I believe all 911's have the battery cable covered in a heavy PVC 'sheath' and secured to the underbody by 1/2" tabs that are spot-welded at 18" intervals all along its' intended path to the starter. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee previous owners or inept wrenches will see to it that the cable stays in the original, secured location! In Jack's cross-country adventure with the 'pre' version of Black Beauty, the cable had been held up by bread-wrapper ties or something equally substantial ... and somewhere in the nether regions of New Mexico/Arizona ... an axle managed to rub through protective sheath and primary insulation on a dangling/dragging cable. The resulting short brought Jack's trip to an abrupt end!
