1982 Porsche 911SC Coupe

1982 Porsche 911SC Coupe

Published June 23, 2015 by Rob

Let’s shift back to value 911s and as is so often the case that finds us taking a look at a 911SC. This particular SC is distinguished from other examples of similar value by its very striking, and rare, Green Metallic exterior over Tan interior combination. The seller hasn’t provided the necessary documentation to verify, nor made any statements to suggest, that this 911 wears its original colors (and we do know it was repainted a while back), but for those less interested in the long term value of this 911 that may not be an issue. It should nonetheless affect the final selling price to a small degree, but either way we are firmly in the realm of driver-quality machines here. The mileage is on the higher end – I’ve followed what is shown on the odometer of 168K – but the overall condition, along with the long history of documentation, shows that this SC has seen a good degree of care over the years and as such should make for a fine example for any buyer looking to get into a classic 911.

1979 Porsche 930

1979 Porsche 930

I am going to return now to a long-time personal favorite of mine: a Black 911 Turbo. This particular example is the full menace, triple-black, configuration and while my own preferences lean toward black and tan, triple black always has enjoyed favor among a wide array of fans of the 911 Turbo. This is the version that brings the greatest level of aggression to match the car’s dynamics and it’s become the poster car configuration of many Turbos over the variety of 911 models. The example seen here, a triple-black 1979 Porsche 930 located in Nevada with a little under 60K miles, comes from the early years of the Turbo’s existence, though not one of the earliest 3.0 liter, non-intercooled, models. In many ways, this is the version that propelled the 911 forward through its combination of exhilarating performance wrapped in a package that retained a good deal of luxury and refinement. The 930 was Porsche’s statement to the world that they could compete with any automaker’s best while still producing a civilized machine when the driver sought a more leisurely drive. Not all supercars had to come with significant sacrifices!

1979 Porsche 911SC Coupe – less than 10,000 miles

1979 Porsche 911SC Coupe – less than 10,000 miles

Here we have another 911 coming from the value range of 911 models, but this 911 will be no value. This one-owner Black Metallic 1979 Porsche 911SC, located in Michigan with Saddle Tan leather interior, sits with a mere 9,158 miles on it. That makes it the lowest mileage 911SC I have come across and certainly one of the lowest mileage in existence. I’ll admit I find it quite strange that such a car would have come this far having covered so few miles, but here we are. This isn’t a Carrera RS or some other uber rare 911, nor was the iconic stature of the 911 secure during the time of the SC’s production. Regardless of how we got here this is a time capsule and it looks in the sort of shape we would expect from a car with such low mileage. It also happens to come in a more rare Black Metallic exterior rather than the standard Black.

1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

For the second of my value-911 posts I will move on to the model that followed upon the success of the 911SC. There is little that separates the 3.2 Carrera aesthetically from its predecessor, so for those in love with the design of the G-Series 911 in general either model makes for an excellent option. As the model name implies, the fundamental distinguishing characteristic of these 911s is their 3.2 liter flat-six as an upgrade over the 3.0 liter engine of the SC. Both engines are fantastically reliable when maintained properly and though their overall character may show small differences these two models stand shoulder to shoulder on nearly every 911 enthusiast’s list of cars to own. With the 3.2 Carrera available from 1984-1989, I have purposely chosen an example from the years prior to 1987 as the change to the G50 5-speed transmission for that model year has garnered the later models quite a bit more attention and as such prices can rise dramatically relative to their earlier peers. The particular example we see here, a Guards Red 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa located in California with 42K miles on it, will come at a premium due to its low mileage, but it seemed too nice to pass up and ultimately, even with the higher initial cost, it should stand an excellent chance of maintaining, or even gaining, in value over the course of its ownership.
