver's side floor mat. The rest of the interior is in great condition including the crack-free dashboard. The lights. blinkers. wipers. horn and power windows all work as they should.  

MECHANICALS:  This 1981 911 SC was last registered in 2010 (always  garaged). For several years it was periodically driven to keep the battery charged. However. until a couple of weeks ago. it had not been started in 2+ years.   So the mechanic drained the gas tank. and put fresh gas and  had me take it on a short test drive (about a mile) seemed to smoke quite a bit. The mechanic said the smoke is typical due to oil in the cylinders from sitting dormant for so long without being started.   He says the car simply needs to be driven and the smoke will eventually go away. This 911 leaks zero oil onto the ground even after sitting for a couple of weeks. The steering. clutch. transmission and brakes all feel excellent although the brakes hang-up ever so slightly.   Once again. the car needs to be serviced and tuned up The A/C pump has been taken off at some point. but I have it. Also. the heat exchangers have been removed and replaced. has a hole in the muffler so it needs to be replaced cause it sounds bad this car would be great for someone looking to restore it 

The floor pans. suspension areas. etc. are all in outstanding original condition. Any minor areas of surface rust (chips. nicks. etc. ) have been touched-up. The only area of “through the metal” rust is a ½” hole next to the headlight (please see picture). Make no mistake. this 911 will need some work. However. it is extremely solid and has an amazing amount of upside and potential for someone who wants to do a little work on it and enjoys tinkering with German sports cars. I guess you could call it your “Tinker Toy!”

1981 911SC Targa is being sold in “AS IS” condition with the original 27-year old clear/clean Massachusetts title. It is also being sold WITHOUT a California smog certificate due to the aforementioned circumstances.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Although I am not a body shop owner. nor mechanically inclined
