1960 Porsche 356B 1600 Super Roadster

1960 Porsche 356B 1600 Super Roadster

Published September 16, 2015 by Rob

Beauty is impossible to quantify and always difficult to rationalize. This car I find particularly beautiful. I have long enjoyed the Porsche 356 Roadster and we come across them from time to time, but there is something about this one that really grabs me. Much of this is down to the contrast of the Bali Blue exterior over the Red leather interior, a combination that I cannot recall coming across (nor was it original to this 356) but which works extremely well. The 356 Roadster was the successor to the highly sought after 356 Speedster, or to be more accurate it was the successor to the Convertible D, which was the successor to the 356 Speedster. It retains in spirit its Speedster roots, but adds a few creature comforts to help suit its purpose as a vehicle capable of everyday use though still somewhat spartan throughout. As a vintage open-top cruiser there are few cars whose style I enjoy more than the 356 Roadster and this one is an incredibly striking example of the model. Here we have a Bali Blue 1960 Porsche 356B 1600 Super Roadster with Red leather interior, located in Houston.

1990 Porsche 944S2 Cabriolet

1990 Porsche 944S2 Cabriolet

Published September 15, 2015 by Paul

For as long as the 944 was in Porsche’s lineup, it’s surprising it took so long for an al fresco version to come about. It wouldn’t be until the end of the 1980s and the 944 was in its twilight years that the 944S2 Cabriolet would appear. A mere 2,402 examples would find their way stateside for those seeking an alternative to the usual air-cooled convertible solution from Porsche. This 944S2 Cabriolet for sale in Florida is approaching 50,000 miles and looks sharp in Dove Blue Metallic.

2006 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

2006 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

Published September 15, 2015 by Rob

This one kind of snuck up on me. Not necessarily the car itself, but the price. I write about a lot of Porsche 911s, but rarely about the 997 and when I do feature a 997 it is almost always one of the cars with GT in the moniker. Now, $40k doesn’t really make for an inexpensive second-hand car, but in relative terms there is a lot to like here. With values of air-cooled 911s steadying, but still remaining high and in an upward trajectory, those who desire a 911 with which they can spend some quality driving time must either accept quite a few faults or they must risk degrading the long term value of their investment. With the water-cooler 911s we don’t face such a conundrum. They are still fairly new and neither the 996 nor the 997 has yet to receive significant love from buyers. There also is surely more depreciation to come. But with a 6-speed manual, more than 300 hp, and a lot more refinement than most any air-cooled 911 as a driver these have lots going for them. Added to that, the 997 mended many of the design elements that were so despised on the 996, leaving us with a 911 that possesses classic 911 aesthetics combined with modern performance. While the example here is a fairly straightforward 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe it does have a couple of nice options to help it stand apart.

1989 Porsche 930 Coupe

1989 Porsche 930 Coupe

Published September 14, 2015 by Rob

Through the Porsche 930’s nearly fifteen years of production it saw a number of incremental changes but few with enough significance that we separate out those years from the rest. However, there were two such events. First there was the move from the original 3.0 liter turbocharged flat-six to the 3.3 liter flat-six that would power the 911 Turbo even through much of the 964’s life, a span of around fifteen years itself. That increase in displacement also brought with it the introduction of an air-to-air intercooler and revised rear spoiler. The second major change was the utilization of a 5-speed manual transmission made available only in 1989, the final model year of 930 production. While 911 Turbo values in general have continued to climb, it is the cars that exist on either side of these boundaries that command the most attention and, thus, the most money. Here our focus is on that final model year equipped with the 5-speed manual. For many this is the 930 to have not just because of the more stout transmission and extra gearing, but it is the most refined of the breed benefiting from numerous years of upgrades to enhance its drivability. Also, it is the last Turbo surrounded by the classic 911 design as the 964 would debut later that same year with all-new styling. The example here is a Forest Green Metallic 1989 Porsche 930 Coupe, located in Montreal, with 38,094 miles on it.

Motorsports Monday: 1993 Porsche 968

Published September 14, 2015 by Carter

On paper, the 968 should make a great race car. Out of the box, the transaxle configuration meant that as with all of the 924/944 lineup which preceded it, the 968 had nearly perfect weight distribution and balance. The boxy flares of the 944 had been smoothed slightly but were still quite capable of containing very large amounts of sticky rubber. The 968 was available with a 6-speed manual transmission; one more cog to exploit that power train than had previously been available. And while nearly all examples lacked the magical turbo script, the upgraded 944 S2 motor with VarioCam meant that the torque-laden and largest post-war 4-cylinder produced in normal production runs churned an impressive 17 horsepower more than the boosted variant had in 1986, with 237 horsepower on tap. But for whatever reason, track worthy 968s are much more rare to see than 944s; perhaps it’s the residual value they still enjoy in some regards, or perhaps its the flexibility of tuning the Turbos for more boost. Whatever the reason, it’s neat to see one pop up, such as this PCA/NASA example today:
