Fast fun wicked, but expensive to maintain
2 Fuel injectors clogged.
AC is dead.
Very fast and fun machine. Expensive to maintain, but has above averege reliability for a 28 year old car.

The 1978 911sc is a fantastic classic!
There were some small oil leaks that required repair.
The windshield wiper fluid motor stopped working.
The fuel relay switch broke.
This car is fantastic! My absolute dream car. The experience of owning this classic is better than expected. It's a daily driver and what fun it is. The comments I usually receive from strangers is that this model has a "bullet proof engine." I just know that considering its age, I've had very little go wrong with it and it has never left me stranded. It's a joy to drive. Pure engine.

It is a very well engineered car to last so long.
Air conditioner compressor leaked and failed.
Alternator stopped working at 180,000 miles.
Window washer pump seized. It was easy to fix.
Shift linkage bushings and joint wore out.
Car leaks a drop of oil after driving.
Heat exchangers rusted out.
Distributor wore out its bearings and began squealing.
Capacitive Discharge unit failed twice since I bought the car.
One tiny tear on driver's seat.
This car is pretty solid for being 25 years old.
It still goes up to 120mph pretty quickly.
It handles precisely.
It gets positive comments from strangers all the time.
People leave business cards under the windshield wipers with " if you ever want to sell, please call".
It's expensive to buy replacement parts for it.
It is a difficult car to work on.
After fixing all of the neglected items that had worn out, I've been driving it with only regular maintenance required.
It passed the tough emissions test newly acquired in our state. The technician said it was well below the minimum levels to pass.

Hello.
I am in a process of purchasing a '77 Porsche 911 with about 140,000 miles on it. What should I look for and how expensive are parts. Person is asking $10,000, is that a reasonable price. Thank you, email me back at matijafojs@gmail.com.
