Nice... I had a '82 SC that I still kick myself for selling. It's the one that got away! PTS exterior, special leather interior, it was a damn nice car that I would really like to have back!

i haven't had a chance to drop the bumper to access the clip that goes to the intercooler... the week after it happened, we went on vacation to obx for a week and just got back on Sunday... i will try to tackle this weekend... while i was away though i got another shipment from Sambo... i took 2fcknfast advice and just upgraded the I/C... i figure if i'm dropping the bumper anyway, i'll put in another mod...

I have all the paper for this one too - a little over $50k when new, what a time that must have been. Apparently, this one was purchased in the first place, because it matched his wife's boots.... it was the eighties.

That is a lovely color, usually, I am not a fan of the polished wheel effect, but that contrasts the body color very nicely, I can see why you kick yourself.

These are the Fuchs, 7s and 9s, but only 15" in diameter - gives it a very unique look, and seems to compliment the gearing...

993, oh yes please.

I've driven several SC's and I've never liked them. I like the 964's and up...

It is most certainly a different type of drive, especially with the torsion bar suspension - not fast, rather 'constant'. I think the 3.6 in the 964 is a more engaging power plant, but hey, it was the eighties...

Yeah, those were 'period' polished Fuchs by the well known guy on the west coast who was known for that work, name escapes me now...

Is that exterior Pacific Blue Metallic? What's the "special" leather interior?

I do believe 'PTS' is paint to sample - a whooping $1200 back in the day. Looks blue...

Well, the GOV has certainly done an excellent job of maintaining our currency's value.

Yes, the equivalent of that car today is around $120k USD, if not mistaken...
