1980 SC price check

[Dirty911]

Hello,

I'm looking into a 1980 SC. It has a whale tail, and original engine lid. Fuchs, plus a set of aftermarket wheels, after market seats.

The seller is the 3rd owner, and has receipts.

It is original paint (tobacco brown metallic I think) in good condition.

Mechanically it has a bad 2nd gear synchro. Engine is in good shape, about 110,000 miles.

What would you pay for it?

Considering the current market, $18k - $21k is what decent SCs are fetching. Add $1k for good color. Add $1k for good miles and records. Subtract $2k for non-original seats, unless they are matching period Recaros. Subtract $3k for trans repair.

Call it $16k.

I am going $12 to $13,000.

$3,500 for tranny rebuild
$500.00 for original seats

All can be done cheaper but I quote #1 quality.

This would have you in at $16,000 to $17,000.

This is a great model and year for an SC. I would be very painstaking in my inspection of the motor.

I would disagree with you on this. $15K can still get you a decent SC. Maybe not one with less than 100K miles, but still a nice driver that has been well maintained.

Maybe if you come up on one that's not very well-advertised. If you look at the FS section here, and on eBay, you can see what the asking prices are. Both Carreras and SCs have seen a price spike lately, considering all the cars going back to the Fatherland.

I haven't seen a good SC for $15k in months. I've seen some $15k SCs, but none that I would bring home to Mother.
