1983 Porsche 911 SC

Vehicle Description

Luxury Motorcars is very excited to be offering this wonderful example of a 1983 Porsche 911 SC for sale. The last owner, a former PCA president, had the car for 14 years and did a spectacular job as its custodian. Over the years it was modified to compete in the occasional Porsche Club sanctioned autocross event as well as spirited weekend drives. While it’s not unusual for well intentioned owners to miss the mark when trying to improve a Porsche, this car is quite the opposite. The end result of obsessive levels of attention to detail shone through both in how it looks and how it drives. If you haven’t been lucky enough to spend time in an ‘SC’ or any other air-cooled 911 it is difficult to convey how much better this car feels from behind the wheel. In almost every measurable way it is a marked improvement in performance and conveys a feeling of being extremely well sorted. 

The attention to detail didn’t start and end with the mechanical side, it’s also been through a bare metal, glass out, repaint in its original Grand Prix White. It had its carpet, seats, door panels, and steering wheel replaced along with a myriad of other components. Components were modified, tested, replaced, and refined to get ever closer to a more perfect Porsche. 

It is an absolutely incredible machine and the next owner will be very lucky to inherit the fruits of this labor of love.
