1980 Porsche 911 911 Sc Targa on 2040-cars
Rochester, New York, United States
I am always available by mail at: gwendaschiavi@net-c.nl .
I introduce this vehicle as an original issue free excellent example of a Porsche 911 SC (Super Carrera). These air
cooled Porsches are climbing in value and are sought by discerning collectors.
The car is in excellent condition with perfect blemish-free paint-no scratches, dings, stone chips or excuses. The
body is as straight as a pin and has not been modified. The color does look much better than in the pictures. It is
rich looking hue of a blend of gold and bronze.
Most important is that there is NO RUST whatsoever and no part of the car shows any suspicion of rust and this
includes the body joints, floor pans, underneath and under moldings. The car was garaged and only used on rain free
days during summer months. This accounts for the low mileage.
All glass and trim is perfect-no scratches or wear. The electric window run well.
The targa top is fine and does not leak.
The interior and leather seats are very well preserved without scratches, tears or marks.(except for 2 inches of
wear on the driver side seat bolster) The dash, door panels and rear deck are excellent. There are no cracks or sun
damage.
The wheels are original factory Fuchs. They are in excellent condition without scratches or scrapes. The
chrome/silver part of each wheel is excellent.
The car has a new set of Yokahama tires as well as a new Porsche factory battery.
The engine has received a complete tune up, plugs, valve adjustments etc. It runs very very smoothly without any
hint of unwanted noises or valve clatter. There are absolutely no issues to this well maintained clean engine.
The transmission is the stock 5 speed manual in perfect condition. It shifts well and smoothly with no hesitation
or crunch when put into its gears. There is no hesitation when engaging first gear.
In conclusion, this is a superior example of what a Porsche SC is all about. The 3.0L engine is described as the
most reliable of the air cooled engines. This example does all that it was designed for-it runs straight, handles
like a Porsche and brakes perfectly. There is nothing to be done to improve it, except for the minor scuff on the
bolster of the driver’s seat.
The reason for the sale is that I purchased a 1967 911 which I must completely restore to the original condition of
the 1967 911 that I owned in 1969.

Porsche prioritizes 200,000-unit sales target over exclusivity [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Would a Porsche still be a Porsche if it weren't as exclusive? That's the question which industry pundits are asking - and customers may soon as well - as the German automaker emerges from the fringe in pursuit of larger volumes.
A dozen years ago Porsche was barely selling over 50,000 units per annum. In a sales surge that has gathered pace as fast as a 911 Turbo, however, it was already hovering around the 100,000-unit mark a few years later. Last year it sold over 160,000, and has targeted 200,000 units by 2018. But it may not even take that long.
Automotive News reports that Porsche has advanced its targets to reach for 200,000 units by the end of this year or the next. The bump in sales would be driven particularly by the introduction of the new Macan, of which it aims to sell 50,000 units annually, starting next year. The Cayenne currently stands far and away as its most successful model. The 911 and Panamera have swapped second place a few times over the past five years, followed by the Boxster and Cayman.
Gary Cooper's 1935 Duesenberg SSJ fetches record price at Pebble Beach
Mon, Aug 27 2018The 1935 Duesenberg SSJ formerly owned by Gary Cooper sold for a jaw-dropping $22 million over the weekend at the Gooding & Co. Pebble Beach auction, setting a record for the most valuable pre-war car ever sold at auction. It also appears to have become the most expensive American collector car ever sold at auction, eclipsing the very first Shelby Cobra ever made, which sold for $13.75 million in 2016. The Duesenberg was also the lone American-made entrant in the list of top 10 sellers, which was crowded with the names Ferrari and Porsche. You have to go all the way down the list to No. 21 to find the next American car: a 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Phaeton, which sold for a mere $1.127 million. All told, Gooding & Co. said it realized more than $116.5 million in auction sales over the weekend, with a whopping 25 cars sold for north of $1 million, an 84 percent sales rate and an average transaction price of $947,174. Clearly this is how the other half 1 percent lives. Gooding & Co. said there were five world-record sales at the auction. Joining the Duesenberg were a 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial Series II, which sold for $5.005 million; a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta, $6.6 million; a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale, $3.41 million; and a one-of-two 1966 Ferrari Dino Berlinetta GT, $3.08 million. Oh, and that 1969 Ford Bronco test vehicle we told you about? The one that was rebadged by Holman & Moody as a Bronco Hunter? It sold for $121,000, which was well below the expected range of $180,000 to $220,000. Perhaps it was the presence of all those gorgeous Porsche Spyders and Ferraris that meant collectors weren't interested in boxy, utilitarian off-roaders. View 24 Photos Gooding and Co. had expected the convertible Duesenberg coupe to go for more than $10 million. It was one of only two of its kind built by Duesenberg — the other having gone to Clark Gable — with a specially shortened, 125-inch wheelbase and a supercharged straight-eight with double overhead cams, able to produce around 400 horsepower and a top speed of 140 miles per hour. It features a lightweight open-roadster bobtail body produced by LaGrande out of Connersville, Ind. The car was also owned at one point by race driver Briggs Cunningham.
Porsche planning more plug-ins
Mon, Jan 5 2015Which automaker offers the most plug-in models in the industry? The answer may surprise you, because it's not Toyota, it's not Renault or Nissan or any other automaker that might spring to mind. The answer is Porsche, which already offers the Cayenne and Panamera in plug-in hybrid spec in addition to the 918 Spyder. And it could offer more in the near future. Speaking with Automotive News, Porsche's global sales and marketing chief Bernhard Maier spoke of the importance of plug-in range-extended models to the company's future plans. The 55-year-old executive, who endeavors to make his 56-mile round-trip daily commute from home to the company's headquarters in Stuttgart entirely emissions free, indicated that his company only plans to offer more plug-in models. Previous reports indicated that E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera wouldn't fit in the Macan, and that no such plans were in store for the Boxster, Cayman or 911. But when asked what Porsche had in store for the future, Maier replied: "We have a lot of ideas, but we have not approved them for production yet. The 918 Spyder shows that Porsche has the capability to produce very convincing hybrid sports cars." While clearly guarded, Maier's answer points to a future of more plug-in hybrid models from the storied German marque. All that remains to be seen is whether that will come in the form of a Boxster, Cayman, Macan or another new model altogether, like the rumored mini-Panamera dubbed Pajun or a mid-engined V8 supercar.
