1981 Porsche 911

Description

Here's an icon ready to run and all dressed in black on black. This 1981 Porsche 911SC coupe has been preserved and highly maintained to continue to give driving pleasure for years to come.

Don't you love how the brilliant black looks on this sleek coupe? There has been plenty invested in a respray earlier this year to make sure that this 911 is the attention grabber. Just take look at how the rear fenders create an amazing shine, and the black is only broken up by the wraparound red taillight/reflector, that boldly shows the Porsche name. It's this kind of attention to detail that tells you the paintwork was professionally done to Porsche's typically high standards, and it serves to amplify the sheetmetal's amazing condition. 911s are not known for chrome, so the costly addition of bright versions of Porsche's iconic Fuchs wheels is a nice custom touch that doesn't look out of place.

No other door opens with the same mechanical and deliberate sound like a classic 911 does. Enthusiasts turn around when they hear that iconic 'pop' (yes it sounds crazy, but true.) And when people look, they will see a black interior just as nice as the exterior. Stepping inside you sit in the comfortable and supportive bucket seat. Then you grab the three-spoke steering wheel with 911's classic center design. Porsche's race-ready sensibilities means the tachometer is directly in front of the driver. The rest of the instruments surround this in their own clearly marked pods to give you a comprehensive view of what's going on with the engine. While this 911 is obviously a driver's car, it doesn't skip on comfortable features. This includes power windows, air conditioning, cruise control, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, and a sunroof. This one even has been upgraded to an AM/FM/CD player so you can play more modern tunes.

The air-cooled Porsches have one of the unique sounds in performance cars, and this one has been expertly maintained to make sure it always is pitch perfect, and provides the most power. The numbers-matching 3.0-liter fuel-injected flat-six motor was rebuilt around 5,000 miles ago. It comes with the all-important maintenance records, including the $12,000+ overhaul. Porsche always made sure that driving a vintage 911 would be a memorable, and rewarding experience, for those who knew how really get it right. That can be felt in every piece from the five-speed manual transmission, to the rack and pinion steering, to the four-wheel disc brakes. It also doesn't hurt that this one is wearing wider performance tires with 16-inch wheels.

A vintage Porsche is joy to own and drive, and you can show it proudly with everything from the original owner's manual to the roughly $20k in receipts over the last few years. This 911SC is a key part of the evolution of this rapidly appreciating icon. Call today!!!
