I have seen the light, figuratively and literall in terms of weight. I sold my 90 C4 Cab a few months back and after looking since November of last year have just purchased a 1980 911SC. I know you all like pictures and I will post better ones later but here are a couple.



I thnk I will keep my username the same - Rick964 - changing it will make other people unable to find me.

Nice looking ride Rick. Love the SC in silver. Congrats, looks like you found a beauty.

Congrats! From the steering wheel and tlted gauges, it looks like that machine has been used properly in its former life! Enjoy the car...they are so much fun!

The car is horrible looking. You don't want a silver 911SC.

Let me take it off your hands.


PS> I looked forever for a silver SC and couldn't find one ("settled" for light metallic blue).

Thanks guys. The car was used for autox for about 18 months back in 97-98, then the owner got hooked and built an RS replica out of another one. Previous owner had it since 97 and I have records on the car back to 94 from two owners ago.
I get the grin off my face.

Thanks Rick! Good looking coupe. You've just helped me erase the last vestiges of doubt that I may have been subconsciously supressing since I bought my first and current Porsche, an 82 SC Euro Spec. coupe that is my daily driver.

I knew NOTHING about Porsches but had to get back into a small, lightweight handler after being nearly bored to death after 74k miles in a 99 Vette.

Nearly everyone I asked recommended I buy the latest (it had to be air/oil cooled) model Porsche I could afford. I looked at SCs, Carreras and C2/4s and decided on the rawness and lighter weight of the SC.

So now I'm having a blast in my "gold plated" SC daily driver (not a trace of "but I coulda had a C4!", which I really coulda for what I'm into the SC for).

Maybe I'll see you on the road - I'm in Carlsbad.

Excellent paint!

Very nice ride.

I am in the final stages of selling my 993 so I can go back in time and get an older911 myself.

Six months to search seems about right. That's how long it took me to find my current P-car. Hopefully I'll be able to shorten my seach as now I know about Rennslist.

I'm in CBad too. Maybe I'll see you around.

So what are your opinions between driving the C4 and the SC? What are your likes, dislikes, etc.?

Very Nice
I just recently puchased a 1978 sc white with caramel interior which was local and was a blast to test drive. I am slowly familiarizing myself to the cosmetics it may need and tune it up parts. The SC being my second car can be patient. The SC fulfilled tthe needs of wanting a pure sports car over my daily 1997 BMW m3 four sedan, the two cars really complement each other though. Humerously, the m3 feels like cadillac after driving the SC.

I had similar wonders.. our cars are nice raw sports cars but the '90 is no shabby vehicle either.. why the leap back in technology ,, I also saw someone move back from a 993 which i KNOW is a nice machine . I would be curious at to why.
