1978 Porsche 911 SC review from North America
"Classic Porsche looks and performance, a real head turner"

Alternator went out at 74K.
AC never worked.
Brake supply lines and brakes at 62K.
Fuel line from chassis connector at 70K.
General comments?
Very powerful and reliable. Have had remarkably low problems for a 30 year old performance car. Gets about 27-28 mpg on the road, about 19 in traffic around town. Parts and service are expensive!
Love the car!
