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 calls in The Committee for Boxster and Cayman GTS

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

Porsche is set to offer up the very first GTS variants of its more affordable Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes. This is very good news for enthusiasts. Aside from our original post announcing the hotted up models, though, Porsche hasn't given us much to go on.
And you know what? This video isn't much of help either. It's called The Committee, and we're guessing it's meant to highlight the lengths that Porsche went to in designing what are essentially sportier trim levels for its two most affordable entries. Still, it's a stylized and entertaining video with a few entertaining driving scenes scattered throughout, and it gives just a small glimpse of Porsche's view of the vaunted GTS badge.
Take a look below for the full video.

Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study

Thu, Jul 24 2014

Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014. It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo. Porsche and Hyundai weren't the only automakers to take home recognition. Dodge managed to tie Porsche for the most segment awards, with three. The Challenger, Charger and Dart all topped their market. There were a number of two-segment winners, as well, with Audi, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan capturing a pair of segments each. Scroll down for the full press release from JD Power on this year's winners. Automakers Struggle to Impress Owners with Increased Usefulness of In-Vehicle Technologies And Features on All-New and Redesigned Models Dodge and Porsche Each Receive Three Segment-Level Awards; Audi, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan Each Receive Two WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 23 July 2014 - Although manufacturers are putting more and more technologies and functionality in their new and redesigned models, satisfaction with these features is not significantly higher among owners of those models than among owners of carryover models, according to the J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) StudySM released today. The APEAL Study, now in its 19th year, serves as the industry benchmark for new-vehicle appeal. Owners evaluate their vehicle across 77 attributes, which combine into an overall APEAL score that is measured on a 1,000-point scale.

Nick Murray's problematic Porsche 911 shows the power of a viral video

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

When Nick Murray took delivery of his 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S in June 2013, he had saved for it for the past five years. He didn't just pluck a random 911 off a dealer lot. He specially ordered his car with thousands of dollars in extras tailored just to him, and he captured all of the options on his YouTube channel. The love affair didn't last long. Eventually the channel became a place for Nick to air his growing list of grievances about his deteriorating 911. Eventually, his mix of righteous indignation and sarcasm went viral.
By late December, he had already had four warranty repairs done on the car. Things got much worse in March. The computers began resetting whenever Nick drove over large bumps. There was also an acrid, electrical smell that occasionally permeated the cabin. Murray filed for Lemon Law protection. Porsche Cars North America contacted him for the first time to fix the problem, but it didn't help.
Things culminated in April when Murray put up a new video that showed more troubles. He began arbitration with Porsche and asked for either his full purchase price back or an exact replacement. The company countered with a portion of what the car was worth, based on its mileage. Murray refused and turned to his YouTube watchers for help. He asked them to spread the word, and the video went viral with over 800,000 views as of this writing. Supporters posted it multiple times on Porsche's Facebook and Twitter sites.
