1980 Porsche 911sc Coupe Rare Classic Casablanca Beige Metallic Limited Slip Coa on 2040-cars
Grand Blanc, Michigan, United States
|
My vehicle is being re-listed because of a non-paying bidder. PLEASE NO OVERSEAS BIDDERS OR BIDDERS WITH A SCORE OF LESS THAN '5'. Up for auction is my exquisite 1980 Porsche 911SC sunroof coupe. It is being offered with NO RESERVE! It is finished in its original and rare color of Casablanca Beige Metallic. This is the original color but the vehicle has had paintwork in the past to eliminate dings and scratches. Please read my entire listing and look at all photographs. This is an extremely nice 'driver quality' vehicle that should provide you with many hours of pleasure (as it has me). Classic Porsche and Excellence Magazines both report that the 911SC is on the fast track to being the next big collectible in Porsche automobiles. The buy-in is low on these vehicles and the potential investment opportunity is high! But whether you're looking at it as an investment, or just enjoy the way this car makes you feel, this one's a winner. From the job site, to the drive-through, this Porsche never fails to elicit an enthusiastic 'thumbs up' from the envious masses. Originally purchased in Texas, it has enjoyed a pampered life by all of it's owners. I purchased it in 2012 from what was purported to be its third owner. I will provide you with contact information for both the third and the second owner (before them, the trail got cold). The original owner's manual, warranty booklet, keys and one remote as well as its original tool kit, spare tire, jack, etc... are included. The tire inflation kit is missing. Also comes with a pile of receipts from myself and previous owner. A Bentley Publishers Service Manual will be included as well as an extensive album of photos, Porsche Club of America Panorama Magazines and the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Runs and drives well. Air Conditioning has been removed (no, I don't have it). I added Whale
Tail and Carrera stripes. Also comes with original engine cover in
original color if you want a different look, just bolt it on and go!
Miles shown are NOT ACTUAL. Odometer is inoperative. Engine runs well,
doesn't smoke has some small oil leaks (common). Runs, drives, stops as
it should, trans 'pops out' of first gear (I just leave in second).
Power windows work intermittently. Window frames are body color, should
be black. Body is in extremely nice condition with just a few stone chips
(largest is pictured located on frunk). Interior is near new condition, however there is damage to the headliner behind the driver's seat (you won't notice while you are driving, and you have to lie down on your back to see it, but who knows? Maybe you'll get lucky). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (Matt) at any time. I check email once a day, but will be available by telephone at eight 1 zero-6 two 5- six two 76. Bid with confidence. You won't be disappointed. If you have a feedback score of four or less, please contact me before bidding. If you are from out of the country, sorry, this one is for U.S. bidders only. I am more than happy to work with you arranging payment, but will require a Paypal deposit of $1000 within 48 hours of close of auction and will require funds in my hand within seven days unless we have come up with another REAL arrangement. US buyers only please. Please have funds in hand when you bid. I will accept cash or other forms of verifiable monies but will not release the car until all funds have cleared my account. Not looking for returnable bottles, IOU's or offers to become the Prince of a foreign land. Bidders from out of the United States or with a feedback of less than '5'
need to contact me before bidding or they may be eliminated from the
auction. This is a great car and will make some lucky owner very happy. Thank you and good luck!

eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype
Fri, 12 Apr 2013"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.
The 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona: What we learned, what we saw
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Two days after the flag dropped on the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, people are still trying to figure out what it might portend for the rest of the season. In 24 hours, two minutes and 24 seconds, 695 laps were completed by the car that crossed the line first. During that time, 67 cars began the race, 18 of them retired. There was that accident, and a red flag. There were supposedly slower classes beating supposedly faster classes. There were 16 caution periods, including that yellow flag. And then there was The Decision. And Then The Uproar. And then The Reversal.
There was also some pretty good racing, so let's have one last look at the weekend. Oh, and there was that 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO Series II...
If you want to skip the reading bits and go to the photos, there's a high-res gallery of 158 images above and a couple more below. Enjoy.
Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022
Thu, Feb 10 2022For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.
