Year:1979 Mileage:164600
Location:

Carson, North Dakota, United States

Carson, North Dakota, United States

I bought this 911SC just a few months ago after searching for about four months. But now found something else that caught my eye and I have way too many cars.


The target came from California. The previous owner had it for quite a few years. 2007 he had the entire engine rebuilt. Not a cheap rebuilt either , have receipts in a tune of $8000. The rebuilt included also the fuel distributor and ignition distributor rebuilt. New fuel injectors and new fuel pressure regulator.

Also, the clutch was replace some of the vacuum and fuel lines. The brakes were also replaced, new turbo tie rods, new ball joints, new real axle and rebuilt calipers.

Is only been about 4200 miles on it since the rebuilt.

The target top was totally refurbished. Also all new four sides target top seals.

The heat works great!

The front sports seats were reupholstered. There is a small cut on the bottom part of the driver sport seat.

The color is sienna copper metallic (436-9-3) and is extremely rare. The original buyer Special ordered it. 

The engine runs really strong, the clutch engages like it should, and it's peppy and responsive. You can tell the suspension has been redone, it drives extremely straight and is very responsive.

New Targa Floor mats


The areas that need attention are: there are rock chips in the front, a 2 larger rock chips on the passenger side rear wheel area there's a slight wave in the paint around that rock chip. Small spot on targa bar. 

The dash is cracked, that's why there's a dash cap over it. The sun visors are ballooned. The gas gage is finicky. The Tach is finicky. The rear tires should be replaced, but the front are great.


Might down swap for a 928, 968 or 911


On Apr-18-14 at 09:09:49 PDT, seller added the following information:

Still waiting on my ND title to arrive by mail. ND DOT is 3-4 mounts behind in sending out tile's because of the oil boom. I expect it to arrive in the next week or so.

Porsche 960 could come with quad-turbo flat-eight engine

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Getting a bead on the target that is the so-called Porsche 960 is not easy, as the target keeps moving. First labeled the 960, then the 961, and now back to being called the 960, it is Porsche's take on a supercar specifically aimed at Ferrari - the latest report in Automobile says that Porsche's internal moniker for it is "FeFi," which stands for "Ferrari Fighter." Because it is expected to cost as much as the top-tier V12 Ferrari, Porsche wants the engine solution to justify the price tag. That means, according to author Georg Kacher, a 3.9-liter, quad-turbo flat-eight engine with 650 horsepower.
Last summer, the engine was mooted to be a twin-turbo flat six. A few months later, the rumor was that it would use the 4.6-liter V8 from the 918 and have about 570 horsepower. This new mid-engine configuration would be quite the leap, giving the 960 more power than the 918 Spyder (pictured) and 911 GT2 RS, and utilize other tech features like four adjustable camshafts and "a complex multistage intake manifold." In this scenario, power would be run through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive.
Build materials are still slated to be a hodgepodge of materials including aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, titanium and magnesium. The boosted flat-eight, all-wheel drive and a 3,000-pound weight could get the 960 from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds. Since it is looking squarely at Ferrari, the idea that the 960 will be a "four-door coupe" can probably be put to rest. For now.

eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.

The 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S brings 50 extra ponies to Detroit

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Porsche has announced a new version of its popular SUV today at the Detroit Auto Show: the 550-horsepower 2014 Cayenne Turbo S.
This newly minted "flagship" of the Cayenne lineup is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 engine, and offers 50 hp more than the Cayenne Turbo. Performance figures are impressive for the sleek utility vehicle: 0-60 miles per hour can be dashed off in 4.3 seconds, while maximum speed is rated at 175 mph. The Turbo S also gets dynamic chassis control, torque vectoring and Porsche's Sport Chrono package - all standard equipment.
Visually the Cayenne Turbo S differentiates itself from the lesser models in pretty subtle ways. Gloss black trim decorates the gawping front air intakes, as well as rear-view mirror trim panel. The SUV also wears 21-inch Turbo II wheels, a la the 911 Turbo.
