Many times in our search for interesting and rare cars to feature we pass over the regular cars; cars that are in good shape and would make for great options for many prospective buyers, but that don’t immediately jump off the page. Or, at least, I find myself doing that. The negative side of this, of course, is that these are the cars that typically come with the most reasonable prices, a point that is particularly true with the 911 where any sense of exclusivity quickly raises the bar on value. I think this 911 fits within that ‘regular car’ category and while we can never be totally assured of such the hope is that it will also come at a decent price. Here we have a Guards Red 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, located in Oregon, with 98,750 miles on it.

A HARD TO FIND CAR FROM THIS ERA WITH ORIGINAL PAINT IN THIS CONDITION.
THIS CAR IS FOR SALE IN OTHER PLACES AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY
Any of the G50 Carreras always come with the possibility of the seller seeking much too high a price. Bidding here does not yet reveal whether that will be the case since I would still expect the reserve to be a bit above the current bid of $31,100. So on that point we will have to wait. But the rest of this 911 comes across how we’d like. It’s said to have a full maintenance history available including documentation of its recent engine rebuild. It still retains its original paint and other than the radio appears mostly original. We don’t see a lot of the interior, but it looks to be in a condition consistent with the rest of the car. I wouldn’t call it pristine, but as a driver-quality 911 it shows a lot of promise. As I said above I don’t think there’s anything amazingly interesting about this 911 other than it being an honest G50-equipped Carrera in nice shape. There’s a lot to be said for that though and should be enough to attract interest even without special options or flashy colors.
