1980 Porsche 911 SC Targa Coupe 1980 SC Targa Used Manual

Description

This 1980 Porsche 911 SC has everything you like about the legend - bright paint, targa top, and the a freshly rebuilt 3.0-liter flat-six under the rear hatch. And when you add in all the right bold upgrades, too, you realize this is the pretty Porsche of your dreams. The factory-correct Minerva Blue proves a Porsche doesn't have to be red to make a bold statement. It has the high level of luster you'd expect from a well-respected classic. But it's more than just the paint that has you intrigued. This one has the right factory-style upgrades that showcase the evolution of the 911 sports car. For example, added whale tail rear spoiler not only heightens the bold impression, but also it genuinely aids in cooling the motor. And there are great little details like the third brake light and Euro-style headlights. And the later-style 15-inch alloys prove that a good Porsche has timeless appeal. No other door opens with the same mechanical and deliberate sound like a classic 911 does. Enthusiasts turn around when they hear that iconic 'pop' (yes it sounds crazy, but true.) And when people look, they will see a black interior just as nice as the exterior. You sit down in the German engineered bucket seat and grab the 911's classic three-spoke steering wheel. Porsche's race-ready sensibilities means the tachometer is directly in front of the driver. The rest of the instruments surround this in their own clearly marked pods to give you a comprehensive view of what's going on with the engine. While this 911 is obviously a driver's car, it doesn't skip on comfortable features. This includes power windows, power seats, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo. But let's face it, the interior piece that you'll always love the best is the Targa top that allows you to remove the entire roof in a matter of moments. And the cold-blowing R134a air conditioning means you get to stay open to the world long into the summer season. The air-cooled Porsches have one of the unique sounds in performance cars, and this one has been invested in to make sure it continues the tradition. The 3.0-liter fuel-injected flat-six motor is fresh from a rebuild. So you know that you are buying a solid example of German engineering. Porsche always made sure that driving a vintage 911 would be a memorable and rewarding experience for those who knew how really drive it right. That can be felt in every piece from the five-speed manual transmission, to the rack and pinion steering, to the upgraded four-wheel disc brakes. It also doesn't hurt that this one is wearing grippy Kumho Ecsta ASX performance rubber. It's hard not to fall in love with a Porsche 911. But when you get a targa top and all the right upgrades and care, this blue angel is irresistible. Call today!!!
