Default agreed!

Could not agree more! An amazing car... and my last car was a 2014 Cayman with sports exhaust. I even had a new 911 as a loaner for a week, still this is better! BTW anyone have any idea what the key slot is just under the rear accordion bumper?

Default Can't wait

Got off the fence and bought an '80 SC Targa yesterday. Can't wait until the transport drops it off!! Already have some cosmetic touch ups planned, but thankfully the mechanicals are all recently restored. Thanks to all on Rennlist for the continual flow of good info and tips!

Looks like the deal is done on the new to me 78 SC (I've had had an SC in the past). It's on the East coast and I'm in So Cal. On top of that the PPI revealed a few things that need attention before I take delivery so the pic will have to do for a couple of weeks. I'm excited and it will make a nice bookend to my 09 turbo. And to the OP, it's a matching numbers original Talbot yellow car, love the color, seems like a slightly toned down speed yellow.

BTW, to you SC experts, two questions about my car above. Shouldn't it have a strut brace and if so who has the best product? Second, from my previous SC ownership I remember the 915 shifter as a little vague and sloppy. Would a Wevo be worth the investment or are there other choices here, like maybe leave well enough alone? Although the car has been somewhat modified it can be returned to stock fairly easily. The stock decklid and mirrors were painted with the car. The engine has been gone through but again it's stock (although with touches like a polished crank and carefully matched parts), and it has headers. Although the stock wheel has had the cross section increased I am replacing it with a Momo prototipo wheel. It is a matching numbers car in it's original color. I had no intention of changing ti back but I want to preserve the ability to do so. That said, any other suggestions from you gear heads out there?
