1981 Porsche 911 Sc Targa 2-door 3.0l **71058 Original Miles** on 2040-cars

History You are bidding on a 1981 Porsche 911SC Targa. Manufactured 12/1980. The vehicle was originally purchased 05-1981 in California. The first owner had the car until 05-1993. The second owner had the car from 05-1993 to 05-2001 and still lived in California. The current owner purchased the vehicle in 2001 with 66k miles on. The vehicle has been moved a few times with the new owner, 2002 to 2006 Illinois, 2006 to 2013 Tennessee and now is living in Michigan. Women owned all 3 times.

This vehicle is in excellent condition for its age and has been well cared for by all 3 of its owners. I just drove this vehicle from Detroit MI to Louisville KY and was very impressed by how fun and nice it was to drive. It’s a very solid vehicle and will be a very nice car to own. I will attempt to describe the vehicle the best I can. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Interior The interior was completely redone in 1988. Today the interior still looks great. The front seats and rear jump seat are in great condition free of any rips or tears. The dash pad was also recovered and only has a few spots in it right in front of the steering wheel (see pictures). The owner installed a dash pad for protection and it has done a great job maintaining the condition of the dash. It can be removed if desired. The carpet, door panels and the rest of the interior are also in great shape. The original radio has been replaced with a more updated Alpine unit with usb connector. There are also 2 amplifiers in the luggage compartment for the audio system.  The sun visors have also been replaced with new ones from Porsche. The original sun visors will come with the vehicle. All gauges and controls in the interior are in working condition and in great shape.

Exterior The exterior was completely restored by Sport Body in Upland California in 1988. I have several Polaroid pictures of the vehicle throughout its refinishing process and all invoices for the repair. Today the exterior looks good with typical rock chips in the front hood area and around the headlights. It does have a small place on the passenger side of the front bumper and the driver’s side rear quarter panel behind the wheel that the paint has either been rubbed off or was damaged. See pictures for these areas. There is a small amount of rust developing around the rear window where the bottom of the glass meets the body. I also noticed a very small amount on the door edge of the passenger door. The rest of the cars exterior is near perfect. The luggage area and under the vehicle are in great shape and very clean. I pulled back the carpet and took pictures of all common areas that other vehicles this age might have rust issues. This vehicle looks good, battery area, under both doors and all corners of this vehicle are rust free. The Targa was also refinished in 1988 and still looks new today.

Engine At 66462 miles in 2001 the engine had head studs that were pulling out and would not torque so the owner decided it was the best time to have the engine rebuilt. The engine was removed and totally rebuilt by Callas Rennsport in Torrance California. I have all documentation listing what was replaced but a small list would include; clutch cable, all head studs, connecting rods and bearings, timing chains, updated to Carrera tensioner kit, all cam chain rails, new air box and so on. Invoice total was $8361.10. Today the engine runs very well with no signs of leaking fluids or any smoke from exhaust.

Extras The owner has installed a maintain battery charger that will come with the vehicle. Also included is a cover king locking car cover, a light weight carbrella for when the targa top is out, 2 owners manuals, all maintenance and repair invoices, new still in the box threshold covers, original tool bag with tools, original spare tire and 6 keys

Tires were replaced in 2008 but only @3000 miles ago.
