1980 Porsche 911 911 Sc Targa on 2040-cars
Rochester, New York, United States
I am always available by mail at: gwendaschiavi@net-c.nl .
I introduce this vehicle as an original issue free excellent example of a Porsche 911 SC (Super Carrera). These air
cooled Porsches are climbing in value and are sought by discerning collectors.
The car is in excellent condition with perfect blemish-free paint-no scratches, dings, stone chips or excuses. The
body is as straight as a pin and has not been modified. The color does look much better than in the pictures. It is
rich looking hue of a blend of gold and bronze.
Most important is that there is NO RUST whatsoever and no part of the car shows any suspicion of rust and this
includes the body joints, floor pans, underneath and under moldings. The car was garaged and only used on rain free
days during summer months. This accounts for the low mileage.
All glass and trim is perfect-no scratches or wear. The electric window run well.
The targa top is fine and does not leak.
The interior and leather seats are very well preserved without scratches, tears or marks.(except for 2 inches of
wear on the driver side seat bolster) The dash, door panels and rear deck are excellent. There are no cracks or sun
damage.
The wheels are original factory Fuchs. They are in excellent condition without scratches or scrapes. The
chrome/silver part of each wheel is excellent.
The car has a new set of Yokahama tires as well as a new Porsche factory battery.
The engine has received a complete tune up, plugs, valve adjustments etc. It runs very very smoothly without any
hint of unwanted noises or valve clatter. There are absolutely no issues to this well maintained clean engine.
The transmission is the stock 5 speed manual in perfect condition. It shifts well and smoothly with no hesitation
or crunch when put into its gears. There is no hesitation when engaging first gear.
In conclusion, this is a superior example of what a Porsche SC is all about. The 3.0L engine is described as the
most reliable of the air cooled engines. This example does all that it was designed for-it runs straight, handles
like a Porsche and brakes perfectly. There is nothing to be done to improve it, except for the minor scuff on the
bolster of the driver’s seat.
The reason for the sale is that I purchased a 1967 911 which I must completely restore to the original condition of
the 1967 911 that I owned in 1969.

'Faster. Farther.' dives into the history of Porsche racing tech
Wed, 07 Aug 2013No doubt, Porsche has produced some of the best endurance racecars around, such as the turbocharged, slant-nose 935 of the 1970s and the ground-effects-enhanced 956 and 962 of the 1980s. But the company's most famous racecar, its first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was the 917.
The 917 embodied many of Porsche's technological achievements up to that point, such as the company's first 12- and 16-cylinder engines (the flat-16 was never used in competition), fiberglass bodies that implemented early aerodynamic practices and the use of new, exotic materials, such as magnesium and titanium.
The racecar was commissioned by the head of Porsche Motorsports, Ferdinand Piëch, to win overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, after he realized a loophole in the rules that allowed cars to compete with engines up to five liters in the Sport category if they were also production models. Piëch saw opportunity: the top prototype class was restricted to three liters; the production minimum to compete in Sport was 25 cars. And so, with much effort, Porsche assembled 25 "production" 4.5-liter 917s and had them parked in a neat line for the race inspectors to verify their legitimacy. It didn't take long before people realized the new Porsches were much faster than the prototype racers, with a top speed approaching 250 miles per hour.
Porsche releases new images of LMP1 racecar
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Porsche has released another batch of images of its LMP1 competitor preparing for its debut season in 2014. This isn't the first we've seen of the new car, as June saw four images of the new racer undergoing testing. Where those images looked merely like someone taking pics during the test, the 11 new images seen above have all the hallmarks of highly polished PR shots.
That aside, the camo-covered cars still provide another look at what the new LMP1 car will look like when it arrives next season. The taillights follow the example set by Audi, by vertically mounting ultra-thin LEDs on the tips of the rear wing, while the LED headlights sport the four-prong look that Porsche has been pushing of late. Besides those two items, its difficult to make out many details due to the amount of camo.
Porsche's LMP1 effort will be focused on the FIA World Endurance Championship, which will see the revered brand return to the top flights of the 24 Hours Of Le Mans with F1 ace Mark Webber behind the wheel. As we've mentioned before, the German brand has set up a dedicated microsite that will cover its newest racer's progress.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
