1979 Porsche 911 Sc on 2040-cars
Baltic, Connecticut, United States
More infos regarding my car at: lydalggattis@ukboss.com .
Good honest 1979 Euro spec 911 SC. Factory air conditioning and power windows. Pulled from a dry garage two years
ago after sitting for ten years, this rust free car was treated to a full paint and interior. The fuel injection
was rebuilt, the brakes were done and the whole fuel system was flushed. All fluid were changed and the ca has
been road drive 150 miles since all the work has been performed.
Currently the air conditioning does not work but all the components are there and function. Aside from that , the
car is a pretty well sorted driver quality car.
It is a numbers matching car with its original engine and transmission. The car has its tool kit and manuals as
well. There is an aftermarket radio but aside from that, the car is stock and unmodified from new.
I have service receipts going back several years which includes the valve service done about 30 KM ago. The car
smokes a moment at start up after sitting more than a day or so but otherwise runs out smoothly. Th eclutch is
good and the brakes are also excellent. The E-brake works as well. All lights work.
The paint job was done late last year and is about equivalent to a factory paint job It is not show but very nice.
There is a small send under the rocker on the drivers side. The interior is outstanding with perfect seats and
carpeting. The instruments are original and the bezels have some minor pitting.
The pans and floors are excellent original with no rust or rust repair at all. The car has its original spare and
jack. The engine bay is not detailed. It does not leak.
The glass is all original. The roof liner is excellent. Some of the exterior rubber has some slight fading.
Overall, this is a nice and inexpensive entry in to the air cooled Porsche world. The car can be worked on and
driven and enjoyed at the same time. It does have needs as noted in this description but there is nothing to keep
its new owner from driving & enjoying it.

Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
Magnus Walker pops up again, this time with his Irish Green 911
Sun, 06 Oct 2013He was the subject of a short film called Urban Outlaw. He has been on Jay Leno's Garage. Twice. He even graced the cover of Road & Track in June. And after all of that, he appeared in a video by Hong Kong-based Silly Thing. So it isn't really surprising that Magnus Walker is at the center of attention in the latest video from XCAR, but it's surprising - and a treat - to see his mostly original Irish Green 1966 Porsche 911.
Powered by an air-cooled 2.0-liter flat six with 130 horsepower (more like 120 hp today, Walker says), riding on 5.5-inch wide wheels and turned with a wooden steering wheel, the little green 911 does represent some of the best aspects of classic car motoring.
Head on below to watch the long-form video on Walker and his Porsche, but if your time is limited, you're not missing much if you call it quits at five minutes - especially if you've seen his aforementioned videos before.
Jay Leno puts carbon fiber wheels to the test on a Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Thu, 04 Sep 2014Jay Leno's Garage usually focuses on looking at cars new and old, speaking to their owners and then Jay taking a drive to see what he thinks. However, Leno throws his usual shtick to the curb this week to do a full product test of the carbon fiber wheels from a company called Carbon Revolution. If you're not interested in hearing about wheels for 18 minutes, don't worry. They get mounted on a Porsche and are tested back-to-back with stock wheels, and Leno takes the 911 for a track test, too.
While carbon-fiber wheels aren't exactly a new idea, Carbon Revolution's goal is to create a lightweight, one-piece product that can be mass produced. The company even claims that it already has a deal with an OEM automaker to offer them on a vehicle in a few years. The key to the technology is that it doesn't need an expensive autoclave to be made.
In the meantime, the company's carbon fiber wheels are available as an aftermarket option for about $15,000 a set, according to the video. They weigh in at about 15.5 pounds each and offer OEM-levels of stiffness, so they could cut some unsprung mass off of a performance car. Watch here as Jay and his mechanic Bernard lap Willow Springs and give their feedback about what they think of this cutting-edge technology.
