An '83 SC cab, means nothing to most, means the world to me. As did my '59 and someone elses '65 and '67 and don't forgrt the '87 and '93, God we are all in this together, don't dismiss another man's dream, we are all the same just take away the damn initials.

An 83 Cab is the first year of the 911 Cabriolet, so it is definielty more significant than your standard SC.

And while the SC may not be the most powerful 911, the CIS certainly is limiting, and they are hardly the least rare of any 911, you'd be hard pressed to find a more bulletproof model by any manufacturer.

I've owned 993s and a 964 Turbo and I would take a nice example of an SC over either of these. My most fond memories driving a 911 are in an SC, tossing the car all over runnng up and down every gear to redline and really just not having a care in the world and neither did the car. That 3.0 is one hell of an engine.
