Please note that experience shows us that the photobucket of over 100 large pixel pictures posted here are in most cases best viewed and downloaded using the very latest and most updated version of the 'Firefox' browser as some other browsers and especially older browser versions are not capable of accommodating the size of the download. Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has been that it is very rare that a dealer will post all but the most flattering of professionally finished photographs. We prefer to post the many photos taken of the car, in sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight, in order for our prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust you will agree.
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this original California (with only two documented California owners since new) 1983 Porsche 911SC 3.0L 6 cylinder Cabriolet in the most desirable 'Guards Red' color with a black leather interior and with only 18K original miles!
Originally delivered and sold by the renown 'Bob Smith Porsche/Audi' dealership of Hollywood California on 8/18/1983 to a well known former fashion model and garaged in her Malibu, California home. She serviced the car at the same 'Bob Smith' dealership until the car was traded into 'Carlsen Motors Cars', the Porsche-Audi dealership of Palo Alto, California where it was then sold to only its second southern California owner on 5/4/1991 with only 11,947 original miles. The car's second California owner also always garaged and covered the car and reportedly it has never seen rain under his ownership since 1991 (25 years)!
The first 911 Cabriolet ever debuted in late 1982, as a 1983 model. This was Porsche's first cabriolet since the 356 model of the mid-1960s. A total of 4,214 were sold in its introductory year, despite its premium price relative to the open-top targa. Cabriolet versions of the 911 have been offered ever since.
This cars factory options include:
Sports steering wheel with elevated hub
Higher amperage battery
Light metal wheels - forged
Automatic speed control
Rectangular front fog lights (white)
Windshield green graduated tint
California type car
The car will be sold with all its original owner's manuals, handbooks and maintenance booklet and a thick file of service records. From looking at these extensive service records you will notice that at no time was any expense spared on this particular vehicle's preventive maintenance by it's former owners. The original factory 'Guards Red' color paint is in absolutely beautiful condition as is the original black leather upholstery and interior. The car has its original black soft top and tonneau cover which also boast pride of ownership with no flaws. The car has it's original spare wheel and factory wrapped tools located in their rightful storage compartment under the hood.
The car obviously drives exactly like a well maintained and serviced 911 SC with only 18K original miles should and must be driven to be fully appreciated and seen to be believed! Drives as when brand new, hardly broken in! This beautiful example of this highly desirable first year cabriolet 3.0L 911SC Porsche is truly for the most fastidious of collectors. The engine is obviously extremely strong and powerful and the 5 speed manual transmission has a buttery smooth transmission shift with no syncro problems as is typical for these year models and the temperature always remains cool. The car also boasts a clean CARFAX report confirming both its ownership history and mileage.
You will surely look long and hard to find a finer and well maintained example of this exceptionally low mileage and increasingly collectible 1983 911 SC Porsche in the sporty convertible bodystyle for the ultimate exhilarating driving experience in this most striking of color combination's available anywhere else!
