1973 Porsche 911T Coupe

Published July 20, 2014 by Rob

1974 brought with it one of the more significant, and unloved to many, design changes for the Porsche 911. Gone was the hood that stretched fully to the front of the car replaced by the rough protrusions of federally-mandated impact bumpers. Now, to be fair, these bumpers didn’t destroy the design and the 911 continued to be a very sharp looking car with few alterations to its appearance over the next 15 years. Still, something was lost and the pre-1974 cars possess an originality in their intention that other 911s struggle to match. The car featured here comes from the final year of the long-hood design, a really pretty Gemini Blue 1973 Porsche 911T Coupe, located in Pennsylvania. If the stated mileage can be verified, this would qualify as one of the lowest mileage pre-1974 911s I’ve come across.

1969 Porsche 912 Targa

Published July 19, 2014 by Rob

Typically when we feature a 912 it’s because we hope to highlight its relative value compared to a similar vintage 911. These are, after all, basically a 911 design but with a flat-4 engine rather than the 911’s flat-6 and tend to come far cheaper. Well, what about the other end of the 912 spectrum: the pristine, collector-quality, 912? Like the 911, a really nice 912 can command a fairly high price, though still far short of a 911 of comparable quality. The example featured here is a Polo Red 1969 Porsche 912 Targa, located in Connecticut, with black interior. 1969 was the last year for the 912 (not counting it’s brief reappearance in 1976 as the 912E) and, like the 911, it featured a slightly longer wheelbase than in previous years. We don’t come across very many Targas from these years (whether 911 or 912) so it’s always nice to see where the design began. This particular car is the hard-window Targa and appears to be very low-mileage, though just how low is a little uncertain.

1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

Published July 18, 2014 by Rob

We’ve had a brief reprieve from the hot and humid days of summer here in the Mid-Atlantic and what better way to enjoy the sun and wind than with some open-top motoring. A Targa provides an interesting alternative for drivers who don’t care for the full convertible experience and while I’ve always been a little ambivalent towards them in general this all-black example strikes the perfect look and nearly changes my whole perspective. Here we have a Black on Black 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa, located in Alabama, with 139,500 miles on it. The ’86 model year was the last year the 911 made use of the 915 transmission before Porsche switched to the G50 so these tend to command slightly lower values than the cars produced from ’87-’89.

1987 Porsche 944

Published July 17, 2014 by Rob

Alright, it’s time to go shopping in the bargain-Porsche aisle. In a world where poor-condition 911s can command five-figure price tags and pristine examples well into the six figures, the 944 remains the everyman’s Porsche. Sure, one will never be as exciting as a 911 Turbo, but the combination of a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive always provides a recipe for fun. So, if you’re looking to get into a Porsche for the first time, or perhaps you just want a good car for track days without having to worry about writing it off, then an entry-level 944 makes a great option. The example featured here is a 1987 Porsche 944 Coupe, located in Texas, that looks fantastic in its Burgundy paint.

1983 Porsche 930 Cabriolet

Published July 16, 2014 by Rob

The 930 has always possessed its own ’80s flare that few other cars can eclipse. Make that 930 a Cabriolet, cloak it in metallic paint and give it a nearly white interior and now we’re really talking ’80s. Lately we haven’t seen nearly as many 930 Cabriolets come up for sale relative to the Coupe so when we do come across one it always grabs our attention. The case is no different with this eye-catching Platinum Metallic 1983 Porsche 930 Cabriolet, located in Colorado, with Parchment leather interior and 87,898 miles. Like a few of the recent 930s we’ve featured here at GCFSB this one is a RoW 930 as the 930 was unavailable in the US market during this time.
