1981 Black Porsche 911sc Targa on 2040-cars

Year:1981 Mileage:245400
Location:

Los Angeles, California, United States

Los Angeles, California, United States

Up for sale is my 1981 Porsche 911SC Targa.   I am a PCA member and have diligently maintained (and lightly restored) this car. 
 
Body & interior are in top condition, and all mechanicals have been touched in the past 12 months.   I have a binder of all service records beginning in November of 1983, and including a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.  No known major accidents, other than a reference to broken glass falling on the car which required paint work in the mid-90s.  
 
I purchased the car from a Porsche mechanic, who in turn had acquired the car from the son of the owner after he had passed away.  The previous owner, from 1983 to just prior to my ownership, was a doctor based in Beverly Hills.  He was a meticulous owner and loved the car, anything that needed replacement/repair was promptly addressed.  He was also religious in his regular maintenance as well (oil changes, brake fluid flush, A/C recharges, etc).  All service records detailing the care and maintenance of the car are on hand.  During my ownership over the past couple of years I've gone through the car thoroughly and repaired any additional items that needed attention.
 
A sampling of some of the recent fixes include:
  • In April 1991 the previous owner replaced the original wheels with an full Fuch OEM wheelset (receipt in hand).  I had them reconditioned in Sep 2012.
  • New shift coupler installed as well as new shifter bushings
  • Any/all oil leaks resolved - new cam oil lines (left and right) installed, new intermediate shaft gasket, new S line, and new engine oil lines.
  • Chain tensioners rebuilt with OEM Porsche upgrade kit, replaced all 6 chain ramps, install new guard kit, and reinstall covers with new gaskets.
  • Repaired and refurbished Bosch CD Box
  • Pop off valve installed
  • Replaced fuel lines and CIS injectors
  • Front tie rods replaced with Turbo 930 tie rods.
  • Front seats have been reupholstered to OEM spec
  • Targa top refurbished.
  • New Porsche dash (was told this is one of the last 911SC available from the factory)
  • New windshield, and new seals
  • New rear targa window
  • Replaced deteriorating cardboard OEM blower motor cover in trunk with Rennline billet metal cover
  • Replaced deteriorating cardboard rear deck with replacement fiberglass cover
  • Speedo sync'd at North Hollywood Speedometer, all dash lights replaced.
  • Headlights replaced with Sylvania OEM replacement lights
  • All lightbulbs replaced
  • Original Blaupunkt radio, reconditioned, working, and reinstalled
  • Kenwood amplifier installed in trunk with along with an equalizer switch to allow for iphone/ipod in glove box (all components out of sight).
  • A/C recently charged and working well.  Original compressor and clutch in working order.
  • Cleaned windshield wiper fluid reservoir, new fluid pump installed, new jets, new wipers.
  • 4 new Hankook tires from Tire Rack with receipt.
The car has been at several PCA events.  Recently photographed at the 2012 Porsche Concours at Greystone Mansion, and included several PCA Los Angeles publications.  The car's high 245k mileage is a point of distinction that is often admired among aficionados.  At Porsche events it is noted as a point of pride.  This car also comes with the following:
  • A binder documenting it's entire service history
  • Porsche certificate of authenticity
  • Original tool set (the screwdriver handle is a replacement, otherwise OEM, including replacement fuses)
  • Original set of tire changing gloves - very rare item that came as part of the original tool kit
  • Original jack and jack pad
  • Spare tire with original stickers, never been pumped
  • Replacement spare tire pump
  • Car cover included
Please contact me with any questions.

Top Gear brings together LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Earlier this month, Top Gear released a brief video of the comparison test between three hybrid hypercars we'd all been waiting for: the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. The story was done by the print magazine and not by the television show, and the video they released was barely over half a minute long, reserving the full version for subscribers of the iPad edition. Now the British mag has put the full video on YouTube, and while it's still only a minute and a half long – three times the length of the previous teaser – it's packed with electrified exotic goodness. The test surely took some serious wrangling to put together, and though the metal (or carbon fiber, as the case may be) was apparently furnished mostly by private owners, to hear Top Gear tell it, the manufacturers – Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche – were eager and helpful in putting the showdown together. For the final conclusions, we're afraid you'll still have to buy the magazine, but for a rare chance to watch all these three world-beaters on the same road at the same time, you'll want to scope out this latest video clip.

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead

Wed, 13 Feb 2013


Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
