I'm looking at picking up an older 911 SC as a second Porsche. Does anyone have much experience with them? Is there anything I need to look out for? My wife wants to buy me an older one as a project car. I found a 1982 with about 130k miles. It does have some visible wear, buy what do you expect for a 25 year old car. All the interior panels can be purchased new to update the interior. The car drove great, but man is it way different than the Boxster. Clutch feels like an old VW bug.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David
