What does a factory 82 SC tail look like?

Does anyone have a picture?

Thanks,

It is a one piece design incorporating the lid and tail base, w/ a separate p/u lip around the trailing edge and sides

Bill,

Normally I would defer to your input but I think the only tails Porsche offered in 1982 would have been the Turbo tail with the boxed off area to accommodate the intercooler:



and then perhaps the all PU tail, which was just bolted on a regualr decklid, for the RoW market:





The only time Porsche offered the tail you posted in the 1980's was on the 1980 Weissach 911, right?

The factory-installed "teatray"-type on the '82s is the turbo-spoiler, have the word PORSCHE in the center of the fiberglass below the rubber, also the Porsche crest just above on the rubber. That's how you can tell it is factory-original. See W.Dempsey's book, 101 Projects for Your Porsche 911..., p.198.

All 3 of those tails were offered from ~'75 to '83

The all f/g w/ rubber lip is most closely associated w/ the SCs, though the early 930(thru '77) used a variation on it


the tea tray is most closely associated w/ the 930

the p/u was a factory part that was usually added at the dealership.

Bill, in the one piece in your picture I don't see a 911 SC name plate. Was this how they came from the factory?

Here's a photo of a 5,000 mile 1980 Weissach 911:

Bill,

Can you reference where and on what 911 the early turbo/C3/Weissach tail was offered after the 1980 Weissach 911? I don't ever remember seeing offered as a factory option on any 911, RoW or US, after '80.

no, that one was from an earlier, the SCs were as pictured by EJ on the Weissach

Here is mine that 1st owner put on the car when it was new. He wanted the "Turbo Look" It is factory.

That's the teatray. I have a "turbo-look" car as well. Note the plug on top for the rear window wiper. Maybe the wiper wasn't a popular option.
