Sc is normally aspirated, not turbocharged like the 930.

 

The SC was a normally aspirated 911 sold from 78-83, an excellent car and in your price wheel house. The 74 turbo was a prototype used a show car, millions of dollars if you could locate it. The most reasonable 930's are the 80-85 grey market cars decent ones are going to be $45k +.
Good Luck,

My Turbo CAB needed a major service to also include a new clutch and trans work, A/C rebuild, new canvas top, cables, window, brakes and tires. At least 10-12 grand that I knew of. A local rennlister offered to buy my car for $40.000 as it sat in the shop, before the major service work.
I took the money. I'll let you know in ten years if I screwed up.

 

Are you a Mass. state trooper?

 

You will know in two that you did, I bet

 

The 3.0 SC is not a turbo/930. It's a normally aspirated engine. The '75-'77 turbos were referred to as 911 turbo, turbo carrera, 930. The most expensive part of a 911/930 is the motor. A complete 930 engine rebuild by a reputable shop can easily set you back $20+k.
The '75-'77 930's are at the top of the 930 collector market.

 

Yup.....just got my (2 owner 31k mile running/driving with no funny noises) motor back from a fresh rebuild at a reputable shop.......$24k....it is what it is !

 

To OP...

You realize we are in an EPIC bubble, even larger than that of 2007-08....and it may have already began its descent. I remember seeing some great deals in 930's after the 2008 bubble popped.....guys saying I gotta sell this toy or that toy etc. Unless the scratch is so big you can't wait to scratch it, I'd wait until these bubbles are resolved.....particularly the DEBT bubble.

 

I was in the same boat you are three years ago. I wanted a good looking 930 that was at least minimally mechanically sound. I expected to put at least $5k in repairs for unseen issues, which I did. (New belts/fluids/tires/hoses/etc) For about a third of the prices now, I was able to find one that was posted on ebay with 74k miles. Within six hours of the posting, i had struck a deal with the seller contingent on inspection. The car passed ppi/leakdown and I grabbed it. I am very fortunate that the car has appreciated, because repairs have been hefty. An on-track mishap resulted in lower end rebuild (broken head studs/rebuilt transmission) $14k. Over the last three years, I've averaged $4k a year in maintenance/repairs/and a few mods, etc... Averaging 4k miles per year. It still needs another $6-8k in work to get to almost show condition. But I also track the car, which does add to the maintenance. Bottom line I guess, is that, in the long run, you will still spend a lot of money for a well running, showable 930, regardless of the purchase price.

But without a doubt, considering at the time, I could not afford a $60k showpiece, I would absolutely do it again. You do get what you pay for. But the car is just so exhilarating to drive and I smile every time I go in the garage, that I have no second thoughts or buyer's remorse. Plus with values going up like they are, it is probably hard to go wrong on a 930 at the moment.

 

I agree with Shannon123, I believe we are in a bubble but prices are beginning to moderate, 964 turbo's have been really insanely priced but are beginning to flatten, as mentioned previously your budget too weak to consider a turbo, but good luck anyway.
