Cool Every day rain or shine...........

My Pcar is a 1980 911SC with 3.0 ltr engine and 5 speed tranny. It is black metallic with a black/tan interior. I have owned it for a little over 6 years and in that time have put about 45,000 miles on it. Currently the odometer reads 125,000. Other than some interior repairs (headliner, etc.) and some maintenace items (ball joints, shocks, brake pads, etc.) the only mods have been SSI exhaust, MSD ingnition and a fuse block rebuilt to use ATO style fuses. It is extremely reliable and gets 17-18 mpg in town and 25-27 mpg on the road. I just put on my second full set of tires about 2,000 miles ago. A tranny rebuild for new synchros is in the planning stage as is a paint job. Meanwhile, with the old paint I don't mind driving on dirt or gravel roads. Driving this car makes it fun going to work!
