My new toy!!!!
Pulled the trigger on a '79 911SC!!! What a fun car!!! You guys may recall, a couple weeks ago I looked at this one. It will go to my son when he graduates Univ of Washington in 3 yrs. Too bad he cant have a car at school..
In the meantime, I'm having FUN with it while the Vette project progresses!!!!!!
BTW, the Vettes engine bay is almost done, and the ZZ4 is all painted and about ready to drop in!! Got my belts back from Ssnake-Oyl TODAY!! Look great (they OUGHT to...$$).

Always liked the 911's and the 928's. You found a nice looking car that should be easy to maintain. I do have a strong liking for German cars as we have 3 BMW's. Your son will have long dependability.
The only thing in my drive that is not American or German is just visiting.
I do recall your thread on this as a trade. I just do nopt recall what you traded or did you?

About ten years ago my good friend Nick and I decided to buy a couple of 911's.
We have always liked the look of them and thought it would be fun. Ironically and unplanned we both bought 1979 SC's within two weeks of each other.
We joined the Porsche club and at our first autocross I wasted my motor.
Bought my car for 16K, put 16K into it, and sold it for 16K, full circle.
Nick drove the wheels off of his for two years and never spent a dime on it.
I wish you Nick's luck.

I've always liked 911's. The only one I've ever ridden in was a 72 and it was a helluva lot of fun. It was a college friends dad's car. He promised me I could drive it when I graduated, that was 15 years ago. I wonder if I should call him up and tell him I'm still waiting to drive it.
