The previous owner ran an independent Porsche repair shop in Fairfax and had purchased the car from a customer to turn into an RS replica. He had his shop go through the mechanicals of the car end to end which generated a bill of some $27,000
With still lots of cosmetic work to do and a collection of other P-cars he already owned he decided to shelve the idea and sell the SC.
I bought the car with 70 miles on the rebuilt engine so first step was running in the engine then a valve adjustment. The Carrera wing came off in short order and a Getty Design ducktail took its place. The interior was gradually removed along with the factory soundproofing and I was pleased to find a solid structure underneath.
Some light surface corrosion from a leaking rear window seal but some POR-15 quickly took care of that...
