I've been dreaming of an old 911 forever, and in the last couple years more specifically about getting an ok example that I can backdate. Good enough as a base car, but not so nice or original that I wouldn't dare mod it. So I found this 1981 SC, originally a USA model, imported to Norway in 2011. 157K miles. Paint and interior are original and showing wear/sun fade, and the blue interior is not my favorite. Wheels are genuine Fuchs.
Current owner has done a lot of mechanical work to the car including a full engine rebuild 6K miles ago, complete new Dansk stainless exhaust including heat exchangers, all engine hoses are new, chain tensioners and head studs upgraded, brake calipers rebuilt, new brake hoses and pads, drive axle joints, tranny oil changed, new tires 7.5K ago, etc. etc. All work done by one of this country's most highly regarded shops and all receipts since import come with the car. Incomplete service history from the US but a few bits.
I won't tell you the price because there is no way to compare prices here with the USA. Lets just say the seller has spent more just fixing the car then you guys would spend on a really nice SC or even a 3.2, but his price is probably not unreasonable considering the work done and prices in this market. Looks like a car I could enjoy for a couple years and do the cosmetic stuff as I go… if I can convince Mrs. 9eleven that my second P-car purchase in a year is a good idea.
I guess someone here must have had one of these and can comment?
