This 911SC is totally awesome! This is the “poor man’s” early 930. Original color, all matching numbers!
Mocha brown with cork sport seat interior with tartan dress inlays!
Here are the stats:
· Factory lightweight: no sunroof, only 1 rear view mirror, no A/C, manual (Sport) Seats, limited slip
differential, small battery, smaller & wider wheels/tires, Bilstein Suspension, no fog-lights, spoilers…
· Absolutely gorgeous mocha-brown (mocha-black – called one or the other in sales documentation, color
chart and certificate of authenticity, but mocha-brown and mocha-black were the identical colors with the same
paint code, just two names for the same color depending on brochure, country and documentation) with cork sport
seat interior with tartan dress inserts
· Original per Certificate of Authenticity
· Refreshed/resealed original, matching number 3.0 liter engine (930/04).
You are buying a very original, custom ordered, light weight 1978 911SC. This car was ordered as a lightweight, it
only has one (driver’s side) rear view mirror, no sunroof, no air conditioning, no fog-lights, manual sport
seats, limited slip differential, Bilstein shocks/ suspension, limited slip differential, short 15” wider wheels
and tires (7 & 8 x 15 instead of 6 & 7 x 16 with 205-50-15 & 225-50-15 tires instead of the regular taller wheels
for faster acceleration.) Further, the car has a short shifter installed. This car drives like a go-cart!
The car just underwent a major refresh. It was all original, has never been in any accident, as you can see by its
condition such as the interior it has lived a very gentle life. The front bumper, hood and the single driver’s
side mirror had a lot of stone-chips. Further, somebody had put body side moldings along each side in the middle of
the doors that looked ridiculous – it kept the doors dent-free. When we removed the non-original door moldings,
some of the paint lifted with them, we decided to repaint some of the car. Further, the car had the not so nice
factory all rubber whale-tail (it will come with the car), and we decided to treat this car with a reproduction
early 930/911SC-Weissach deck-lid with a factory rubber lip. The roof of the car, as well as the rear bumper and
valance are original paint. We decided to carefully sand down the rest of the car and refinish it in its original
and ultra-rare mocha brown/mocha black color and the car looks stunning! The paint meter shows that the car is
almost the same thickness as a new car, some areas slightly thicker. As you can see, the car has been updated with
European H4 headlights and European tail-light lenses, all in excellent shape.
The car was running very well, but when we wanted to give it a tune-up and valve adjustment we found two broken
lower Dilavar head-studs. As a result, we disassembled the engine (930/04 - early large port 3.0 US version),
replaced all Dilavar head-studs with updated steel ones, put in new rings – this car features Mahle pistons and
cylinders which are in outstanding condition, the guides in the cylinder heads were like brand new and had been
replaced many years, but less than 10,000 miles ago, so we put in new Wrightwood Racing valve stem seals and left
the guides alone. Further, the clutch has been updated with the all spring sport type without the problematic
rubber center; pressure fed chain tensioners were installed, a pop-off valve was installed, plus all regular
maintenance items such as new injector seals, intake runner bellows, new thermostat and breather seals, new spark
plugs, original new spark plug wires, cap, rotor, new air/heater hoses etc. Of course the valves are freshly
adjusted. The car features its original small 228mm (906 and 78/79 only 911SC) fan and fan housing – the original
housing one had a crack (very common from previous, incorrect alternator service/replacement) and we sourced an
excellent original replacement; the fan blades are perfect without any chips. We use silicon valve cover and sump
gaskets. As the photos show the original exhaust is in excellent condition. We also checked the gas-tank, it is in
excellent, original condition with no internal corrosion what-so-ever, as is commonly found these days as a result
of the ethanol containing fuels.
The power robbing pollution air pump had been nicely removed, and it comes with the car complete with the air
injectors, manifold, bracket and pulley if you ever want to make the car 100% original.
All windows are nice, clear and free of scratches or chips, the headliner is in stunning condition without any
tears or discoloration, even the dash and sun-visors are excellent, so is the plaid/cork interior, and cork
interiors with plaid dress inserts per certificate of authenticity are ultra-rare and are very, very 70s and
gorgeous! This car even features its original radio (with the operation manual in the glove-box), and amazingly
features the original door speakers with the ultra-hard to find original door speaker covers in outstanding
condition. It is almost impossible to find a 38 year old car this original and well maintained. Even the tool-kit
and original emergency air compressor are still there as shown; even the original bag that used to contain a pair
of gloves for a tire change and or course the owner and maintenance manual are there complete in their original
pouch.
