I know very little about the 911, but it seems the SC model years (1978-1985?) are the least expensive at this time. I know the the faithful here has plenty of experience with these cars so looking for some expert advice. Budget is in the 35k range.

A big plus will be the wife can drive it and stay out of my 914. You got it, fight broke out while doing a nice Sunday drive through the country, I was going to fast. I was doing around 50 in a 45 and a honda accord was on my bumper - still I was going to fast.
