Love at First Ride: 1983 Porsche 911SC Garaged Since 2005!

Every classic Porsche has a story to tell, like this heartwarming tale of a 1983 Porsche 911SC Coupe, recently discovered in a Los Angeles garage. This particular 911 didn’t just transport its owners through the winding roads and freeways of Southern California – it played cupid in a remarkable love story.

The tale begins at the Los Angeles Times, where Diane, who would later become the car’s devoted caretaker, kept a photo of a Porsche on her desk. When her colleague Edwin noticed the picture, it sparked a playful challenge: whoever bought a Porsche first would give the other a ride. Edwin, with the help of his friend Otis, rose to the occasion, purchasing this stunning 911SC from Rusnak Porsche in 1983. That promised ride led to an unexpected journey – to the altar!

Edwin and Diane enjoyed this dream car throughout the 1980’s. Edwin unfortunately passed in the late 80s. Diane then took the wheel, creating her own adventures with the Porsche until 2005. Among her most cherished memories is an exhilarating drive to Hemet, where she experienced the thrill of reaching 140 mph. Now in her mid-nineties and in hospice care, Diane’s eyes still sparkle when she recalls the sensation of the 911 hugging the road at high speed.

She had planned to pass it down to her nephew, who had admired it since childhood, and promised it would be his when the time was right -provided he could arrange to collect it himself. However, as often happens, life took its course – he grew up, started a family, and built his own business, while the Porsche waited patiently in its garage.