We even found a fresh set of tires for the car, almost impossible to find in this original 205-50-VR15 & 225-50VR15
size and configuration, especially the rear tires. Also, the brakes are freshly serviced with new front rotors and
pads.
To keep the engine running cool, the car is equipped with a Terbatrol front oil cooler system (in the right front
fender), these were extremely efficient with much better heat dissipation than the original loop coolers or the
multi-tube coolers had. Also, a nice, small hole was cut into the front valance panel to channel more cooling air
into the oil-cooler, a desirable update. Even the original, factory, super loud red fanfare trumpet horns are still
functioning and in the car.
This car is an excellent investment opportunity and can be enjoyed, it is an excellent driver.

Porsche Cayman GT4 spot has us reaching for our driving gloves
Wed, Feb 4 2015We've got to hand it to Porsche for finally unleashing the potential of the Cayman, and not worrying about it infringing on 911 territory. The latest Cayman is, by all accounts, a superb sports car in its own right, gets even better as the Cayman S and that much more so in GTS spec. But the new Cayman GT4 takes things to a whole other level with a 3.8-liter flat six driving 385 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual. Old school is what it is, and certifiably off the leash. We brought you the full skinny on the new GT4 late last night when it surfaced, but now Porsche has released a video clip highlighting what makes its new pocket rocket look so great. It's got Nurburgring graffiti, intimidated neighbors, barking fluffy dogs, gape-jawed children, and of course footage of the Cayman GT4 itself doing what it was designed to do. All we need now is to get our driving gloves on its Alcantara steering wheel and ball-shaped shifter.
Porsche goes Platinum with special edition Cayenne
Thu, 05 Dec 2013The other day, Porsche announced a new special edition of the Cayenne. We didn't pay it much heed because it appeared to be exclusive to Europe (or, at least, markets other than ours), but now Porsche has announced its availability in North America, as well.
It's called the Platinum Edition, and it's available exclusively on the entry-level models with either the 3.6-liter V6 or 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. You can tell the special edition apart from any other Cayenne by the silver details (accenting the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler) and its two-tone black and beige leather interior. But what makes it a compelling choice is the long list of equipment, which Porsche has identified as the most requested options and fitted them as standard, including the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, Convenience Package and Bose audio.
Pricing starts at $63,300 for the Cayenne Platinum Edition, or $66,900 for the Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition. That represents a premium of approximately $13,000 over a bone-stock model, but actually saves you a few grand if you were going to select all those options anyway. Check out the press release below for all the details.
Exotic cars caught on video racing on neighborhood streets in Beverly Hills
Thu, Sep 17 2015A pair of supercars caught on camera racing around a quiet Beverly Hills neighborhood last week has residents fearing for their safety. The video shows a white Porsche 911 and a yellow Ferrari LaFerrari as they clipped parked cars and blew through stop signs while residents of the upscale community watched in horror. Freelance cameraman Jacob Rogers shot the video of the supercar shenanigans. He later confronted a man outside the house where the Ferrari eventually parked. He asked the man if he cared that he was endangering people's lives. The man became combative and claimed he had diplomatic immunity. "He told me verbatim, 'I could have you killed and get away with it,'" Rogers told NBC Los Angeles. "I told him, 'the press is allowed to be here on the sidewalk on a public street.' He said, '(Expletive) America' and threw a cigarette at me." The Ferrari's plates are from the oil-rich country of Qatar. The race ended with the Ferrari pulling into the driveway of a $45,000-per-month rental home, its engine compartment smoking. Police can be seen arriving in the neighborhood. Los Angeles police are currently investigating the incident. Even though the LaFerrari was still smoking when police arrived they haven't filed charges because no officer witnessed the illegal activities. When police approached the owner of the vehicle he denied doing anything illegal and again claimed diplomatic immunity. Police told NBC they are in contact with the State Department about the man's diplomatic status and the legality of the cars in the neighborhood. Beverly Hills isn't the only swanky zip code plague by hotshot supercar owners. Some of the most expensive homes in London can be found In the Knightsbridge neighborhood - and some of the most expensive cars as well. This summer, the local council of Knightsbridge and nearby Chelsea began exploring a Public Space Protection Order that would fine drivers who rev their engines, drag race on residential streets or blare music, according to Reuters UK.
