So I've been keeping my eyes out for a taildragger. Unlike the 914, the 911 has had a 60 year production run, so understanding the insanities of the various model years and price points is pretty daunting.
I'm thinking the 1979-1980 911 SC is a sweet spot for my price point, which is around $15k. There was also the special "Weissach" edition around this time (factory option turbo-look) which I could pick up for a few extra bucks if I want the exclusivity. What do you guys think about this era of 911s and the SC in general? There is one for sale locally I'm going to check out this weekend. I'm not ready to buy yet but want to get some datapoints on condition vs. asking price. |

Love the SC and mid-80s 911's....there have been a number of mid-80s cars for sale here in the Bay Area for ~$15k recently. Have not seen them or their condition, but I would buy as late as possible for all the reasons previously mentioned. And the cost of transport from CA would probably offset the repairs needed for the eastern malaise caused by your winters....just saying.
