Preservation class Southern California 911SC Targa under single-family ownership for over 42 years with 13,336 original miles. Purchased new from Taylor Porsche | Audi in Vallejo, California on December 5, 1980. Equipped from the factory with 16” Forged Wheels, Speedometer in MPH, USA Symbols and Lettering for switches and instruments, Fog Lamps, and Blaupunkt AM/FM Cassette Stereo with Electric Antenna (dealer-installed).
The Casablanca Beige Metallic paintwork is exceptionally original and has undergone recent paint correction and ceramic coating treatment. The upholstery is well-preserved with no wear. The original VDM steering wheel sits ahead of factory VDO instrumentation, Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and has cold air conditioning. The undercarriage is all original and has undergone recent ice blasting, including the engine compartment and wheel wells. The Fuchs alloy wheels are mounted to Pirelli P Zero Rosso 205 55 ZR 16 Front and 225 50 ZR 16 Rear tires.
The first owner was a dedicated Porsche enthusiast, yet he seldom used the car, reserving its outings for sunny weekends. Together with his spouse, he utilized the 911SC to explore the picturesque routes of Napa Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. During the initial year of ownership, a mere 5,000 miles were added, with an additional 7,000 miles accrued from 1981 to 1997. Subsequently, his focus shifted to family and the growth of his dental practice, prompting him to store the prized 911SC in a garage for the next 22 years. In 2019, faced with relocating the vehicle to a new residence, the owner took the initiative to revitalize his beloved 911. The 911 was transported to a local independent Porsche specialist, who conducted a comprehensive $12,000 service and performed the following: timing chain tensioner update kit, replaced gas tank and sending unit, rebuild fuel distributor and warm up regulator, new injectors and boots, fuel pump, all new brake lines, new brake master cylinder, front and rear brake rotors and pads, brake fluid flush, spark plugs, new Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires, oil service and air filter, resurfaced flywheel, and new seals. Unfortunately, by the time they finished sorting it out and making it safe to drive, Covid hit, and it sat once again. By 2022, the first owner sold his beloved Targa to a family friend in Orange County.
Mechanically powered by its 3.0L flat-six that produces 180 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 175 foot-pounds torque at 4,200 rpm with a (915) 5-speed manual transmission. Most recently received full service, including replacing the fuel pump again, new fuel injectors and O rings, draining and cleaning the fuel tank, then re-installing a new fuel filter, new fuel accumulator, steering wheel hub bushing, replacing horns, and new Bosch battery. Complete with two keys, vintage Porsche leather key fob, owner's manuals with vinyl pouch, original maintenance booklet with stamps, original Porsche floor mats (4), original touch-up paint tube, two Targa top keys, original tool kit still in Porsche plastic bag, front license plate bracket, spare tire bag with plastic gloves, space saver tire (never used), jack and some service records. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a low mileage 911SC finished in a desirable color combination.
