1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

Published November 5, 2016 by Rob

I am going to continue my current theme of rooting around for driver quality classic 911s so as to establish a firmer grasp on where we can expect these models to sell on the current market. I’ve seen a lot of the earlier examples of the 911SC and where they are being priced and here I want to move to the other end of the spectrum to look at a late 3.2 Carrera. The price is higher, as we’d expect, but remains somewhat reasonable given other facets of this 911. Here we have a Marine Blue Metallic 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa, located in California, with Grey interior and 119,250 miles on it.

1963 Porsche 356B Carrera 2 Coupe

1963 Porsche 356B Carrera 2 Coupe

Published November 4, 2016 by Rob

When we feature the Porsche 356 the point isn’t typically about performance. And, in a certain way, it isn’t about performance here either. But like the Speedster and its lightweight no frills philosophy the 356 Carrera 2 brought with it a more performance-oriented mindset and in its day was very much so about performance. The Carrera 2 featured a larger 2.0 liter flat-4 four cam engine producing 130 hp, which gave it a significant boost in power over its 1.6 liter siblings. Add to that disc brakes at all 4 wheels and you had better stopping power to rein in those extra horses. These were a technologically sophisticated model that provided Porsche’s customers with some of the best performance available all the while sporting the same elegant curves of every other 356. The one we see here comes in the particularly wonderful color combination of Oslo Blue over Tan.

Mint Green 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa – REVISIT

Mint Green 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa – REVISIT

Published November 3, 2016 by Rob

s-l1600-1

It’s been a while since we’ve seen this Mint Green 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa and since we have featured it before it is technically a revisit. But it’s moved on from its previous seller and been given a cosmetic refresh. I’m not sure if it’s the refresh that’s doing all of the work here or if it’s simply better photography, but the Mint Green exterior certainly looks much better than when Paul originally featured it. It’s one of his favorite Porsche colors and since we’ve been going through most of the rare greens Porsche offered it seemed worthwhile to check back in. According to the previous auction it sold for $62,100 so the asking price here represents a substantial increase. When it sold the air-cooled market was doing pretty well, but it has since backed off. Even if the 964 hasn’t suffered in that regard quite as much as the 911SC and 3.2 Carrera I think this will be a tough sell. There’s said to be only two of them so it’s definitely rare, and they’ve taken care of most of the maintenance items that would have concerned buyers the first time around. We’ll have to see where bidding takes it, but I don’t think that will be to $93K.

1975 Porsche 911 RSR Tribute

1975 Porsche 911 RSR Tribute

Published November 2, 2016 by Rob

I wasn’t alive in the early ’70s so I don’t have the context for this, but I can imagine that during those years encountering a car like the 911 RSR on the street (bear with me on that) would be somewhat mind blowing. It has the muscular appearance we might associate with a muscle car itself – perhaps like an early Camaro – but in a much more compact design further drawing our attention to those muscular lines. It appears distilled to its essence. As a race car this all makes sense. Which is perhaps why seeing one built for the street – even if it is a fabrication rather than the real deal – always attracts my attention to such a high degree. Put simply: done right they look wonderful. They’re hard edged in their appearance, but also not. Showcasing beautiful curves and taut lines. For a build like this it is the details that matter and that ultimately will decide whether its asking price is worthwhile, but strictly on appearance the look is fantastic. This build began life as a 1975 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe. It sounds like it was in an accident in the ’80s and converted to a Slantnose so I’m assuming mostly front end damage. Some time later the current builder got a hold of it to develop what we see here. The engine is a built and turbocharged 3.4 liter flat-six mated to a 4-speed manual from the 930. From there, well, you’ll just have to read through the ad because there’s been a good bit of work. And it all comes together quite well.

1978 Porsche 911SC Targa

1978 Porsche 911SC Targa

Published November 1, 2016 by Rob

In my journey through the world of green 911s I haven’t forgotten about those less rare cars and of course, one of my favorites, the 911SC. I’ve seen a lot of SCs lately, especially Targas, actually selling. Much of that is because they’re now coming up with much more reasonable prices, yet still presenting in good condition. Granted, they are definitely of the ‘driver’ quality but that’s ok and there will always be a place for such cars. Nearly everyone who writes here and reads these pages came to their love of automobiles from the exhilaration that comes from driving them. It isn’t always easy to find air-cooled 911s for prices that don’t make you cringe every time you leave the garage, but they do exist. Now that I’ve said all of those hopeful things I’m going to feature this 911SC, which is priced a little higher (sorry!), but given how good it looks still represents a little bit of a step back in the market. We’ll have to see where bidding takes it and I suspect its ultimate selling price will be below this ask. Anyway let’s get to the car: here we have a Copper Bronze Metallic 1978 Porsche 911SC Targa, located in North Carolina, with Cork interior and 36,280 miles on it.
