This 911SC is totally awesome! This is the “poor man’s” early 930. Original color, all matching numbers!

Mocha brown with cork sport seat interior with tartan dress inlays!

Here are the stats:

· Factory lightweight: no sunroof, only 1 rear view mirror, no A/C, manual (Sport) Seats, limited slip
differential, small battery, smaller & wider wheels/tires, Bilstein Suspension, no fog-lights, spoilers…

· Absolutely gorgeous mocha-brown (mocha-black – called one or the other in sales documentation, color
chart and certificate of authenticity, but mocha-brown and mocha-black were the identical colors with the same
paint code, just two names for the same color depending on brochure, country and documentation) with cork sport
seat interior with tartan dress inserts

· Original per Certificate of Authenticity

· Refreshed/resealed original, matching number 3.0 liter engine (930/04).

You are buying a very original, custom ordered, light weight 1978 911SC. This car was ordered as a lightweight, it
only has one (driver’s side) rear view mirror, no sunroof, no air conditioning, no fog-lights, manual sport
seats, limited slip differential, Bilstein shocks/ suspension, limited slip differential, short 15” wider wheels
and tires (7 & 8 x 15 instead of 6 & 7 x 16 with 205-50-15 & 225-50-15 tires instead of the regular taller wheels
for faster acceleration.) Further, the car has a short shifter installed. This car drives like a go-cart!

The car just underwent a major refresh. It was all original, has never been in any accident, as you can see by its
condition such as the interior it has lived a very gentle life. The front bumper, hood and the single driver’s
side mirror had a lot of stone-chips. Further, somebody had put body side moldings along each side in the middle of
the doors that looked ridiculous – it kept the doors dent-free. When we removed the non-original door moldings,
some of the paint lifted with them, we decided to repaint some of the car. Further, the car had the not so nice
factory all rubber whale-tail (it will come with the car), and we decided to treat this car with a reproduction
early 930/911SC-Weissach deck-lid with a factory rubber lip. The roof of the car, as well as the rear bumper and
valance are original paint. We decided to carefully sand down the rest of the car and refinish it in its original
and ultra-rare mocha brown/mocha black color and the car looks stunning! The paint meter shows that the car is
almost the same thickness as a new car, some areas slightly thicker. As you can see, the car has been updated with
European H4 headlights and European tail-light lenses, all in excellent shape.

The car was running very well, but when we wanted to give it a tune-up and valve adjustment we found two broken
lower Dilavar head-studs. As a result, we disassembled the engine (930/04 - early large port 3.0 US version),
replaced all Dilavar head-studs with updated steel ones, put in new rings – this car features Mahle pistons and
cylinders which are in outstanding condition, the guides in the cylinder heads were like brand new and had been
replaced many years, but less than 10,000 miles ago, so we put in new Wrightwood Racing valve stem seals and left
the guides alone. Further, the clutch has been updated with the all spring sport type without the problematic
rubber center; pressure fed chain tensioners were installed, a pop-off valve was installed, plus all regular
maintenance items such as new injector seals, intake runner bellows, new thermostat and breather seals, new spark
plugs, original new spark plug wires, cap, rotor, new air/heater hoses etc. Of course the valves are freshly
adjusted. The car features its original small 228mm (906 and 78/79 only 911SC) fan and fan housing – the original
housing one had a crack (very common from previous, incorrect alternator service/replacement) and we sourced an
excellent original replacement; the fan blades are perfect without any chips. We use silicon valve cover and sump
gaskets. As the photos show the original exhaust is in excellent condition. We also checked the gas-tank, it is in
excellent, original condition with no internal corrosion what-so-ever, as is commonly found these days as a result
of the ethanol containing fuels.

The power robbing pollution air pump had been nicely removed, and it comes with the car complete with the air
injectors, manifold, bracket and pulley if you ever want to make the car 100% original.

All windows are nice, clear and free of scratches or chips, the headliner is in stunning condition without any
tears or discoloration, even the dash and sun-visors are excellent, so is the plaid/cork interior, and cork
interiors with plaid dress inserts per certificate of authenticity are ultra-rare and are very, very 70s and
gorgeous! This car even features its original radio (with the operation manual in the glove-box), and amazingly
features the original door speakers with the ultra-hard to find original door speaker covers in outstanding
condition. It is almost impossible to find a 38 year old car this original and well maintained. Even the tool-kit
and original emergency air compressor are still there as shown; even the original bag that used to contain a pair
of gloves for a tire change and or course the owner and maintenance manual are there complete in their original
pouch.

We even found a fresh set of tires for the car, almost impossible to find in this original 205-50-VR15 & 225-50VR15
size and configuration, especially the rear tires. Also, the brakes are freshly serviced with new front rotors and
pads.

To keep the engine running cool, the car is equipped with a Terbatrol front oil cooler system (in the right front
fender), these were extremely efficient with much better heat dissipation than the original loop coolers or the
multi-tube coolers had. Also, a nice, small hole was cut into the front valance panel to channel more cooling air
into the oil-cooler, a desirable update. Even the original, factory, super loud red fanfare trumpet horns are still
functioning and in the car.

This car is an excellent investment opportunity and can be enjoyed, it is an excellent driver.

How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.

Porsche announces works team for United Sportscar Championship

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Porsche is undoubtedly the most successful manufacturer in sportscar racing, and it's only upping its game. The German marque is launching its new LMP1 racer for Le Mans in pursuit of overall victory once again, and now that sportscar racing in North America is coming together under one banner in the United Sportscar Championship, Porsche has announced it is entering the fray with a works team here as well.
The new Porsche North America racing team will field two cars in the entire inaugural season of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship that's been formed out of the former Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. The team will be based out of the Porsche Motorsport North America facility in Santa Ana, California, and will partner with three-time ALMS LMPC winners Core Autosport in getting a pair of the latest 911 RSR racecars to the front of the GT Le Mans class.
Drivers have yet to be announced, but are projected to be drawn out of Porsche's factory driver program, which includes such talents as Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani. Keep reading below for the official announcement.
