QUOTE(will @ Jul 4 2007, 03:26 AM)  wow. now that is a beautiful car. what shoudl I look for in this model year? Biggest (common) problem is broken head studs. Not sure if they went to the Carrera type chain tensioners by '80. Those would be a plus. There are typical leaks. Compression/leakdown is a must. Generally, the 3.0 is a very solid motor if maintained properly (regular oil changes & valve adjustments). CIS is reliable, but when it goes bad, expect to spend $$$. However, unlike my MFI, parts are readily available. |

However, unlike my MFI, parts are readily available. Ditto on the broken headstud problem. Have them pull the valve covers during PPI to check for it. One of the reasons so many 911s with 125K - 150K miles are for sale is the reality of a $6-8K engine rebuild. There is thruth to the quote: They are all 20K cars. You either pay up front or later. Below is a pic of my old 78SC, Heidi. Sold to TRE Motorsports in N. Hollywood. It was rumored to be used for a new TV pilot with Holly Hunter as a private detective. Ulrich Attached image(s)
