Hey Guys! Bored, testing the water. I currently have a 1982 Porsche 911SC 163K miles on the chassis. 40K miles on rebuilt engine. Top end rebuilt due to head studs. 7K rebuild. Recent tune up. Not my daily driver. A sometime car in my collection. No rust! Not a project car.

I would like to get into a nice CS 73' perfectibility. Any leads or help would be great! I always wanted a CS. Can be contacted at [email protected] THANKS!

Why 74?

I guess... I can always get them replace? Or any year would do. I am not looking for a project. Thanks!
 
It looks like you need to do your homework. You remember when you bought your SC...should you get an early one or a late one. Should you get an 89? Well, the same applies here. These cars are rust happy...much more than the 911s. You might evolve and think you might want a CSi (fuel injections) instead of a carburator one. I think the pre 74 are more desirable than post. You also need to drive one....after having a 911 82SC.. you will not be impressed with the 3.0CS. It is somewhere between a Mercedes 280SE Coupe and your Porsche...closer to the MB.
Your Porsche is tight, bumpy, sporty, fast, hugs the road, feels the road, great brakes...you really think you are in a sport's car. You will not get the same feeling with these car (unless its modified).
I am new and I just bought a 73 CSi that is rust free and will start a repaint and interior/glass/rubber/ restoration at Coupeking. I own a Porsche 83SC, and a 68 280SL....and the ride on the CSi is much closer to my SL than the Porsche.
You will also find that there are many well restored Porsches and that
parts are readily available. Much tougher to get parts on these cars, and there are very few complete restorations compared to the 911s. You can spend lots of money restoring it and for reasons I am not quite sure its hard to get your money back on them (well, thats true for all cars)
What you will get is a beautifully scupltured car that is sexy. I am fortunate to have both...somedays I want to drive one, another day I will feel like driving another.
Finally, Porsche people...specially the 356s are into numbers matching and documentation. You will find that for the CS there is much less of that since sometimes it is cheaper and better to put in a better engine or a 5 speed transmission than keeping the car 100% stock. Our 911s already come with a great motor and a 5 speed transmission!
The most important thing is to make sure it is a rust free car...or you will pay. Sometimes you wont know till its torn apart for restoration.
Take your time, learn, learn, learn....before you do anything else. I would not trade that beautiful car of yours for a CS...but I would add one
to your collection! If you do trade...again MAKE SURE YOU WILL BE HAPPY!! See one, touch one, feel one drive one.
That said...what a great looking car the CS is!
Good luck with your search

This is my opinion and I am sticking with it!!! :D

thanks

thanks for the reply. when i was a student i worked for this papa mama computer shop and the owner had a CS. It was a 2800, I forget the year. but that thing was beatiful! He did let drive it. I totally understand the feeling between the two. My first collector car was a 88 M3. As time went by I got into Porsche. My current collection consist of mercedes benz 99' SL 500,mercedes benz 89' 300CE 82 Porsche 911SC, 69'Porsche 912,82 Toyota Land Cruiser,95 Land Rover Defender 90, ( not show boating) I appreciate your write and look forward to owning one of these sexy CS, one day. I been looking around and it's so hard to find a good. Extra thanks for the reply again!!!
