For sale is this 1983 911 SC Targa with the bulletproof 3.0 engine.  Car has been sitting for several years.  Oil change and fresh fuel and the car starts right up and idles perfectly.  Have tested in driveway and car will move forward and backwards.  Have not road tested.  Prior to me, the car has only had two owners. What I was told about the car: Original owner was a female doctor (Cliche I know.....) who had the car from new until 1988/1989.  Second owner purchased the car and used it at his summer home in Maine.  Several years ago previous owner took the car to the garage to get rear brakes overhauled.  The driver side door was backed into in the parking lot of the garage.  Owner took the car as-is to MA and it sat for many years as the owner had many other cars and lost interest. I wish I could offer more info, but the story ends with me buying the car and offering it to someone here who might be interested in making it shiny once again.  I think this would make a really cool backdate Targa.  Throw some pre-74 bumpers, fenders and long hood on this car, polish the Targa bar and repaint the car in the original color and this would be a beautiful machine. This car surprisingly has very solid bones.  A little bit of paint bubbling in the usual places and some slight surface rust, but no rot whatsoever.  The paint is cracking, chipping, peeling and faded from sitting in the sun.  The rockers and rear floors at the rear jack points are bent from the typical improper jacking methods.  All too common on these cars unfortunately.  Easy to fix before paint is done.  The seats are dirty, but in very good condition overall.  A new carpet set and door panels along with a very thorough cleaning of the seats would do wonders for the car.  The engine fires right up and sounds as brilliant as a 3.0 should.  There is some leaking that appears to be coming from the oil return tubes.  Easy replacement.  The car only has 90,000 miles which is far less than most of what can be found on the market right now.  Seems like a ton of cars for sale with 150,000 - 250,000 miles.  With a proper paint job, interior refresh, and mechanical tune-up, this would be a very valuable car.  Great color combo and really cool original interior. Clean carfax with a straight body.  Only signs of damage are the door that was dented and replaced and the dented rocker panels from improper jacking.  Maine does not issue titles for vehicles this old.  Car is sold with a bill of sale. Please ask if you need additional photos.  I'll continue to add photos to the dropbox link as the auction progresses.  Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  Deposit equal to 10% of the sales price is due within 24 hours of auction ending, payable through paypal.  The balance shall be paid within 5 business days.  The car is to be picked up and removed within 30 days.  I can offer delivery in the Northeast for a fixed price to be negotiated and settled between myself and buyer before the end of the auction.  Otherwise, transportation logistics and costs to be the responsibility of the buyer. I am a hardcore Porsche guy.  I've been admiring and drooling over these cars since I was old enough to hold a matchbox car in my hand.  I love to wheel and deal, so if you have an interesting Porsche trade in mind, feel free to shoot me a message with an offer.  I am willing to trade up or down for the right car.  This would make a nice easy project for those who are too timid, or too busy to take on a more involved restoration.  If you want to get out of your Cayman or 997 for a chance at Air-cooled 911 ownership I am open to trades.  Any possible partial trade deals are to be negotiated and settled before the end of the auction.  Otherwise, it is implied that the deal is straight cash.  I'm an easy going enthusiast, and love to talk cars.  Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions.  Happy bidding and good luck!
