Default Oops I did it again - the 1980 911SC story begins

As some here know I like to tinker with projects and after selling the 914 GT and the 911S there was nothing to left to play with until the GT4 arrives. Found a 1980 911 SC on BAT that punched all the right buttons.

ROW, very little rust, fresh 84 - 3.2 engine w/ high compression JE pistons, cams, Weber 40's, fresh transmission and SSI's

Needs Fuchs, thanks Dr. K, a full suspension refresh, seats and a few odds and ends.

Should be here Monday and I suspect she will make a nice winter project.

A few pics from the seller














Details here:

Karl,

Looks like a sweet ride. Have fun.

Let me know if you decide you ever want to sell that tail.

Yes - I was traveling when the bidding ended and didn't have time to place a bid. I called the guy up when it didn't meet reserve but he already had an offer from the high bidder, it fell through so we matched that offer.......
