1983 Porsche 911SC 3.0 Targa 


VIN # : WP0EA0918DS160507

Miles : 186,474

Well, the family is expanding, so some toys have to go .. 

This is a great example of a 1983 Porsche 911SC Targa, that has been a California car it's whole life, with no accidents.  I always babied her, kept safely in the garage, used only for the occasional nice weather drives down the Pacific highway.  Note :  there have been a number of upgrades installed on this vehicle since I purchased her in 11/08 with 177,289. Since then, I have put on a mere 9,186 miles and had the following installed :

Including : 

Bosch Euro Lighting Kit
Short Shift Kit
17" Boxster Rims w/ 2" Spacers (Professionally Aligned and Balanced) 
205/50ZR17XL (Front) 255/40ZR17 (Rear)
Bilstein Shocks (HD's in Front and Sports in Rear) 
StrutTower Braces (Interior and Trunk) 
1000W Alpine/ Focal Stereo CD/FM/IPod w/ 12" Subwoofer (sounds amazing) 
Alarm System (Currently Disabled) 
Respray (front and installed new emblem)
New Targa Top and Headliner
New Fiberglass Top (Aftermarket hard top)
New Leather Upholstery
New Windshield Glass 
New Battery 
New Seals @ 178K,000
Rebuilt Transmission @ 178,000  
Chain Tensioner Upgrade
New Rubber Seals throughout cabin
Regular Tune Ups & Oil Change etc
Passed CA SMOG TEST in 01/13 

My mechanic has offered to speak to any serious parties if they wanted to know more about the vehicle, and I can send you his info to contact him directly. Or we can discuss details around sending to a mechanic of your choice for a formal inspection.  Trust me, you will not be disappointed in this 911SC - as I have painstakingly given a lot of attention to detail to this vehicle.  The only negatives about this include : There's no AC (doesn't appear to work) but seat heaters, and defroster work perfectly. Also, I don't have the original Fuchs rims anymore. However, I do have the back seat where the subwoofer in back currently is - in case you want to switch back to stock.  The aftermarket fiberglass top fits snugly, but I lost the original screws, now replaced with ones that are (almost) too short. They do work fine, and hold the top on fine but should be 1/4" longer. There are some minor oil leaks (very few) and yet the seals were redone 8K ago.  My mechanic is air cooled Porsche specialist, and says this is one of the nicest working examples he has ever seen. 

Overall : This Porsche starts on a dime, pulls strong, and because of the short shift kit, and transmission rebuild, shifting is tight and satisfying.  There a few very minor paint blemishes (side and rear panel) - and I have had them touched up, but the paint is in exceptional shape. 

Clean Title in hand, currently registered in CA, I have all service records from the time I have owned, and some from previous owner. 

I will work with you to coordinate shipping arrangements, as I will be willing to ship this vehicle within the continental USA. (only). Buyer is responsible for all shipping fees.

Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties

Wed, 14 May 2014

These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.

The 2017 Porsche 911 RSR goes mid-engine, purists be damned

Wed, Nov 16 2016

Porsche unveiled its World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech Championship competitor with the 2017 911 RSR. And this 911 is different from the rest, as the 4.0-liter flat-six engine powering this beast is in front of the rear axle, not behind it. That's right, this 24 Hours of Le Mans competitor ditches the iconic rear-engine layout. Porsche isn't talking specifics on how exactly things are arranged back there. The engine is new, now based on the 991 911's block instead of the previous Mezger motor that's been used for years. The transmission design is new as well – it would have to be to accommodate the new location relative to the engine. The racecar has been engineered to meet the LM-GTE class, where it will go up against other mid-engine cars like the Ford GT and Ferrari 488 GTE. Moving the engine to the middle has given Porsche the ability to fit the 911 RSR with massive bits of aero, like the humongous rear diffuser that looks like it would be more at home on a machine of war. The only thing that can compete with the diffuser for size is the top-mounted rear wing, which shares a similar design to the one found on the 919 Hybrid. Going back to the engine, the direct-injected boxer motor, depending on the size of the restrictor, generates as much as 510 horsepower and sends all of its fury to the rear wheels. The engine is paired to a six-speed sequential gearbox, which drivers can employ through paddles on the steering wheel. The new engine doesn't have a lot of weight to push around as the 911 RSR, as required by regulations, weighs 2,740 pounds. Speaking of weight, the engine layout isn't the only change for the 911 RSR. For 2017, the car ditches its steel body for one that's made out of carbon fiber. The body attaches to the chassis via quick-release fasteners, making the vehicle easier to service as exterior elements can be removed with minimal effort. The racecar also gets a radar-based collision system – aptly named the "Collision Avoid System" – which is meant to limit the 911 RSR's encounters with faster LMP prototypes. Only time will tell if the new layout and aerodynamic components help the 911 RSR beat its competition. But there will be plenty of opportunities to see the racecar in action as Porsche plans to run the 911 RSR in 19 races during the 2017 season, the first of which will take place at the IMSA opener on January 28th at Daytona, where the racecar will make its track day debut.
