General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is proud to represent this beautiful 1980 Porsche 911 SC. The car is finished in stunning Guards Red with gold pinstriping and a camel colored leather interior that really brings the car together nicely. The car is powered by the original and beloved, naturally aspirated, SOHC, port injection, air cooled, 3.0l flat 6 engine, that makes 180hp at 5500 rpm and 175 lb.-ft at 4200 rpm. Plenty of power to push this lightweight 2,757lb Porsche all the way to 140mph. Power goes through a 5-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. This car features a power sunroof, AM/FM radio with cassette, power windows, leather interior, A/C and much more. The current owner is the 2nd owner of the car since new. It was purchased from a dealer representing an estate in 2014 and has documentation dating back to 1980 including the dealer invoice and all the work that has been done since. It has only covered 30,003 miles since it rolled off of the assembly line in the former West Germany plant located in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. Since the car was purchased by the 2nd owner, no expense has been spared. All the work has been done at Porsche of North Houston by a Certified Porsche Mechanic. It has been completely gone through to ensure that everything works as it should and is in excellent working order. The owner states that it could be used as a daily driver if the 3rd owner so wishes. It has had a new air blower, brakes, calipers, tires, bearings, brake pads, spark plugs, air filter, wiper blades, battery, air conditioning system, new alternator and the list goes on. On to the extent of a $19,000 bill being paid this February to get everything up to par. This is probably one of the finest examples of a 911 SC out there. The owner hopes that the new owner will pamper the car the way he has and keep this beautiful piece of Porsche history alive and well for years to come. Don’t miss this chance to own this one.
