Preservation class Southern California 911SC Targa under
single-family ownership for over 42 years with 13,336 original
miles. Purchased new from Taylor Porsche | Audi in Vallejo,
California on December 5, 1980. Equipped from the factory with 16"
Forged Wheels, Speedometer in MPH, USA Symbols and Lettering for
switches and instruments, Fog Lamps, and Blaupunkt AM/FM Cassette
Stereo with Electric Antenna (dealer-installed).
The Casablanca Beige Metallic paintwork is exceptionally original
and has undergone recent paint correction and ceramic coating
treatment. The upholstery is well-preserved with no wear. The
original VDM steering wheel sits ahead of factory VDO
instrumentation, Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and has cold air
conditioning. The undercarriage is all original and has undergone
recent ice blasting, including the engine compartment and wheel
wells. The Fuchs alloy wheels are mounted to Pirelli P Zero Rosso
205 55 ZR 16 Front and 225 50 ZR 16 Rear tires.
The first owner was a dedicated Porsche enthusiast, yet he seldom
used the car, reserving its outings for sunny weekends. Together
with his spouse, he utilized the 911SC to explore the picturesque
routes of Napa Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. During the
initial year of ownership, a mere 5,000 miles were added, with an
additional 7,000 miles accrued from 1981 to 1997. Subsequently, his
focus shifted to family and the growth of his dental practice,
prompting him to store the prized 911SC in a garage for the next 22
years. In 2019, faced with relocating the vehicle to a new
residence, the owner took the initiative to revitalize his beloved
911. The 911 was transported to a local independent Porsche
specialist, who conducted a comprehensive $12,000 service and
performed the following: timing chain tensioner update kit,
replaced gas tank and sending unit, rebuild fuel distributor and
warm up regulator, new injectors and boots, fuel pump, all new
brake lines, new brake master cylinder, front and rear brake rotors
and pads, brake fluid flush, spark plugs, new Pirelli P Zero Rosso
tires, oil service and air filter, resurfaced flywheel, and new
seals. Unfortunately, by the time they finished sorting it out and
making it safe to drive, Covid hit, and it sat once again. By 2022,
the first owner sold his beloved Targa to a family friend in Orange
County.
Mechanically powered by its 3.0L flat-six that produces 180
horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 175 foot-pounds torque at 4,200 rpm
with a (915) 5-speed manual transmission. Most recently received
full service, including replacing the fuel pump again, new fuel
injectors and O rings, draining and cleaning the fuel tank, then
re-installing a new fuel filter, new fuel accumulator, steering
wheel hub bushing, replacing horns, and new Bosch battery. Complete
with two keys, vintage Porsche leather key fob, owner's manuals
with vinyl pouch, original maintenance booklet with stamps,
original Porsche floor mats (4), original touch-up paint tube, two
Targa top keys, original tool kit still in Porsche plastic bag,
front license plate bracket, spare tire bag with plastic gloves,
space saver tire (never used), jack and some service records. This
is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a low mileage 911SC
finished in a desirable color combination.
