Hey Paul,
I can't seem to find the car you are referring to.
Make sure that any car that passes your initial inspection has a thorough Pre Purchase Inspection done to it by a shop specializing in Porsche's. You can find a 911SC in the 8 to 10K range, but these cars will require a lot of work and a lot of money going into them. With 74 to 77 911's you have to be aware that the original 2.7L engine is not the most reliable, and if signiificant work has not been done to the case they are notoriously bad. Sometimes you can find one that has been updated to a 3.0L or 3.2L engine. Watch out for rust! Sometime in the middle of 1976 911's began to be galvanized. Earlier than that they have a stronger tendancy to rust. Rust happens frequently around the battery, the jack insertion tubes, rocker panels, and anywhere the wheels spit water. Get Bruce Andersons book Porsche 911 performance handbook. He has a full chapter about purchasing your first porsche. Good luck.
Rich
