For sale is this beautiful 1980 Porsche 911SC promptly named ‘little princess’. This car has spent all of its time on the west coast of Canada, and has lived full time on Quadra Island over two decades. Known to have four owners in its history, the little princess has been lovingly owned and used.
This ‘Super-Carrera’ is built like the quality German item you know and expect, this example doesn't shy away from its tank like feel. Doors all close with that famous ‘thud’ and no rattles or creaks can be heard from behind the wheel.
Power is strong from that beautifully smooth 3.0L flat-six behind the rear wheels. Power was originally rated at 188HP and 195 lb-ft of torque, and it feels like every little bit of it is still there. Especially considering the cars weight of 2750lbs. Certainly a well balanced performer that commands good driving ethics and rewards as such.
There are a few minor leaks which appear to be coming from the LH/RH valve covers and the transmission seems to have a minor weeping leak, but it always starts up without any effort and doesn't appear to leave any drops of oil once parked. These motors are known to be seriously stout due to the internals of the Turbo block, but without the added pressure of a turbo.
The exterior is coated in Mocha Black, and is a mirror image at all times of daylight. In 2007 a full exterior repaint was conducted by Comox valley restoration shop, Original restorations. All billing on this job are available for showing. The total for the work conducted was $13,532.22. Overall the body shows very well. There are minor points to make though. Along the LH rear fender there is a small blemish that has come up through the paint. Its difficult to notice but present. As well, on the engine-lid, by the 911SC emblem, a break in the paint has allowed rust to bubble underneath. It is as well small, but certainly something to disclose.
I have over 300 detailed photos of this car that I am eager to share with prospective buyers. In those photos you will see a few small surface spots of rust. Two small spots on the LH/RH door drain, and on the edge of the steep pads on the rockers. They are small surface rust areas and could easily be dealt with, but I didn't want to cover up anything on the car and show it honestly.
16’ Fuchs alloy wheels are present and wrapped in 205/55/16 tires that have great tread. Suspension has been refreshed with Koni struts and feels fantastic. Steering is as tight and responsive as you would expect from an old Porsche and the brakes work as intended. In March of 2023 a oil change was completed, along with new rear brake callipers and pads. Bill Totalling $3,539.64
The interior has the lovely old leather smell all old Porsches share. The controls are still tight and most items work. This car is fitted with a sunroof, although it does not currently open under its own power. The leather sport seats are super supportive and all actions work. There is slight wear on the drivers seat, and the rear seat, lower seat pads are starting to loose some horse hairs. Windows are automatic and work beautifully. A new headliner was fitted to the car around the time of the restoration in 2007. As shown is photos there is a part of the dash that is separating. Its minor, but important to note. Another interior item that is not currently working is the heater. The heat exchangers have rotted out and is in need of replacement for it to work again. This was only used as a summer car, so it hasn't been an issue in my world.
Underside photos are available upon request. There is some undercoating which has allowed surface rust to scale beneath the oil lines, but it all looks rather minor.
I have all service history from 1998 and onward. Service until 2002 was all done on the mainland, but then under a new ownership change, service would mainly resume at European specialty services in Nanaimo and Isle tech on Quadra Island.
The trip odometer was recently reset and caused the main odometer to not function anymore. Since this time I have a detailed sheet listing driving miles, with date. (Roughly 150kms) has been present.
I have four Porsche service manuals to go with sale. Additionally a fitted car cover, owners manual and bentley service manual are included with the purchase.
A major reason for the sale of the ‘little princess’ is due to the lack of use. Since 2012 a little over 1500km’s have been put on and it has always stored in a dry, enclosed space.
In May a professional appraisal was done by Oceanside car appraisals. They returned with a market value price of $83,300.
This is an amazing car which shows really well in person. It drives even better then it looks and I am sure the new owner will be happily engaged with this beautiful Porsche for a long time.
I am asking for $65,000. Mechanical inspections welcome, and test drives are encouraged, although only with a healthy deposit and with obvious serious interest.
Please call for email for best response.
Located in the Comox Valley, Vancouver Island.
