1965 Porsche 911

1965 Porsche 911

Published April 4, 2016 by Rob

A couple weeks back I featured a 912 that I said was the best looking example I’ve come across, a fantastic Slate Grey over Red example from 1966. It provided an opportunity to get into a beautiful entry-level Porsche for fairly reasonable cost. Here we have an almost equally striking Porsche, but this time rather than the entry-level 912, we have a very early 911 with a much higher price tag. This example takes us right back to the 911’s beginnings to give us a glimpse into this iconic model’s origins. The color combination isn’t identical to that of the 912 mentioned earlier. The interior, while listed as Red, appears more of a mix of red and orange. It’s actually a very peculiar color in its own right, but it does lack the vibrancy of the 912’s bright red. It’s a really nice combination and still possesses that really nice Slate Grey exterior. With an asking price above $300K it’s priced at the top of the market. So it’s not quite the bargain of a 912, but would serve as an excellent piece in a 911 collection.

Motorsports Monday – Worth Finishing: 1982 Porsche 924 Carrera GTS/R Replica

Motorsports Monday – Worth Finishing: 1982 Porsche 924 Carrera GTS/R Replica

Published April 4, 2016 by Carter

As a habit, we try not to write up project cars. There are other sites that do that and a project car takes a specific subset of fanatics to be really interested. Most will turn their heads, unwilling to front the cash to complete the build. Some might be interested but have neither the skills, the resources, the time or the space to undertake the project. And, to be honest, most project cars are complete headaches – basket cases that were hastily thrown together or require enough reverse engineering that you’re better off starting from scratch. But once in a while one comes along that is both so cool and unique that it justifies a second look and disregarding the angels of our better nature who chant not-so-softly into our ears “DON’T DO IT!“:

Motorsports Monday: 1992 Porsche 968

Motorsports Monday: 1992 Porsche 968

Published April 4, 2016 by Carter

One of my first days instructing at a high performance driving school, my student walked up to me after the morning meeting and told me he was under the weather and not up for driving. But, he said, he didn’t want to miss out on track time, so would I be willing to drive him around Lime Rock Park in his car? Sure, I said, and we strolled over towards his ride – a track prepared Porsche 968 on Michelin Sport Cup tires. I have to admit I was slightly apprehensive; a car I was unfamiliar with wasn’t the end of the world, but that day track was wet and while I had been the wheel man a few times in my father’s 924S on track, most of my seat time was spent in my front-drive Audi Coupe GT. But out on the track we went, and the 968 quickly proved why it gained a reputation as such a superlative driver’s car. Near perfect balance matched with smooth power delivery. The limited slip differential in that particular 968 also helped to translate the power to the ground, and on a soaked track we were one of the fastest cars that session within two laps – it just felt natural to push the car. Down the “No Name Straight” (which both has a name and isn’t a straight), the 968 twitched lightly under full throttle but was never out of control and never once felt uncomfortable. Even before then I had a high regard for the watercooled front-engine Porsches, but it solidified my love even more and it’s always nice when I see a track prepared 968:

1987 Porsche 930 Targa

1987 Porsche 930 Targa

Published April 3, 2016 by Rob

I’ve shown quite a few Targas recently from all around the 911 range. One that I haven’t shown in a long while is the 930 Targa. The 930 Targa is pretty rare and outnumbered by the 930 Coupe to a fair degree. It’s also a somewhat strange looking example, but that’s a fault I find with any Targa equipped with a whale tail, whether it be a 930 or a standard 911. But for open-topped motoring along with a heavy does of rear-drive power the 930 Targa makes for a captivating experience and the one we see here combines interesting options with very low mileage to yield one of the better examples I can recall. Here we have a Guards Red 1987 Porsche 930 Targa, located in Indiana, with a rare Black leather/Anthracite Flannel interior and just 8,829 miles on the odometer. Prior to being sold this car served as a Porsche company car where it logged an additional 6,100 miles. All told, the mileage is still very low.

1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S – REVISIT

1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S – REVISIT

Published April 2, 2016 by Rob

The very rare Cobalt Blue Metallic 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S we featured back in October remains up for sale. The original auction was bid to $295,100, a figure a good bit below where we’d expect it to sell and far below the seller’s current asking price of $795,000. Given the rare color and other features of this Turbo S a high price is to be expected, but I feel like the more likely result will lie somewhere between those two numbers. That puts us pretty far away from a sale here, but for one of the more interesting examples we’ve come across we can expect that it will garner quite a bit of attention nonetheless.
