Looking at a 1983 SC Slant Nose Cab

[wgwollet]

Hi

Great slant nose with COA but I know little about these cars. Where they all just kits?
Only 37,000 miles....

What value would this car bring? The COA mentions nothing about a slant nose option.

Thx

No need to be dbag Sugarbritches....

Wollet-
Yes..lots of replicas...some better than others...

The factory slant nose is an M505 optioned 930...

What you have there is an SC cab with a kit. Ant the biggest Porsche wheel emblem ever!

and no turbo look available in 1983 so the rear fenders, boxed rockers and 'creative' rear bumper vents were crafted on. Smells like a wrecked car made pretty if really that low miles? And i would not be surprised if it started life as a targa?

Hard to put a value on a butchered car, a stock 83 SC cab is one year only... and pretty valuable. This 'thing' not so much. But if you like it.. it's still a 911!

The following is a SAMPLE COA, and is not related to the car posted in this thread.

Here is an example of a COA that says Turbo Look

Bill-
The big question here is are you buying it for yourself or buying it to flip. If you are buying it to flip then be very careful, because the market for a dated conversion will be small. But if you are buying it for yourself and you like the car then it's a whole different game. Why are you buying it and what is the price?

The dash is not correct for 1983. It has the sc motor. But the COA says 1984.... which would be the 3.2 motor.
Am I correct?

No, you are not. The COA is for a different car and only being offered as an example of what a real factory slantnose option looks like on a COA.

Is there a paper trail to prove mileage?

Oh, you are right. I missed that. It still doesn't explain the dash. Also as mentioned before no factory widebody was available in 1983 as far as I recall.

looks like the seats were recovered too, the material is too dull. That and as mentioned the 86 and up dash replacement is a helluva story for a 37k mile car. if you are into this look it may be your car, but i would never pay top dollar because the car has a very dark past. Full repaint, turbo look, slant nose, wrong dash, seats, that basically kills any kind of collector value. Do a PPI and have it inspected for collision damage. If none is found (i highly doubt it), then offer 25k tops and enjoy it. SC's are great driving cars.

So just out of curiosity, I guess the dash topper is the 1986 part (I'm not familiar with the difference between those and the pre-86), as the bottom portion is not 86+ (still has the tiny slits for vents on the left and right sides - much bigger ones on 86+)?

The later dashes have the defrost vent that runs almost the width of the dash instead of two openings.

Thanks all

Learned a lot on this, no it's not my style, NOT factory. A older gentleman owns the car and has a sticker on door jam, he told me it was a Euro car per the VIN. The sticker shows it coming to the US.
The owner needs $40k firm. He is second owner friend bought it in Germany, but he does not seem to understand the car. Seats do look odd, maybe not correct pattern.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

Good Gawd, you're another one of those factory/OEM/originality tubesteaks, like Christian?!?! Are you a Danish dangler, too?!?!

Nice. So on top of everything else, it's 'gray market.'

Not to hijack the thread but what's your take on ROW cars? There seem to be two factions, one that says "ROW are ****ing awesome and always preferable to US models because they're better cars, the SCs run faster, they sit lower than US models, the headlights, etc." and one that says "beware of ROW cars, a lot were federalized in very sketchy fashion in the 80s, cutting corners left and right, a lot of botched jobs etc.".

[techweenie]

Personally, I like gray market cars that have been in the US for a decade or more. Any sub-standard conversion issue would have smoked itself out by then. And often, they have slightly better performance.

The issue is the crusty old guys who were told in the mid-80s that gray market=bad. Granted they are dying off and in some cases, learning new info, but it tends to be a market value hit.
