1978 Porsche 911 SC review from North America
"Fan Tastic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This 911 has been bullet proof, but I have done quite a bit of work on the engine just to upgrade the entire auto. I have probably spent close to $3,000 US on the motor and another $5,000 on a new paint job.
I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere in the US.
General comments?
What can anyone say, but it's a Porsche. Just a fantastic car.
