My sincere apology.
I've been reading and posting a couple of years now; mostly reading. With my miltary career in full-swing I'm usually on mission or in school and I have never introduced my car.
I used to drive Beetles and when I was looking for my fifth one in 2005 my wife said, "You're not getting another one, you're buying a Porsche." After the shock wore off we searched and purchesed this '83 SC with 114,000. I'm the third owner; originally sold in San Diego, then went to Michigan and was owened by a PCA member. It is currently in San Antonio. It was pretty well sorted with new clutch, turbo covers, turbo chain tensioners. The only thing I've done to it is changing tranny fluid to Swepco, doing the oil changes regularly and tinting the windows. (I'm not an all-out fan of tinted windows), it's done solely to keep the UV off the interior, which is in good shape.
On my last asssignment I took it to John Walker in Seattle since when I bought it I was such a 911 rookie that I never got a PPI (we all learn), and I didn't have to learn any hard lessons, John said the car is good to go. I had done a CARFAX and thought that was all I needed to do. I'd never buy another one so easily.
Thanks to everyone on Pelican for helping me know these cars.
