1983 Porsche 911

This 1983 Porsche 911 SC Targa has driven 2,000 miles since undergoing an exterior, interior, and mechanical refresh. It is powered by a rebuilt air-cooled 3.0-liter flat-6 paired with a 5-speed manual transaxle. This 911 was owned on the west coast until 2017 when it was relocated to the New England region, where it remains today. Features include fog lamps, bucket seating, air conditioning, and a Sony sound system. Refinished in red over a reupholstered black leather interior, this 911 is now offered by the selling dealer with receipts back to new, a clean CARFAX report, and a clear title.

The 911 SC (Super Carrera, according to Porsche) model debuted in 1978 with an evolution of the 911 sports car’s exterior design and engineering, and a more refined driving experience than prior models. This 911 SC from 1983 was assembled in October 1982 and features a repainted red exterior and a refinished removable black Targa top. The body is equipped with fog lamps, a chin spoiler, black body accents, and rear bumper guards.

Chrome 16-inch Fuchs wheels with Porsche crests are wrapped in a combination of Toyo Proxes and BFGoodrich tires.

The cockpit is fitted with reupholstered black leather bucket seats, matched to the door panels, dash, console, carpeting, and embroidered floor mats. Amenities include air conditioning, power windows, cruise control, and a Sony AM/FM/CD head unit. The selling dealer notes that the quartz analog clock is not working.

VDO-branded instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, 7K-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The six-digit mechanical odometer reads 156K miles, which is supported by the CARFAX report.

The rebuilt air-cooled 3.0-liter flat-6 at the rear features Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and has been well maintained according to the selling dealer. Since being rebuilt, it has accrued 2,000 miles. The CARFAX report shows service performed in July of 2019 that included an oil change and the replacement of the distributor cap, spark plugs, and spark plug wires. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a console-shifted 5-speed manual transaxle. The selling dealer reports that the gearbox has no issues and the clutch is in perfect condition.

Stopping power comes from power-assisted disc brakes. Additional photos showing the underside are available in the carousel to the right.

The CARFAX report shows a vehicle history free of accidents or damage, with the first record entered in 1992 in California. The vehicle passed a Massachusetts safety inspection in 2019. The sale includes service records back to new.
