1980 Porsche 911SC Coupe Euro Spec

This 1980 Porsche 911SC, originally sold in Berlin, Germany, was imported into the US by an American fighter pilot, in 1985. The car was serviced by a reputable Porsche repair shop in the Seattle area until it was sold in 1994 to the mechanic that had worked on it since 1985. The car is finished in it’s original color of Guards Red, over black leatherette interior with very rare velour Pasha inserts. Power comes from the original 3.0-liter flat-six engine (type 930/09) mated to it’s original type 5-speed manual (type 915/62) gearbox. Recent compression test measured 155psi in each cylinder. This 911SC is being offered with it’s original owner’s manual and service book, import paperwork when imported into the US, service records and a clean Washington title.

The front black leatherette seats feature freshly upholstered velour Pasha inserts and are manually adjustable.  The rear seats retain their original Pasha inserts.  A stock 3-spoke steering wheel in very good condition is retained, and a Kenwood cassette stereo is mounted in the dash.  The stock VDO gauges are functioning properly.  A 180-mph speedometer was installed following the vehicle’s importation to the US.
