i was reading a lot here on pelican so i thought it would be about time to contribute some stuff..
well, as many of you, i started dreaming of a 911 when i was little, wondering if i would ever drive one or own one. my first one was a (1:43) 1975 911 turbo in green metallic, my dream car and i was 7 years old.
a couple of years later - still in love with 911s - it was time to buy one. but which model? honestly, i test-drove them all - aircooled ones to be 100% correct. started with a '95 993, a '91 964 then, a '88 WTL Carrera 3.2, then a '68 911L, a '71 911T, a '84 Carrera 3.2 and last but also least a '83 911SC. my gut feeling told me that my search has an end. this was how an 911 should feel like. but i was more in love with the looks of the early cars. then i learned about the interchangeability of parts and learned about backdating. well, quite a project. before that i have changed oil and exchanged brake pads. but a full restauration and backdating project? okay ..
this is what i bought, a '83 911SC with a little over 300.000 miles, bad respray in burgundy with burgundy interior. spent most of her life in san diego, moved to florida with the po and this is the moment when it arrived at my place.
