Porsche 911 SC Targa 3.0 – Wine Red Metallic – extensively restored – engine & transmission overhauled

For sale is a beautiful 1980 Porsche 911 SC Targa 3.0 in the elegant original color Wine Red Metallic (color code X8) with black leather interior.

The vehicle was originally delivered to the U.S. market and reimported to Germany in August 2011. As part of an extensive restoration, the body, interior, and key technical components were all refurbished.

Particularly noteworthy are the comprehensive engine overhaul, the rebuild of the 915 manual transmission, and the completely overhauled braking system. The documented restoration work totals approximately €21,000 (materials) and is listed in a Classic-Data appraisal from September 2020.

History and Maintenance

Since the extensive technical overhaul, the Porsche has been driven only about 13,000 kilometers.

The vehicle has been regularly maintained and serviced annually, including oil changes. The total mileage cannot be verified due to a previous odometer replacement.

To the best of my knowledge, the vehicle has never been in an accident.

The Classic Data documentation dated September 18, 2020 (case number 20/1809) provides a detailed overview of the restoration work performed.
