This 1981 Porsche 911SC Targa is finished in Guards Red over black leather and powered by a 3.0-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Features include a removable targa roof panel, air conditioning, cruise control, a Blaupunkt AM/FM/CD stereo, and 16″ Fuchs wheels. The seller acquired the car in 2000 and work performed under current ownership included replacing ignition and brake components in 2016, repairing the speedometer in 2018, and installation of a hydraulic Carrera chain tensioner upgrade kit in 2020.
The car is finished in Guards Red and features a removable roof panel, a black Targa bar, fog lights, and US-spec lighting and bumpers.
Fuchs 16″ wheels are finished in black with anodized rims and are mounted with Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position tires. A space-saver spare tire is stored in the front trunk along with a tool kit. The front brake calipers and pads were replaced in November 2016 by Quad City Tech in Moline, Illinois.
The cabin features seats upholstered in black leather with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Additional equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, a Blaupunkt AM/FM/CD stereo, and Porsche Targa-branded floor mats. The air conditioning system was recharged in May 2020.
A three-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a central tachometer, an 85-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 80k miles. The speedometer was repaired and recalibrated in March 2018 and the odometer was reset to 78k miles by North Hollywood Speedometer & Clock in North Hollywood, California. True mileage is unknown.
The air-cooled 3.0L flat-six features Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and was factory rated at 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. The fuel filter, distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs, and ignition wires were replaced in November 2016 by Quad City Tech in Moline, Illinois, while work performed in May 2020 included installation of a Carrera timing chain upgrade kit as well as compression and leak down tests.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle.
