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. |

The coupe went toward a downpayment on our house......The targa went towards investing in my business a few years ago.
I'll get another one soon, we also have young kids, and so time is a premium but my oldest is into cars, and I'm itching to get another project that he and I can work on together. If I look back on all Porsche's I've had, my 914 was hands down the most fun, and the car I learned the most from. I had my 911's after the 914, and at the time, I made the switch to taildraggers because i drive alot highway miles, and the 911's are better highway cars! I actually took the 83 coupe to the 50th anniversary show in Hershey, round trip from boston, around 1,000 miles with no problems |
