1980 Porsche 911SC – Revisit

The Talbot Yellow 1980 Porsche 911SC we featured in February is back up for another reserve auction and with the same Buy It Now price. The price is still at the top of the market for a 911SC, but given the color, perhaps this time it’ll meet its reserve.

This particular car intrigues me so I’ll get right to it. Here we have a 1980 Porsche 911SC with a little under 60K miles. The intriguing part to me, though, is the color: Talbot Yellow over Brown. We simply do not come across many of these cars. I’m always a fan of bright colors on particular cars, even though for my own car I almost always choose black. My personal contradictions aside, there is a particular allure to such a popping color and while not every owner enjoys the lack of subtlety these cars provide there are few that would deny that these cars represent something a little more special than what we get from most of the popular color options. Talbot Yellow over Brown is definitely a period-correct choice and sure to please many enthusiasts looking for a 911SC that stands apart from the crowd.

Much of the appeal of the 911SC lies in its value relative to other options, but, sadly, with a car in good shape and in a rare color like Talbot Yellow much of that value is negated. The asking price here of $36,500 is near the top of the market for a 911SC, but many of the rarer colors are highly coveted by collectors, which naturally drives up the price of such a car. Still, even given the higher cost this remains an incredibly eye-catching example of the SC and is sure to make for an excellent investment.
