So I got this car from an auction and I have no idea what it’s worth is. It’s a 1980 Porsche 911sc slantnose with wide body. It has been in storage for 10 years and does need some TLC but the motor turns and has compression and all the gears cycle through perfect. I’m interested to know what you Porsche enthusiasts think about what I have and if your able to help Put a value on it or let me know if I have something that have any value if any. Please message me if anyone can help thank and I have lots of pics it just would only let me upload one. If your interested to see more please let me know and I’ll reply with them. Thanks

Fiberglass or factory steel conversion ?,sitting for a long time,generally not great for a CIS engine,targa roof/seals can very expensive if the roof leaks.
Has 915 transmission ,finding all gears has little to do with driving shift experience as these box's are known for expensive repair bills. Any rust ? these cars hide rust like a 914,you get the idea,not trying to sour your purchase but that's the way it is ,good luck. |

Dis agree on the rust, starting in 76 0r 77 the 911 bodies were fully gavalanized so had very few rust issues. I had a 1980 Targa stock body with over 100K miles when I got it. it had an oil leak which turned out to be the oil pressure idiot light sender way back on top of the engine. I had access to precision measurement insturmentation at the time so while i had the engine out pulled the heads & cylinders off and did a full inspection. Cylinder bores and valve guide bores were within new tolerance cross hone marks on the nikisil cylinder walls were like new. All i did was clean everything, do a valve lap job and re-assemble with new rings. .Even though it was a north-east car there was no rust anywhere. |
