In 1978, two examples of the Porsche 911 SC, with a three liter engine, were prepared for the East African Safari. One of these cars finished in second place and took another step in making the car a legend. With that first participation in an African rally, the manufacturer gained the necessary experience on the road to taking first place in the Paris-Dakar in 1984. This is why so many still aspire to own one.

Customized with copies of the model (with four wheel drive) would also win race, named the 959. When owning one, you come to the conclusion that, despite a relatively quiet ride on roads, the old three liter is pretty thirsty. About 1 liter to 8 kilometers has been the known average consumption, but you can take that for granted, given the amount of "smiles per gallon you get".

The vehicle's throttle works with a very short stroke and the three-liter powered rear responds enthusiastically. The brakes have been ratified, but really do not feel like they do in a modern car. You have to drive with a bit more conviction. The gears need to be gotten used to, and many first time owners seem to have some difficulties with driving them at first.

The first meters of your first drive are usually filled with start-stop moments, and that's not very inspiring. This is because the vehicle needs to be driven, rather than driving itself like most lesser cars do. The clutch is indeed hard to operate, but the Porsche makes it easy to put in motion. The first to second gear is not difficult in itself, but it is unclear whether you have loaded it, as the acceleration feels the same in third.

Many times, fulfilling a dream can easily become a disappointment, and you might be opening a real Pandora's box. If you do decide to test one, before buying and your rain radar predicts a happy dry afternoon, you will be in for a real treat. With a Targa, of course, you will want the weather to be dry all the time.

Outside the actual purchase, there is often the question of what the cost of owning such a car is now. Outside the normal maintenance (which can rise significantly with from the clutches' prices), you also have other things. The purchase of the car comes first, so remember to budget for insurance. Always consider what kinds of requirements the car and your garage may have. Plan for a place where you would be able to store it and for example, a Class 3 alarm on the car itself.

When you eventually get the vehicle of your dreams and it needs some care, before tinkering to fix it, you should make sure that you have full understanding of the engine. The shape indeed looks good, when well maintained.You should try obtain a nice specimen, with a beautiful, full color.

When buying a Porsche 911 SC, ensure that the price is reasonable for, with such low mileage. It will be even better if it has been maintained by a specialist. Good options to look out for are air conditioning, an on- board computer, cup holders and rims.
