Racer,
Please drop me a line about your '78 SC that is For Sale. I would have emailed or PM'd you but
I believe you have those features turned-off on your account...
Thank you,
Tim

'70 911E, I'm the 4th owner. Bought this car with 36,000 miles on the clock. Who knows how many times it went around. I rebuilt the motor and trans at an indicated 72,000 miles. It now has 28,000 trouble free miles on the rebuild. I drive about 5,000 miles a year.

122 K and still runs strong. Clutch was replaced a few year back, and I have added some things to the car like new rotors and rebuilding the calipers (didn't need to be done...just wanted the cross drilled rotors) SSI' etc. she doesn't smoke or leak oil @ all, and burns just what it should for an air cooled engine.

86 911 with 177,000 miles.
I've had it 4 years and don't believe any motor or trannie work was done other than 2nd gear syncro.
I've replace shocks, alternator, rear and soon to be front arm bushings and a lot of little thing that annoyed me.

'82 911 SC with 250,000 approx. miles. (Speedometer was replaced before I got it.) Looks great was running strong when I dropped the engine to go through the trans. (1st and 2nd syncros.) Now that it's out I'll put on the SSI's I have for it and put on the Carrera tensioners, new clutch etc.
Thinking about different cams and maybe a bump to 3.2. Anyway, it's been a great car.
