Default appraise my new purchase

Just picked up a sweet 1980 Porsche 911sc with 201,000 miles it is a Targa it is a rare color arrow blue. It runs and drives great probably a condition 3 in hagerty's condition appraisal. Doesn't have the original Fuchs it has period correct Bbs wheels. Has the upgraded airbox not to sure yet about updated tensioners. No rust California car. Will get pics soon. Rough estimate on its worth?

Definitely! Any tips to make it pass would help me out a lot. Since I need to take it soon. I've heard taking them in hot helps
Lol I just realized which smog you were referring to.

200k miles is a bit higher than you usually see, even though we all know the 3.0 is bulletproof etc.

Is the car still numbers matching? Is the paint original? What's the interior like, and what color is it? Any options on the car? Is the underside clean? Any bodywork / collision? Any aftermarket parts? Any service documentation? Head studs done? Tranny shifts well?

Without more info, it's very hard to say. The range could be from the low 20s to the mid 30s.

I am able to find the engine number but don't know what number on the car to match It to. It is the original color but not original paint no signs of accident damage and underside is clean no rot. It has aftermarket stereo and speakers the transmission shifts without issues. No documentation on the head studs but it appears to have been maintained well. It has a black interior. It has the optional headlamp washers.

I think you still have the protective plastic on you camera lens. Happened to me once, and I got foggy pictures until I removed it.

80 SC with over 200k miles and non-original paint? Not a penny over 20k.

That's all that really matters. Feed and water it, and just drive.
