1983 Porsche 911SC Targa Wine Red

[Groesbeck Hurricane]

It is with great sadness that this stage of my life is coming to an end. We have been fighting this for years but the need to set-up for retirement outweighs childhood dreams. My wife bought me this car in, as best as I remember, 1997 as a surprise early Christmas present. We have had her in the family since that time.

I will post current photos this weekend but we are both working through the daylight hours so that time is gone.

Up front, the odometer is NOT correct on this car. Mileage is estimated at 140-150,000. Mileage can ONLY be estimated. The original odometer is long gone. The car is NOT ready for concours. She is a driver with very little changed from 1983. There is a crack in the center of the German windscreen. I can replace the windscreen but that will mean it gets one US or otherwise sourced from the insurance company.

Engine was re-built more than 10 years ago. 993 studs, sodium valves, timing chain upgrade. I have almost all the receipts from everything done since 1997 and you will receive that documentation. If you search my name you will see my posts on this car. Pretty much anything I worked on or had done with her is on this board.

Tab Tanner in Ohio worked on the fuel injection system for me about eight years ago to get her running correctly. This is the last major work she has seen.

Car has never been in a wreck. In August of this year some kind individual apparently rubbed a shopping cart on the passengers rear wheel well even though she was parked alone and well away from everyone. This would normally be buffed and re-sprayed. Do not know if anyone would want to freshen up the still original paint job. I have computed the cost of the repair into a discount in asking price.

I have replacement seat covers for the car, spare parts, filters, mostly complete tool kit, Porsche specific tools from the re-build, factory manuals, Bentleys, 101 Projects, Wayne's engine book, and possibly some other sundry items such as model cars to go with her to her new home. I also have a VERY inaccurate carfax from about a decade ago.

This car has spent most of her life in the Houston and Waco areas of Texas. She is currently in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I believe our family is the third owner. Title has been clear since we bought her.

1983 Porsche 911SC Targa Wine Red, asking $22,000.00. Please PM me if you are interested or have any questions.

Photos of the garage floor. The two spots furtherest from my heal are a spill from when I changed the oil in my Honda. This is where the Porsche has been garaged since July.

Complements of some nice target shopper...





Wires from the 23 channel CB which still worked last time I tried it. Needs an antenna now.

Going back through questions: Antenna is broken, I bumped it with my buttocks. No, the engine is not leaking oil all over the place. I am not looking for a trade. Car runs well, we drove it around Tulsa this week.

Price is firm.

Thank you for looking!

Car is still up, no one has looked at her yet.

Lots of messages, but NO I am NOT willing to sell her for $15,000.

From my knowledge of the car she is the original paint, not a repaint. Yes, it is NOT a common colour but you will see several other 911's sporting this same color. It is a factory color.

If she is still not sold in the next few weeks we will take down the ad and have the paint repairs completed ourselves. Of course, if she is relisted the price will be higher due to the above mentioned scrapes on the passenger rear fender and the paint chips being addressed.
