1982 Porsche 911 SC

This is a beautiful and rare 1982 Porsche 911 SC, "sunroof delete" car, in amazing original mechanical and cosmetic condition. With only 3 (all local) owners, as well as records and documents since new, this car runs, shifts, drives, stops, and does everything it should, in an excellent manner. Zero rust, and very little wear, to indicate it's 68K (only 2,000 per year!) of gentle, "seasonal" use.
A few highlights:* 68,000 original documented miles* Official Certificate of Authenticity ("C.O.A.") from Porsche* Rare sunroof delete car (sunroofs were optional, but appeared on the majority of U.S. cars)* Freshly serviced & runs great
The car was originally 'rosewood metallic', but was near perfectly resprayed (a much more attractive) Guards Red, in an excellent (glass & seals all out, etc), no-expense spared fashion, and there is no hint of a color change anywhere on the car. All of the requisite 911 SC updates have been made, including pressure fed "Carrera" chain tensioners, and air-box pop off valve. While never driven daily, and obviously not accumulating many miles, the car has never sat for extended periods of time, and has always been regularlyexercised. It has also just been freshly serviced and gone through, is in excellent mechanical shape, and is ready for a long tour, or spirited drive. The car has excellent oil pressure, and a nice steady and consistent idle. While this car has never been tracked, the sunroof delete option, saves weight, and adds to the already great handling, making this SC a great auto-cross candidate, if one desires. The original Fuchs are in excellent condition, and the tires show good tread. It has been fitted with a more modern cd player and speakers.
While certainly not a perfect concourse car (what fun is that?), this is an excellent example of a wonderful driver, 911 SC. There is slight patina to the original steering wheel leather, and while the original dash has no cracks, the leather has shrunk in a few small spots (we're being picky now), but none of this affects drivability or usability, and wouldn't even be noticeable to the average observer. The seats, floors, etc are all in very nice condition, with little to no wear, as one would expect, with a vehicle that has had constant care, love and maintenance.
Considered by many marque enthusiasts, as thequintessential air-cooled 911, the SC is rapidly getting the respect of the collector market, and is sure to quickly enjoy the appreciation garnered by the early 911 and 356 cars. Invest in one of the last, original low mileage cars, at a reasonable price, before it's too late!
