Finally committed!

My new ride!

Not too sure about the color, I'll learn to love it, but the price was right and it checked out. And you guys thought I was just tire kicking!

Can wait to get it.

Is the exterior black, eggplant or dark brown?

Interior looks tan, the best color new, worst old and tired.

Looks like a real nice car, enjoy.

if the price was right enough, you can paint it whatever color you want. And backdate it while you're at it. Then tear out the interior and...and...

The fun is just starting. So where did you find this one?

Nice looking car, Ed! Congrats. Hey, I think the color is cool. Is it black or brown? If black, you'll be busy keeping it clean. If it's brown, you can always fly under the radar as it seems to be the color that's not on the CHPs most wanted list. More details on the car, please.

Nice.

A good friend had an '80 SC Targa in that dark brown metallic (that's what I think you've got - from what I can tell) and it was beautiful!

I think this is the same color. It looked great in person.

very nice car ! l forget how exotic l thought the 911 looked when l first saw the 76/77 turbo with the early tail that your car seems to be sporting.There is just nothing made that comes close to the 911 with it`s unique and timeless design.lt`s more then a car,and owning one is a gift.

Specs: 1979 Mocha brown (not the first choice in colors), but the car is very clean. Has tan interior, which pass and drive seat are a little worn, nothing a set of sheepskins won't cure. The car has 94K miles on it, 2nd owner, located in Castro Valley. PPI seems pretty strong with compresion checking out and only minor leakage at the return tubes. Plan on driving up and driving it back the 6 hours from location, should a kick in the pants! Thanks to all you for educating me on p-cars.

See you at the track!

EDB

Congrats Ed! As I am getting closer to picking up an SC I am interested in what he was asking and what you paid for it (if you don't mind me asking). Also where did you end up finding it, autotrader?

Ed,

Castro Valley is in our backyard and Mines Rd is just around the corner. Let us know if you'd like to get together for a drive. I bet we can get at least 6 cars on the road.

Nice car, congratulations.

Is the car still here in Castro Valley? I have a set of sheepskins that have basically never been used as they were only on the seats for a couple months. They were purchased through Pelican a couple years ago as a x-mas present. Shortly after that I started to track my car and replaced the drivers seat. Color = Pearl which is basically a tan/biege color. Let me know if you are interested.


Edit: Just re-read your post above. You have a PM.
