Vehicle Description
From the very moment you put the key in the ignition of this 1980
Porsche 911 SC, you will know precisely why Porsche is among the
most respected names in the entire automotive world. Prepare to be
amazed as you check out this quintessential legendary sports
car.
Isn't it amazing how some colors just look like they belong on a
particular body style? No question about it, the Copper Brown
Metallic finish that adorns this automobile is a perfect match for
the sleek lines of the 911 SC. This car was repainted about 15
years ago, but still maintains a nice bright shine. The finish
looks very fresh for its age with virtually no signs of use,
including chip-free front fenders and hood. This car presents
itself extremely well cosmetically. All plastic trim is in good
shape and perfectly accentuates the overall appearance. And there
is no feature more recognizable on any sports car than that
unmistakable whale tale rear spoiler. Factory 16-inch Turbo rims
shod with nearly-new Cooper radials add yet another nice touch. And
to top it all off, the wraparound red taillight/reflector displays
the Porsche name with a boldness that reminds you what a legendary
car this is.
If you're a Porsche aficionado, you'll have a hard time containing
your enthusiasm once you hear the unforgettable sound of a 911 door
being opened. It's deliberate and authoritative. If you've ever
heard it, you know what we're talking about. Looking inside, you'll
see a wonderfully attractive two tone Chocolate Brown/Tan interior
with new seat covers and carpet. It is without a doubt the perfect
color combination to complement the exterior. When you crawl inside
this 911, you know you're sitting in a car that was designed with
the driver in mind. Grasp the upgraded three-spoke Momo steering
wheel and look around as you bask in the comfort of the plush
seats. You'll appreciate the way the inside is laid out. Race-bred
instrumentation places the tach directly in front of the driver,
while all other gauges are clearly marked and well within view.
Rest assured, this interior possesses all of the amenities you'd
expect from a high-end sports coupe, including power windows and
door locks, a premium AM/FM CD with aftermarket speakers, and
rotary A/C with added vents under the dash. This thing is loaded!
And as you pull out onto the street, you'll experience that feeling
of unbridled freedom as soon as you open the power sunroof. This is
luxury in motion!
Revered for its performance and durability, the 911's
tried-and-true 3.0L flat-six motor has long been acknowledged as
one of the best Porsche engines ever built. Air-cooled and
fuel-injected, this potent power plant has a sound and feel all its
own. It was rated at 188 HP for 1980 and generates an insane amount
of torque that enables it to launch like a rocket ship. If you're
looking for a sports car with some serious motivation, this is it.
The timing chain tensioner has been redone on this engine, thus
eliminating its lone weak point. The air box pop-off has been
upgraded, while a '74 cat-less exhaust allows this little street
stormer to breathe a bit easier. The five-speed manual transmission
was completely rebuilt a few years back with a short-throw shifter
that nails every gear, every time. Take a peek underneath and
you'll see a super-sanitary suspension that showcases the benefits
of German engineering. A recent set of Bilsteins add to this car's
unbelievable stability and cornering prowess, while a four-wheel
disc brakes provide ample stopping power.
It takes some cars decades to be considered a classic. This 1980
Porsche 911 SC was an icon on wheels the moment it rolled off the
assembly line. This is the epitome of a driver's car. Shouldn't
that driver be you? Call today!
