1989 Porsche 911 Speedster

Published June 26, 2014 by Rob

I tend to go back and forth about whether I prefer the look of the 3.2 Carrera Speedster or that of the 964-based Carrera 2 Speedster, but there is something about the particular car featured here that really catches my eye in ways that others have not. Either Speedster is, of course, intended to harken back to the original 356 Speedster and to a degree the narrow-bodied Carrera 2 seems to come closer to the mark in that regard. There were a small number of narrow-bodied 3.2 Carrera Speedsters made, but they are so few that I can’t recall coming across one. Getting to the car here, as the market for the 3.2 Carrera has intensified I’ve been curious about the effect that would have on the rare variants of these models. The Speedster has always been very expensive so we may wonder how much more value they may show in the near term, but if this seller can even approach this asking price, then it would appear that the Speedster market has increased quite a bit as well. Here we have a gorgeous Grand Prix White 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster with red leather interior, located in Monterey, showing 22,300 miles.

1986 Porsche 911 Carrera

Published June 25, 2014 by Rob

In 1987 Porsche introduced a new transmission for the 911 to replace the outgoing 915 5-speed that had been in use for the previous 15 years. The G50 5-speed was a welcome introduction providing increased durability and improved shifting and has consistently been a strong selling point for the later 3.2 Carrera models. This change has also had the effect of slightly suppressing the value of the earlier models, making a 1986 3.2 Carrera an interesting proposition for those in search of driver-quality cars and don’t mind the slightly lesser transmission. The 911 featured here fits into that sphere of driver-quality ’86 Carreras. This Guards Red Coupe, located in Miami, with 137,750 miles should be obtainable at a reasonable discount relative to many other examples we see on the current market.

1971 Porsche 911E

Published June 23, 2014 by Rob

During various periods, and especially with the modern cars, Porsche has offered two basic trim levels of the 911: the base and the S. There were then a wide variety of ways to configure each trim level, but that was the standard starting point. For a couple of years early on, however, there was one additional trim level – the E. First introduced in 1969, the E occupied a middle spot in the lineup between the entry-level Touring and the top of the range Super, offering both improved performance through its mechanically fuel-injected engine and improved ride quality through upgraded suspension and interior trim. Essentially, the E was the luxury model, while the S was the sport model. But after 1973 the 911E was no more. Values for these models on the current market tend to follow their position in the lineup with the E showing much better value than the T, though both lag well behind the highly sought after S. The car featured here is a Light Ivory 1971 Porsche 911E Coupe, located in New York, with 83,479 miles.

1968 Porsche 912 Coupe

Published June 22, 2014 by Rob

For a brief period, the Porsche 912 enjoyed quite a bit of success. Released in 1965 and serving as Porsche’s entry-level model the 912 was essentially a 911 with a more basic drivetrain. With its inherently better balance relative to its more advanced sibling, the 912 sold very well upon initially being made available before Porsche decided it would be discontinued so as to make way for the mid-engined 914. Other than a brief reappearance in 1976, the 912 only enjoyed a 5 year model run from 1965 to 1969 and, like many entry-level vehicles nearly 50 years later, they remain relatively rare, especially with low mileage. The car featured here, a 1968 Porsche 912 Coupe, located in Florida, is enshrouded in questions, but with only 12,000 miles and on offer for no reserve it could end up as quite an interesting buy.

1998 Porsche Boxster

Published June 21, 2014 by Rob

With the revival of the roadster in the early 1990’s Porsche decided it was finally time to introduce a new model, something the marque had not done since the ’70s. Rather than design another GT to replace the outgoing 928 and 968, Porsche went with a mid-engined entry-level roadster that would appeal to a wider demographic than the more hard-edged 911. With a 2.5 liter flat-6 and 5-speed manual directing their energies to the rear wheels the Boxster was generally very well received and sold like mad. While admittedly the early Boxster was a bit soft and a bit slow, flaws Porsche would correct a few years later with the Boxster S, it still served its basic purpose of broadening the Porsche audience. The car featured here comes from the first generation: an Arctic Silver 1998 Porsche Boxster, located in Florida, with 56,950 miles.
