Cool video. I have a similar '89 3.2 in Grand Prix white. I had to go through my car completely when I bought it, including a full engine rebuild, which I did myself. I think these cars are absolutely great because unlike more complex exotics you can do nearly all of the major work right in your garage if you dedicate yourself to it. Keep up the content and best wished with this nice one.
Just got my 79 sc, In Mexico they were not common in those years since porsche started dealerships later on, so you cant be picky here to get a vintage air cooled car, that being said, mine has rust and the motor needs some fine tuning, but I paid way below the market price for it and Im extremely happy with it, cool video and useful to get mine looking and driving ok, congrats and take care
Good overview! I bought my GP White '80 SC in 2016, ironically, from Cleveland, and had to ship it to Texas. I like ride height you've set it at, I put bolt-on spacers on the rear wheels to fill out the rear arches better, until I got a set of 7/8s. I'm so jealous of the slicktop 😆
Nice job on the Porsche, great detail correcting the electrics. Yes it's important!! If I was interested in buying the car and opened the door and heard the buzzer, that my friend would seal the deal!!
Should you? Yes. The SC is a fantastic car. I had an '82 911 SC. It was my daily for yearrrrrrrs and I sold it with 210k miles on it, still had good compression. Easy to work on. Fantastic little cars. Those little 3.0 engines are bullet proof little tanks. I sincerely miss my 911 so badly. I bought mine needing a TON of work, did a full engine out maintenance and I drove it for years and years with no issues. Congrats on the acquisition!
@@HeyhitmeBAM It's wild to me. I got my '82 911 SC for less than 10k after trading in a very beat up 944 a little over 10-12 years ago. I think I paid $8200 total. It needed a clutch immediately, and I found out someone turned the flywheel with a lathe lol. I spent a couple thousand on parts to put it back in mechanically superb shape. Sold it for more than that, and it's been very weird to see the prices go up that high because to me, "it's just an 80s 911." They weren't even the super sought after 911s back then. Great cars, yes, but the longhoods and turbos were "the one to have" and now those are often 6 figures and I'm just going, "LOL WHAT?" The prices will likely keep me from wanting another one, even though I very much miss it. I sold mine to get an old beat up lamborghini that needed restoration that was destined to be a parts car. I got a 997 after a while, but I miss the song of an aircooled 911.
@@kristokristo3608 The most expensive is not always the best either. Better to be armed with the knowledge on what to look for and how to fix it, it's more valuable when going in to buy one.
Unless the entire car was repainted, it should be a single stage paint job to match the paint Porsche used Glasorit with the code 908.You have a great 911.
I bought a ‘78 GP white SC 3 months ago. I’ve got lights and a nice punch list to work through as well. I’m not as mechanically inclined but willing to learn. Any advice on resources for electric/light fixes in the cabin and gauges?
@Johnnysshop I just bought an 82 SC in gp white. Horrible paint with large nicks and chips. My plans are to brush touch it and enjoy it for the first year or two before respray. I'm still deciding if I want to remove the whale tail or just buy another new lid and grill and have it painted. I paid 42k, including shipping. It feels so wrong to pay the kind of money these cars command today, but the price I paid is on the low end of course.
I’m 51 years old , the 911 was and is my dream car still. I love ❤️ your 911. I still don’t have one 😢 but loved seeing yours . Thanks for sharing
Super rare without a sunroof! Lovely car

Great looking 911SC -- a sunroof delete is very rare and desirable.

If owners won’t keep upping the price…Carreras are like turbo prices now

Remember the cheapest Porsche u buy will become the most expensive

Great looking
Lovely car buddy 😎🙌

They are factory galvanized since 1976, they almost never rust.
That is not true. They rust.
Oh brother!!! You are cute, adorable and going through midlife crises 🎉
You know/feel porsche in no way at ALL!!!!
But love your spongebob passion ❤
Hi, it looks like your fuel filter is installed upside down. Double check that asap.

These cars are the best ever made "😂😅👍👍👍👍I've got two of them 1985..coupe..1987 ...cabriolet g50
Where can I find a car like this, I really adore it!!! I want to buy
I'd like to have one, but it does not look easy to work on at all.
I opted for a cruiser motorcycle instead.
Did you pay $60k - 70k for the car?
Not that much but close!

@@Johnnysshopcome on, Johnny. I gots to know. It’s eating you up. Let it out, Johnny. Sing it, sister.
This Porsche is perfect if you live in a Country with a 100 km/h speed limit and bad roads!
You should have bought one... when they were cheaper " in 1990😅😮
Wait, you’re 48, have a five year old granddaughter and a grandson that’s older than that? Your family gets to work early.
The 911 was the poormans 928
You lost me at "Porsch" B Bye.
Buy a European 911 without those horrible American fenders. They ruin the looks
Ok boomers
You shouldn't buy any Porsche until you can pronounce the name properly.
The Brits refuse to pronounce it properly too…
Who cares, we know what the mean@@glenoh88
