Value? Modified '80 911SC

PcarPhil · 05-11-2007, 08:30 AM

I've come across a very interesting toy and may consider selling my '80 SC to fund the purchase. Maybe.

I haven't thought about selling it so I don't know what it's worth. Any ideas?

1980 911 SC w/ 3.0 engine and 915 trans. Clear title.

~145k miles on car. Engine and trans are in good health. Fresh Wevo mounts on engine and trans.
-Engine head studs replaced at ~100k miles, backdated SSI exhaust and 2 in 1 out muffler added at that time, along with a clutch and pop off valve.
-Backdated heat system.
-No A/C - have A/C parts that can be included.
-Suspension refreshed about 10-15k miles ago with new bushings and Bilsteins.
-Ruf front and rear bumpers. Stock bumpers and valances can be included.
-7&8x15 Fuchs wheels with fresh Hankook Z212 RS2 tires 205/50/15 f 225/50/15 rear.
-Currently has 930S steering wheel, Recaro SRD seats, Rennshift shifter, ducktail, LM1. These parts may/may not be included.
-Leakdown and compression tests done by PO, Results were very good - I need to dig up those numbers. Not done recently.
-Engine/trans does not leave oil drops on floor. Ever.
-Currently running 15w-40 synthetic engine oil and Swepco fluid in trans.
-A few hundred lbs less weight than a stock SC.
-Paint is what I consider a (very conservative) 20 footer. Looks nice in pics.
-Car is dirty right now - hadn't planned on selling it so I haven't cleaned it up.
-Car has been rear ended in a 5-10mph impact. Read about it here on Pelican. The repairs were done very well.

14 to 15k

I don't know about the market out there, but in SoCal, probably ask around $12,500 and take anything above 10K.

East coast prices are a bit higher due to the scarcity of air-cooled Porsches on the Market and we don't have as many smog restrictions as CA.

Project cars go for 6-10k here.

I was interested in a few cars that were located in CA but I just don't have the time to fly out to check out the cars and have it shipped back.

The local shop by me has sold a few "nice" SC's for 15 to 18K with over 100,000 miles on them in last couple on months.

I looked up prices of non-turbo SC's within 500 miles and here is what I found:
Qty

1 $11,000
2 $12,500
1 $13,000
2 $14,000
3 $15,000
6 $18,000
1 $20,000
1 $23,000
2 $26,000
1 $ 30,000

Out of 40 (non-Turbo) Carrreras listed, 8 are below $18,000 and the rest are all in the mid-20's to the low $30,000

I'm going to have to start importing Porsche's from the Republic of California

Not to untie the subject matter, as I can see the guy is looking for a value mark, but I'm confused. Here's some excellent STOCK porsches that are right on the price tag you mentioned, and have VERY low miles.......and they are on the East Coast.

I don't know if it makes any difference to you....but....those are ebay cars. IMO there's some added value to purchasing a Pelican/Dorki/enthusiast owned car instead of purchasing an unknown on ebay.

I don't want to get into the stock vs. modified debate but some people value mods, some people don't.

While it has a bunch of upgradeds, it isn't that anything has really been restored. The paint sounds a bit tired as well. This car is not worth more than the same vehicle in stock trim. So, whatever a 140k car costs in your neck of the woods, that's what this is worth. My guess at a fair price would be 12-14k.

Depends on paint . A lot of people want that look, and aren't going to want to build it. If the paint is only fair, that does put you down.

Nice car BTW.

Thanks for the info folks. This has been an informative thread.

I'm happy to say the SC is staying put at least until my widebody longhood is finished and sorted.

Did you install the Ruf bumpers? Were they an easy swap or do they require some "encouragement"?

Yes I did the install. It's not super hard, just time consuming. Click on the SC link in my sig for the install info.

Just checked out your thread. The smile, the license plate light, getting everything to fit...sounds like quite a project. Certainly not plug and play. Very nice job! It looks great as does the red one in that thread.
