1980 Porsche 911SC Weissach Edition

1980 Porsche 911SC Weissach Edition

Published March 19, 2015 by Rob

It is sometimes difficult to keep up with the many special edition vehicles Porsche has produced over the years. A byproduct of their limited model offerings is that there is a fairly persistent need to provide special edition models in order to keep buyers interested and coming back to the showroom. Some of these models, especially those that have come out of the Sonderwunsch and Exclusive programs, are some of the best (and rarest) 911s on the market. The edition we see here, a 1980 Porsche 911SC Weissach Edition with a mere 9,508 miles, is one of those special editions that is more cosmetic than anything else, meaning these aren’t one of the super rare, jaw-dropping, machines like a 964 Turbo S. The primary distinguishing features of the Weissach are the exterior color, especially when Platinum Metallic as we see here, and the interior, which is a contrast of Doric Grey and Burgundy. This one also claims to have had the brakes from the 930 fitted from the factory, but I’m unaware of that being a standard offering on the Weissach Edition.

1982 Porsche 911SC

Published March 14, 2015 by Paul

The 911SC used to be the go-to 911 for those seeing a low cost of entry and a modicum of reliability with the 911 game. However, the market for early and late air-cooled 911s is pushing the values up for the Super Carrera and in comparison to other models, they are a relative bargain and a good starting point for the beginner 911 owner. One of the more recent 911s I’ve driven was a 911SC Targa, like the Euro market example we see here for sale in Pennsylvania. It was during the production run of the SC that the 911s fate would be decided. Peter Schutz, CEO at the time, would see to it that this iconic sports car would live on.

1983 Porsche 911SC Cabriolet

As temperatures continue to be bitterly cold, what better time to look at a convertible! At the very least this will allow those of us mired in winter to daydream of the sun and wind hitting our face rather than ice, snow, and the ever prevalent road salt. I’ve featured numerous Targas during these cold months and for a while the Targa was the only open-top option Porsche made available for the 911. It was not until 1983, with the model we see here, that the full open-top 911 experience could be had by Porsche buyers. An ’83 Cabriolet is an interesting model to pursue as it possesses the talking point trivia as the first and only MY 911SC available as a Cabriolet, while also sitting in a very nice spot on the 911 value-curve. Interesting to talk about, top-down driving, and stout engines promising many miles of motoring enthusiasm: always an excellent combination. Here we have a Guards Red 1983 Porsche 911SC Cabriolet, located in Memphis, with around 73,000 miles on it.

Coupe Week: 1979 Porsche 911SC Coupe

Published February 12, 2015 by Rob

Rare-color 911s at times seem to exist in their own world, a reality that has become especially prevalent as the air-cooled-911 market has grown substantially. The questions with which one must always grapple are “how much do I really care about color and how much am I willing to pay for it?” And of course there is also the matter of the long-term gamble betting on far elevated values down the road. This all brings us to the car we see here: a Light Green (Lindgrün) Metallic 1979 Porsche 911SC Coupe, located in the Netherlands, with contrasting Beige leather interior and 125,975 km on the clock (78,277 miles). This is a really lovely color combination only available for a couple of years at the end of the ’70s so it certainly qualifies as rare, but with an asking price around $70K the seller definitely is looking to capitalize on that rarity.

Motorsports Monday RS Style: 1979 and 1987 Porsche 911s

Published February 2, 2015 by Carter

It goes without saying that the Porsche 911 is one of the most popular modified chassis ever conceived, and a fair amount of those modifications are track-based. The results are sometimes mixed; however, one of the more popular trends which I think is pretty slick is backdating 911s. It’s ironic, since for some time it was more popular to update the looks of many of the older race cars to new 964 or 993 bodies. However, the surge in pricing in the 1960s and 1970s 911 market has resulted in many backdated cars coming to market. Obviously, the advantage is that you get a better driving and more powerful car with more options than original, but it’s got the look of the sought after early models. However, probably the biggest advantage is that of price; with a lower entry cost, prospective buyers aren’t afraid to use the 911 where it is well suited; driving fast on a race track. Today I have two different takes on backdated 911s, both with a nod towards the mega-buck RS model. Which is the one you’d choose?
