1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16

1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16

Published March 17, 2015 by Paul

The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 is still one of the best bargains for eighties speed hunters. Sure, it’s well known this isn’t the fastest sports sedan of the era, but with Cosworth tuning, a tasteful bodykit and that dog-leg 5-speed manual gearbox, it’s the stuff of dreams for enthusiasts. It also has a colorful touring car race history in its portfolio. As such, many of these 190E 2.3-16s were run hard and put up wet. Every now and then, we’ll come across a really well preserved example, such as this example for sale in Florida. With just over 50k miles, this one is a minter.

Shark Showdown: Porsche 928S4 vs. 928GT

Shark Showdown: Porsche 928S4 vs. 928GT

Published March 15, 2015 by Paul

Before the ultimate iteration of Porsche’s V8 GT car appeared for the 1993 model year, the 928 lineup went through some twists and turns to separate the car into two categories for those wanting a bit more sport and those wanting a bit more comfort. The manual gearbox option was thus dropped on the 928S4 for the 1990 model year, making it the clear choice for those looking for a high speed cruiser. If you wanted to be a bit more involved and row your own, you would have to choose the 928GT, a model which debuted in 1989. The GT would also offer stiffer suspension and a RDK tire pressure monitoring system.

First we’ll take a look at this 1989 928S4 for sale in British Columbia with 75k miles on the clock. This one is a rare non-sunroof model in need of a little fettling.

1982 Porsche 911SC

1982 Porsche 911SC

The 911SC used to be the go-to 911 for those seeing a low cost of entry and a modicum of reliability with the 911 game. However, the market for early and late air-cooled 911s is pushing the values up for the Super Carrera and in comparison to other models, they are a relative bargain and a good starting point for the beginner 911 owner. One of the more recent 911s I’ve driven was a 911SC Targa, like the Euro market example we see here for sale in Pennsylvania. It was during the production run of the SC that the 911s fate would be decided. Peter Schutz, CEO at the time, would see to it that this iconic sports car would live on.

1993 Mercedes-Benz 500E

1993 Mercedes-Benz 500E

Published March 10, 2015 by Paul

The 1993 Porsche 928GTS we saw last Friday raised the question of how high is too high in terms of mileage. The popularity of the GTS these days still has people clamoring for the well-used examples, given this Porsche’s rarity. Another rarity to emerge from Zuffenhausen did not have the Porsche crest on its hood. Rather, it had the Three-Pointed Star. The 500E/E500 is one of the most legendary Mercedes-Benzes to emerge over the last three decades. Few were built, but they still made an impact. This 500E for sale in Las Vegas has over 188,000 miles on the clock, but has been in the care of just two owners, having been serviced at a Mercedes dealership all its life.

Motorsports Monday: 1989 Porsche 928GT

Motorsports Monday: 1989 Porsche 928GT

Published March 9, 2015 by Paul

Motorsports Monday often revolves around Porsches, as we saw with the 1984 911 Carrera that Carter posted earlier today. However, it’s rather rare you see a 928 of any sort prepped for competition use. More of a grand touring machine, these wouldn’t be on the radar of most track day enthusiasts. However, this 1989 928GT 5-speed for sale in Vancouver, British Columbia, has been prepared just so, with an FIA log book to go along with it. Care to take the road (or track) less traveled? This P-car is for you.
