1982 Porsche 911sc Row Race Car Project 911 964 965 Euro Grey Market on 2040-cars

I purchased this car in September of 2011 from a body shop about 3 miles from my house (Tampa, FL).  The owner of the shop initially told me it needed an engine because it had “a bad oil pump.”  I decided to have a local independent Porsche mechanic go with me to further inspect the car before the transaction.  We determined the car made immediate oil pressure, within factory specs.  I bought the car that day.  A week and a half later after a tune-up, valve adjustment, oil change, and 6 new fuel injectors, the car pulled hard and ran like a top.  I drove the car back to the body shop and stunned the owner.  We also did a compression & leak down test which showed some air getting past the valve seals.  Depending on the new owner’s desired use for the car, valve seals may be a good idea before hard competitive use.

After driving it for a few months on the weekends without issue, I experienced a failure of the pedal assembly which had corroded.  This likely occurred due to water entry through the windshield seal (fairly common).  So, as most small projects turn into large ones, I decided to start taking the car apart.  This car had fallen into disrepair prior to becoming mine, but as I disassembled it I could tell it had been truly loved at one point.  All of the 930S flares were OEM, had been properly welded on, and lead-filled.  It also had some goodies like 3-piece wheels (17x8.0/17x10), 965 bodywork, Momo steering wheel, Rennline aluminum foot rests, etc.  The only rust was just below the pedal assembly, and in the cowl (the result of a poor Maaco-esque paint job that had trapped moisture around the body seals).  To date, all this has been resolved.  The hole in the floor was just big enough to fit a few fingers through, and has been skillfully patched.  The pedal assembly was also pretty rotten so I replaced it with a factory unit and upgraded to the bronze bushings.  The cowl was also patched on both sides near the fender seals.  The car was left in bare metal and clearcoated so there are no surprises for the new owner.  The passenger side quarter panel is the only one I had a chance to straighten & prime.  I have full pictures of the process which I will send upon request.  The sunroof was also sealed using a steel panel from FennLane Motorsport in the UK.  It was spot welded, all-metal filled, and skim coated.  A roll bar (SCCA/NASA/PCA legal) from Patrick Motorsport was also installed, and the full interior sprayed white.

Over the past couple months I’ve toyed with the idea of selling the car, and even listed it on thesamba.  However, I decided the time has come to let her go.  If you have additional questions, or would like to view the car in the Tampa area prior to bidding, please message, email, or call me to discuss.  Good Luck and Happy Bidding!

The original glass, seats, and spares will be included with the sale.  I will assist the buyer with shipping arrangements.  For international buyers, I can assist with transport of the car to the Florida shipping port of your choice for a reasonable fee.
