2k: Too Good To Be True? 1982 Porsche 911SC Targa Project

There is an old saying that if something is too good to be true...it probably isn't.  We sure hope this isn't the case for the $2,500 1982 Porsche 911SC Targa project found on the SF Bay Area craigslist.  Tip from Kaibeezy.

15k: Luke, It's A Trap! 1979 Porsche 911 SC; 43k Original Miles

This Darth Vader colored 1979 Porsche 911 SC offer in San Francisco, CA craigslist came as a tip from Kaibeezy who writes: "almost seems like a trap - leave your phone on and bring pepper spray." The 15k asking price and 43k miles on the odometer has us scratching our heads.  The craigslist ad originally listed it incorrectly as a 1974, but now has been updated to 1979, meaning at least one person with passing knowledge of 911 bumpers has called the seller, informed him of his error and not put money down on the spot.  How bad can the 'cosmetic issues' really be?

10k: Targa Acquired: 1982 Porsche 911 SC Targa

Out of all Porsche 911s, the 1978-1983 SC is the most likely to be featured on the pages of this website because examples can still be found for a decent price.  This isn't to say that the 911 market isn't high overall (especially perplexing is the early 911 2.0 prices as they are some of the least useable and most delicate 911s, but command Ferrari prices...) but while 993 are hard to find under $30k, 964 under $20k, you can occasionally get an SC for $10k that isn't a pile of rusty junk.  Find this 1982 Porsche 911 SC Targa in West Mifflin, PA for $10,200 via racingjunk.com.  Tip from Matt S.

10k: Blue Targa Special: 1978 Porsche 911SC Targa, Market Watch

Editor's note: I want point out that there is a very bad pun in the tag line for this feature.  See if you can 'get it' before you finish reading.  Like most internet pundits, we spend our days surfing the web for good stuff, polishing our rock collections, fixing broken tools from Harbor Freight and generally maligning the over-inflated state of the classic 911 market.  It only seems like yesterday when a good SC could be found for about $10k...and...hang..on, did Hunsbloger perfect his time machine?...Is it 1998 again?  Find this 1978 Porsche 911SC Targa for sale in Boiling Springs, SC currently bidding on ebay for the bargain price of $11,211 with 3 hours to go.

15k: 1978 Porsche 911 SC; LS1 Swap!

The Porsche 911 is motoring icon, a classic, something that is sipped rather than swigged and treated with care.  Shoving an American V8 into the back is the equivalent of mixing Olde English with Dalmore 40 year old single malt...and we love every tail-sliding, tire-chirping, gurgly-idling inch of it.  This 1978 Porsche 911 SC has a GM LS1 V8 in the back and is for sale in Texas City, TX currently bidding on ebay for $13,100 with 2 days to go.

10k: 1983 Porsche 911 SC Targa

The Porsche 911 is surely on every car-nut's bucket list, its iconic shape, raspy exhaust note and bare-bones performance is exemplary but prices in the last 10 years have skyrocketed to downright silly.  Its hard to get into a decent running/driving 911 for Daily Turismo money (ok, cheap ones do come up every once in a blue moon), and its great to see a running, low mile example for sale like this 1983 Porsche 911 SC Targa for sale in the SF Bay Area, CA for $12,500 via craigslist.  (Another fantastic tip from DT regular Kaibeezy)
