Vehicle Description
1981 Porsche 911SC - 3.0L 6-Cylinder - Lots of Original
Documentation including Window Sticker - Guards Red over Tan - One
of 3,120 produced - (If you happen to be viewing this vehicle on a
website other than our main website, it's possible that only some
of our many photographs are presented due to website limitations.

which retain Porsche's successful early formula of a lightweight
sports car, with a driver focused cabin, a taut suspension, and an
efficient rear mounted engine. 911SC's were often overlooked in
recent years as enthusiasts gravitated toward the air cooled
Carreras first offered in '84. Sure, the Carreras had a slightly
higher displacement but the 911SC's still have a great power to
weight ratio, excellent handling, and of course the classic
styling. This particular 911 SC is a highly documented and very
well cared for car. According to the Original Window Sticker, the
car was originally delivered in Ogden Utah to Mt. Ogden VW/Porsche,
but has spent the last 15 years in the Southeastern portion of the
country. The classic Guards Red exterior paint, which has been
ceramic coated, hugs this 911's curves. Lights and lenses are in
great condition, including the glass fog lights mounted low on the
front end which are prone to cracking. This car's simple good looks
are made even sweeter by the great condition of the exterior, and
the option to take part of the roof off for open air motoring. Tan
interior provides a nice contrast to the Guards Red exterior, and
is a great pairing with that classic red. Think how many posters
featured a Red Ferrari or Porsche 911 with tan interior during the
late 80's.........more proof that Red and Tan is an awesome
pairing. The interior is in great condition, and in addition to the
lighter tan seats and carpeting, the dashboard and upper trim are
finished in a darker brown. The familiar 911 dashboard features
clear gauges, and correct buttons, knobs, and trim pieces. Engine
output of the 911SC's gradually went up as the years went by after
hitting showrooms in '78. As an '81, this 911SC came from the
factory with 204 horsepower, with a 5-speed manual transmission
handling gear selection. Looking through the folder of
documentation, it is apparent that the car was very well cared for
over its lifetime. Service records show that since it's move to the
southeast part of the country, a number of notable service tasks
have been completed - A/C system service, a new fuel pump
installed, a new alternator, new clutch/clutch cable, spark plugs,
adjust valves, brake pads front and rear, and of course regular oil
changes just to name a few. The car wears 16-inch Fuchs black-spoke
staggered-width forged wheels which are in great condition,
including the outer polished rims which are prone to pitting. Its
engine bay is tidy. The undercarriage displays no signs of abuse;
the front valance is free of damage, body sills show none of the
damage common from improper jacking, and suspension components all
appear original and undamaged. The car is a pleasure to take out on
the road and runs strong. The handsome styling and color
combination on this Targa demonstrates that the Germans knew how to
create beautiful sporting automobiles. You don't have to own a
Carrera to enjoy a rear engine, air cooled Porsche of this body
style. A 911SC like this one is an awesome car that will put a
smile on your face. Whether the next owner of this car is a driver
or collector (or both, as is pretty common for Porsches), they're
sure to find this is a 911 offering many years, and many miles of
joy ahead. Be sure to check out all the photos and video on our
