Nathan Merz walks us through simple things we should inspect before we take a 1978-83 911 SC to a mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection. Much of what applies in this video applies to most air-cooled 911s - or any car, for that matter. So join Nathan as he points out areas to inspect on the exterior, interior, underneath the car, and during a test drive.

Awesome video, not just for buying a 911 but just buying a 2nd hand in general.
Great video ! It confirms a lot about my 81 SC that I have owned 35 years. I got lucky that the original owner took good care of it ! This really shows what to look for on an SC !
Great to hear!
So many questions answered. Can’t thank you guys enough. Especially about the CIS.
What a great 911 SC nerd out. I say that with gratitude.
I would love to learn more about the challenges and solutions with A/C in aircooled 911's. This is one weakness that stops me from looking at these seriously. It's a deal breaker in Georgia.
Invaluable videos PCA, please continue to bring more of these videos working through the various early model Porsche cars. I have to say it would be interesting to have a video from Nathan giving us a perspective on his collection. Given his knowledge of Porsche, it would be informative to understand his approach to collecting, especially that old Ford pickup sitting in the background😊
More videos with Nathan to come!
@bluesky9093 thanks for the kind words! While you will generally see a car or two of mine in many of my videos, you won't ever see me create a video featuring all of them as I detest the word/connotation of "collection" as it implies just acquiring for the purpose of acquiring, for some sort of financial gain/instrument or to impress others. I don't want to impress anyone, I buy what lights my heart on fire regardless of what others might think, therefore some of my cars might be interesting and others you might think, what the ..... ! I encourage everyone to buy what excites them! For example that 1966 Ford F100 in the background? I LOVE LOVE LOVE that truck, I get giddy just walking past it, hence why it lives in my garage. That's the spirit I want to encourage!
Great video. I have an 83 and it has another rare option that should be checked for. A factory alarm system. There is a separate small key that enables/disables inside the drivers door. Always check to see if there is a key slot there. If so, make sure the owner has the additional small key for it. Check system by turning on then close door and open after a couple seconds. The alarm should go off. Disable by turning key back.
Longhood deep dive & Pre-PPI next please 🙏🏻
Thanks to Nathan & Damien for these great videos on the SC. I drove a Targa for most of the 90s & loved it. I still recall a yellow SC with some Elephant Racing suspension upgrades that was on Craigslist for $12,500 in Olympia. A lot of life was happening, seven cars including an F 250 Camper Special not as nice as your lowered green & white beauty. Have fun.
Loved my 79 SC, modded it to the best of the car, it was a go carts. Sold it like an idiot for $17k before the “wave” 😢 Agree with you, it took my 4 years to find what I wanted…
Is there a link to the CIS book or is there a title on the book?
Absolute EXCELLENT description!!
Thank you Nathan for taking us through a very informative
video. Would love to see a feature on the 65-73 911s!
How the guy who starred in Office Space is now a Porschephile PCA content creator is pretty wild…..
This was an excellent video! I love my SC such a solid car. I would love to see a series of videos like this covering 944’s. Maybe an early NA late NA and S. Know they are not as loved but I find my early NA equally fun to drive and they just don’t get the coverage the 911 gets.
Noted.
@marcsmith2033 I would LOVE to do a 944 video and it is on my to do list! I have owned many over the years and you might even spot my 1986 944 Turbo in the background! When you say they aren't as loved, maybe not as widely, but for those of us in the know, we LOVE them!!
Thank you
“This guy, he would be hard to spend any time with….”😂. If you are trying to sell him a car, maybe 🤣. Great content. Used a lot of it from prior videos in my 930 purchase.
Appreciate that
QUESTION: I have a 1971 911T. I usually let the car idle for a few minutes before driving. Is that not good practice? Nathan noted that air cooled cars should be driven lightly right away after starting.
Awesome video as always! Nathan one question for you is: what is that "tag" that has 2 rivets on it on the driver side A pillar? Seems all of the air cooled cars have it and always wondered what they were for.
@Mar3nBu that is the paint color tag, which was eliminated after 1980. You can learn more about it on the complete SC video: th-cam.com/video/EPo5Pv5og9g/w-d-xo.html starting at ~1:03
Actually I was asking about the “tag” on the A pillar that is middle high next to the windshield. It doesn’t say anything but always wondered what it was.
Congrats on these videos about the SC. What a great car it is ! Lots of tips here, even for people who know their Porsches. I noticed the seconds hand on the clock is not moving. That’s not normal, is it?
@francoislopin6372 the orange hand on the clock is NOT a second hand, it's a manual timer. For example if you wanted to demarcate a certain time you can set it to that spot on the clock. So they never move.
@@nathanmerz another great learning, I didn't know ! Thanks Nathan !
Hi Nathan , very knowledgable video
Even if a lot of things common to 3.2 is there any pre PPI for the 3.2 1987 ? Thanks
Boom, Carrera 3.2 inspection from awhile back: th-cam.com/video/isCMSo-PHYk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vnUkpYPGH7ar9llq
Thanks PCA 😊
Great video thank you. Would have details on the little blue book for trouble shooting CIS please? Thanks Andy
Also, fyi the full review video on the SC is now saying it has been removed when you click on the link?
Thank you. Fixed🫡
