1981 Porsche 911SC Targa - Enthusiast Owned - 61,381 Miles - Dozens of Photos
This beautiful 1981 Porsche 911SC is part of a 60+ car private collection in Austin, Texas.
I acquired this car from an enthusiast in the northeast who had purchased this car out of Florida as his "dream
car" but was forced to sell it because he was starting a business. The mileage of 61,381 is original and documented
by multiple Carfax and Autocheck records as well as the Massachusetts title dated 11/06/2009 and verifying 58,507
"actual miles". Under my ownership the car has been stored in a private facility in Austin, TX sharing space with
other collector cars from Porsche, Ferrari, Lotus and Aston Martin while being driven less than 200 miles in the
last three years.
When I bought this car, I was looking for a clean, mechanically sound driver to use as a base for a hotrod build.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) as air cooled 911's continue to climb in value I don't have the heart to
customize such an original car. I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country tomorrow. Along the way,
I'd make sure to stop by a few tracks just for fun. I hope whoever buys this car does exactly that because this car
deserves it. It's a great car that deserves to be driven.
Mechanicals:
The car starts, stops and drives exactly as you would expect from a car with this low mileage. It pulls hard and
revs smoothly and the 915 transmission shifts as it should with no grinding or other odd noises. The clutch is
strong and the car brakes easily and in a straight line. There are no oil leaks or smoking from the engine. The car
shows no signs of prior accident repair and is 100% rust free and as solid its low mileage suggests. Everything in
the car works as it should - lights, switches, wipers, gauges, everything. The car is numbers-matching.
When I received the car I was unhappy with the shifting of the 915 transmission. Accordingly, I took the car to the
Porsche specialists at TPWS in Austin, TX and spent $5,796.19 having the transmission rebuilt and a new clutch,
flywheel and ring gear installed. The result is a car that shifts and drives like the day it came from the factory.
The car has been driven less than 200 miles since this work was completed and service records of the work performed
are included with the car.
I haven't charged the AC system and it's currently not functioning although it was blowing cold when the car came
to me from the previous owner. All components of the system are intact and I have no reason to believe it wouldn't
function as intended after a service and charge.
The Dunlop tires show excellent tread.
While I have only driven this car less than 200 miles since I acquired it, I can honestly say that this car is
among the best-driving vintage 911's I've ever owned. Every time I take it out it exceeds my expectations. It will
yours as well.
Exterior:
From every angle, the car presents beautifully in its original factory black color. The car was previously painted
and the high-quality, professional respray is glossy and beautiful without dents or door dings. If you've ever
heard good cars described as "10-footers", then this car is a 5-footer with a ton of eye-appeal, outstanding
details, and excellent gaps. The paint, while no longer brand new, is still very nice with only light patina
including the usual handful of rock chips on the hood and nose of the car. The original finish was preserved in the
trunk, engine compartment and door jams and the factory VIN sticker and assorted decals are all intact. I'm finicky
about my cars and I'd rate the paint on this car an 8 out of 10. If you're looking for a great car that you can
drive every day without worry, and that will look great while you're doing it, this car is for you.

Porsche Supercup racer dies in crash in Australia
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Even with great strides made towards increasing the safety of motor racing, fundamentally it's still a dangerous sport. And now it has claimed another life.
That life belonged to one Sean Edwards, an accomplished GT racing driver. Edwards was killed at Queensland Raceway in Australia, riding shotgun in a Porsche 996 GT3 while acting as instructor. The driver was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries. Sean Edwards was 26.
The son of former F1 driver Guy Edwards (whose car he drove in the filming of Rush), Sean won the European GT3 Championship in a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and drove a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 to repeat victories at the 24 Hours of Dubai as well as this year's Nürburgring 24 Hours. Edwards had been competing in the Porsche Supercup, whose standings he currently leads with just two rounds to go, and could be crowned champion posthumously.
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.
