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. |

I have an 80 sc .. modded by PO with 964 "upgrade body" and love it .. handles very well and like others have said eazy to work on but comfortable ...
Plus I got mine about four years ago for less than you can get a nice 914 for ... traded an 88 vette for the teener that I now have ... I have driven a few other Porsche's and I highly recommend the SC series to anyone ... Only other really good option is an early car with a 3liter installed .. also very nice |
