As many have said, our old 911's have light air cooled engines, with very large thermal operating ranges and large thermal expansion.
In addtion, they are older designs created before the EPA regulated HC output. If you've ever seen older ferraris, the smoked prodigiously on downshifts because the valve guider leaked tremendously. The new Ferraris don't because they could never be certified for sale if they did.
My 82 SC with 167,000 miles on the clock uses a qt of oil every 1750 miles or so. A little more when it's hot out, less when the weather is cooler.
