Ron, most welcome and thank you for your interest and view!!!

We appreciate your comment, Luke! Thanks for watching and yes, this is not the prettiest old 911 around, but it's a very good and reliable car that can go a distance without any worry at any moment's notice.

Happy birthday!! Consider a good air-cooled car as a solid investment. The 997s especially the 997.2s will be solid investments too we feel. life is short, keep us posted!!

Thank you kindly!

Thanks for the interest and comment. I agree, it's a visceral and very mechanical and analogue experience. The car is still modern enough to be used in today's traffic. I feel an early 912 would be much more difficult to use in this way. You might want to check out the road trip video too. Glad to hear of the 987 S kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNJldtmpktaqgXU.htmlsi=YzZMFUjudjEyiZP3

Excellent, spring is coming soon!!!

Appreciate the interest! Natural sound, not sound effects. 😉

So very true, Joe!! Check back into our uploads and take a look at the project SC we pulled home. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqmhfq6D39vFfWw.html

Great observations and we never use the classic Alpine head unit!!!! We drive it like an old Toyota and it is that reliable.

Most welcome, and go for it!!!

Thanks! Yes, it really is "brappy" when on the power. I have attributed it being increased due to the cat being gutted and the big chamber acting somewhat as an expansion pipe now, just before the exit. When you cross a bridge that has concrete barriers and have your window down, it's even more noticeable.

Thanks!!! We need to do more Porsche content and do have the red cabriolet project we need to get back to.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your feedback!

Glad we agree!! The SC is just a great solid predictable and reliable car. Most all of them are still today! Thanks for the interest!

It's an '82 SC. Appreciate the interest and comment.

Awesome!

True Greg, I do enjoy the vintage aspect of the SC and drive it like any other car on trips and daily in nice weather. The 991.1 is an excellent car!!!

Thanks! And thanks for the support!

Rev match so you don't put extra stress on the synchros. Double clutching is technically reserved for no synchromesh transmissions where you need to match gear speed. An example is a large truck. Or, a British car with a non-synchro 1st gear. Rev match won't do it, you need to release the clutch while you blip the throttle to engage the gear to match the speed of the gear you are coming out of.... or driveshaft speed some say. Thanks for the interest, Wayne!!

Scott, check out our true cold start in 13 degree weather! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNJldtmpktaqgXU.htmlsi=2x6pStog__jXMWhp

Yes, Sir, you are correct. Those are Bosch H4 headlights, also known as the European headlights to replace the poor performing North America mandated seal beams. Stainless trim rings added to gauges, and funky hard plastic horn center replaced with a leather updated center. I think you would be impressed with an SC and how it drives as well as the engine torque. You should see if you could drive one at some point and give us your feedback.

Great cars! The targas never got the love they deserved.

Not sure since it has been gutted for so long. I can say the MPG is excellent!!!

--and left handed too. I was not aware of my comfortable and natural grip or lack of grip of the wheel. Thanks for your interest.

Yes!!

They are great cars, and we agree. SC is an amazing car and very reliable, too.

Appreciate your interest and view!!!

Your best valuation is to review Bring A Trailer past sales and auctions. Condition dictates price. You can also look at Hagerty Valuation Guide too. Thanks for the interest!!

Great information and thoughts. We agree. This car is a joy to drive and has that nostalgic feel about it.

the wheel is simply a change of the center horn button cover. Snaps in and out if you want to go back to the clunky plastic original. And yes, even the operators manual instructions suggest you drive the car immediately at reasonable power and speed.

Correct, not a garage queen and if you study the video, even the clock still works and keeps exact time. Can't go wrong with an SC if you want a 911 to drive the wheels off of. --unlike the Ferrari guys who always are in competition as to who has the least amount of miles on the car. Thanks for your interest!

I actually replaced the USA standard clunky plastic center with this leather covered piece I found from a vendor in Germany several years ago online for a more updated and pleasing look. We still have the hard plastic original.

Ed, we will pray and ask nicely for you!!! Hope it comes through!! Thanks for watching!!!

US federal mandate in the 80's 85 MPH was the limit able to be shown back then.... also 55mph max speed limit nationally in the US.

We like to look at Bring-A-Trailer under past sales/auction results and find like cars for pricing. Give it a try. bringatrailer.com/search/?view=all&s=porsche%20911%20sc

Yes, 5-speed transaxle.

@@classicperformancethanks, does yours have any AC mods? or factory AC

@@devcondev1424 it still has the original compressor and running R12. Everything original and works probabally as decently as it did when new, which means on a hot heat soaked day, it doesn't keep up and able to cool the car down. On warmish and humid days, it's quite effective and refreshing.

USA mandate back in those day. All speedos could not indicate greater than indicated 85 mph.

'82 SC

Yes, this is the original wheel with a more appealing and "softer" center hub cover. Thanks for your interest!

Anoying isnt it!

@Jubie82 people just love to.complain about things that really don't matter. We just appreciate the interest, views and comments even if from lesser people.

Hört sich an wie an Lagerschaden. Ziemlich rau das ganze.

The motor was rebuilt down to splitting the case. has about 25k on it after fresh rebuild and no issues with dropped cyls or bearings. I believe what you are hearing is that the catalytic converter is gutted and still fitted to the exhaust system, so a big chamber giving the motor a more rumbly and raspy sound.

We would have to agree! Thank you!

@HoosierRooster, you are correct. This car still has the large cat on the exhaust and is gutted, so it has an odd sound not unlike that of an expansion chambered exhaust. We have an identical SC with cat removed and a straight pipe and it sounds very smooth and not raspy. The sound of this black SC is very apparent when you are running against a hard wall such as a jersey barrier and you can hear the exhaust note bouncing off the concrete. Our goal is to remove the cat and insert a straight pipe or a high flow cat. Good ear! CP
