1982 Porsche 911SC Targa

1982 Porsche 911SC Targa

Published March 22, 2015 by Rob

Amid all of the high-dollar collectible Porsches there still exist plenty of options, though they dwindle with each passing year, for those seeking to find a reasonable value. Many of these value machines also benefit from sharing a market with those collectibles and with care they can be resold at a later date for sometimes more than their current purchase price. The key is to find cars that have been well cared for throughout their life. The 911 especially has had a lengthy history of stout engines so a car’s mileage is important, but its care is paramount. The 911SC fits most of these parameters perfectly: the engine has a history of long life and collectors haven’t taken as much notice outside of the best examples on the market. For fans of the Targa, value is even easier to find since the Targa has almost always been the lowest regarded of the models. I am a fan of the Targa so I always enjoy coming across these sorts of examples: here we have a India Red 1982 Porsche 911SC Targa, located in Massachusetts, with a Chocolate Brown interior and 110,772 miles on it.

1969 Porsche 911S Coupe

I am a sucker for almost any orange car. I love the color. I love its brightness and its depth and I think it’s a fantastic color on the 911. I have, on occasion, come across shades I didn’t like where the color looked, for lack of a better term, dull. There was no pop and it wasn’t for lack of cleanliness, it was just dull. The particular shade we see here, a Blood Orange 1969 Porsche 911S, located in Belgium, does not suffer from any such dullness. Blood Orange is a rarely seen color and though it is difficult to appreciate from the pictures we see here, it leans slightly toward the red end of the spectrum – as the name would suggest. I find it incredibly striking. Obviously, an orange car is not for everyone; there is zero subtlety and it will attract attention at all times. But if you can get around those issues, I think it’s one of the best. On a long-hood 911S? It’s stunning.

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6

Published March 21, 2015 by Rob

Earlier this week I was reading an article about rare 911s and was struck by how many were produced from the 964. I think I’ve said this before, but the 964 always seems like a model that Porsche couldn’t decide how exactly it wanted to proceed. The variety is somewhat staggering, especially considering that for much of the 911’s prior life Porsche had made do with a few standard models and some special editions thrown in for fun. The 964 Turbo was one of the cars that seemed under constant change. That is, in part, somewhat accidental since upon its release Porsche had not yet finished development on a turbocharged version of the 964’s 3.6 liter engine, and thus chose to carry over the 3.3 liter of the 930. Naturally there was constant development until that 3.6 could be released. The wait was worth it. The Turbo 3.6, and later Turbo S, was the final of the production rear-drive Turbos and as such provide the fullest sense of the diabolical dynamics that had made the 911 Turbo such a hallowed beast from its inception. Refinements to the suspension and braking helped keep everything under control, but ultimately there is only so much that can be done. The particular example seen here is a Polar Silver 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6, located in Alabama, with Grey leather interior and 53,837 miles.

1980 Porsche 911SC Weissach Edition

1980 Porsche 911SC Weissach Edition

Published March 19, 2015 by Rob

It is sometimes difficult to keep up with the many special edition vehicles Porsche has produced over the years. A byproduct of their limited model offerings is that there is a fairly persistent need to provide special edition models in order to keep buyers interested and coming back to the showroom. Some of these models, especially those that have come out of the Sonderwunsch and Exclusive programs, are some of the best (and rarest) 911s on the market. The edition we see here, a 1980 Porsche 911SC Weissach Edition with a mere 9,508 miles, is one of those special editions that is more cosmetic than anything else, meaning these aren’t one of the super rare, jaw-dropping, machines like a 964 Turbo S. The primary distinguishing features of the Weissach are the exterior color, especially when Platinum Metallic as we see here, and the interior, which is a contrast of Doric Grey and Burgundy. This one also claims to have had the brakes from the 930 fitted from the factory, but I’m unaware of that being a standard offering on the Weissach Edition.

The car we see here, a Wimbledon Green 1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe, comes with a high degree of excitement along with some annoyance. The excitement comes from the color. These are the sorts of cars we are always thankful Porsche produced. Unfortunately, this seller has chosen to provide only 2 pictures of the car’s exterior. Yeah. So we’ll have to go by the possibilities. This 964 should be about as pristine as a second-hand 911 can get given that it has not even traveled 9K miles, and the few pictures we do see show a car in excellent shape. Wimbledon Green (along with some other lighter greens) is one of the few colors where I strongly prefer a black interior. I really like the contrasting darkness the black provides and on the car here the interior looks in particularly good condition and is very capable of providing that contrast. We have been coming across quite a few extremely low mileage 911s lately perhaps owing to the market increases we’ve seen and owners hoping to see just how much value they can get for their collectibles.
