1970 Porsche 911S

Published February 10, 2015 by Rob

I am not old enough to know what sort of excitement the 911S brought on when it was first released. With horsepower ranging from 160 to 190 and only around 2300 lbs to move the 911S remains a good performer even by modern standards, but nearly 50 years ago I can imagine that this sort of performance, especially in a relatively small package, would have come as quite the revelation to the motoring world. For those seeking the ultimate performance Porsche the 911S followed the tried and true method of combining more power with fewer luxuries. Following its redesign in 1974 it would be quite a while before the S returned as a top of the line performer, which has made these early models some of the most highly desirable throughout the 911 range with excellent examples approaching $200K. The car we see here is a restored Silver Metallic 1970 Porsche 911S with a reported 74,915 miles on it.

Coupe Week: 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera

Published February 9, 2015 by Rob

As we begin our coupe week here at GCFSB we’ll start on the Porsche side with one of the examples that still falls into a spot on the market that is accessible to a wide range of buyers. The 3.2 Carrera isn’t the exceptional value it once was, but typically an earlier model, i.e. pre-G50 transmission, like this Indischrot 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera, located in Arizona, will still provide good bang for your buck and can serve as an excellent introduction to the 911 in general. With more than 163K miles this 911 certainly appears to have lead a full life, but if the mechanicals have been shown proper care during that time then it should still be capable of providing many more miles of excellent motoring.

1986 Porsche 930 Coupe

Published February 8, 2015 by Rob

Last week we showed a car very similar to this one, which perhaps was not quite in the condition I would have hoped. I was curious about the low bidding and, as these things typically go, there may have been good reasons for that low bidding. So we’ll try again with another Guards Red 1986 Porsche 930 Coupe, this one located in Connecticut. Like the other car this one too features Tan leather seating, which is easily my favorite look on a Guards Red 911. The contrast is simply wonderful and I have a strong preference for these over the more common all-Black interior. With sports seats and only 44,583 miles on it there’s certainly a lot to like about this particular 930 and it presents very well both inside and out. Even though we feature them quite regularly I still enjoy coming across these and am consistently struck by the way the well-appointed interior tends to belie the aggressive stance of the exterior. There is a monster lurking here that provides ample rewards to focused drivers.

1986 RUF BTR II – REVISIT

Published February 7, 2015 by Rob

The RUF BTR we recently featured is still up for auction, this time with the starting bid placed in more reasonable territory at $69,900. As noted below there are details needing some attention, particularly with regard to the engine, but as this seller continues to seek out a buyer, and the price perhaps creeps ever lower, an interested party willing to put the time in may come away with a fantastic performance machine. It’ll never have the value of a fully stock RUF built BTR, but it should still be capable of providing its owner a significant amount joy.

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

Published February 5, 2015 by Rob

We’re going to take a step back from the heights we traversed a couple days ago to return to 911s that fall much more within the realm of cars that reside within reach. Of course, the beauty of the 911 is that the basic genes that make models like the Carrera RS and Turbo 3.6 so highly sought after can still be found in an entirely standard Carrera. And for the buyer who desires a car to take on some back roads and wring everything out of it these are actually the cars that can elicit the most pleasure. So here we turn to a rare Granite Green Metallic 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, located in Arizona, with 92,129 miles on it.
