2002 Porsche 911 Turbo X50

2002 Porsche 911 Turbo X50

Published July 5, 2015 by Rob

Supercar performance without the supercar price. That long has been the hallmark of the 911 Turbo and is especially the case for the 996TT where values have remained suppressed for some time now. The question is whether they will always remain so. It’s certainly the case that these water-cooled 911s will struggle to garner the same demand as their air-cooled predecessors, but as prices continue to significantly rise for the 993TT the bargain that is the 996TT becomes ever more apparent. It’s impossible for that fact to escape the notice of buyers for too long. What I think will remain the case for the foreseeable future is the value of any 996TT with a reasonable degree of mileage, which is exactly the place where we find the car we see here: a Seal Grey 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in New Jersey, with the optional X50 power package and 58,750 miles on it.

1988 Porsche 944 Turbo

1988 Porsche 944 Turbo

Published July 5, 2015 by Carter

It may sound strange, but this is – I believe – the first non-S, non-Cup 1988 944 Turbo we’ve written up on this blog. While that may not sound outrageous, the 944 Turbo is a staple of these pages and considering the thousands of cars we’ve written up – virtually with every production year covered – it’s a bit strange to me. But as with 1987, 1988 was a year of change for the 944 Turbo; while the standard model carried over the ABS and airbag changes from the previous model, there were no major changes (the DME chip was changed from 24 to 28 pin; that’s about it). However, the big change was the half year introduction of the “S” model; standard M030 suspension and upgraded power were the highlights. While the power increase wasn’t huge at only 30, the limited run status, additional power, cool Silver Rose colors and upgraded suspension mean that it’s the model that we often concentrate on. Of course, that means we overlook the standard Turbo, and that’s a shame – because like the ’86 and ’87 cars, they were still great performance values and offered significant forced induction street credentials. It was, after all, a Porsche Turbo you were cruising in; select Guards Red from the color pallet and you’d have completed the Yuppie dream coupe recipe:

1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupe

1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupe

First we looked at the Targa and now we will have a look at the Coupe. This Carrera epitomizes almost everything I enjoy about the style of ’70s cars. The color (Bitter Chocolate with Gold accents), the Cinnamon interior, the ducktail spoiler, and just the general feeling conveyed by this car fits so well. I even like the slightly chunkier looking tires. This 911 is period correct in all the right ways. Like the Carrera 2.7 Targa featured before it, this Carrera 2.7 Coupe, located in Alabama with 89,476 miles on it, won’t come cheaply, but it definitely presents as a rare and unique color combination that when maintained well should garner plenty of attention wherever it goes and show nice value as well.

I recently have been sifting through older Carreras finding those that looked like a nice air-cooled value mixed in with a few that were in excellent shape and commanded quite a bit more money. I’ll now step back in time a little further to a couple of the earlier 911s to wear that hallowed name. Other than the most modern examples, I have featured almost every Targa model that I can think of during my time here at GCFSB with the exception of the one we see here: a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Targa located in Missouri with 81,571 miles on it. The Carrera 2.7 definitely is not the model to seek out by value hunters as they command values significantly higher than other mid-year 911s. Stylistically they deliver unique features referential of the previous year’s Carrera RS and epitomize what has become a popular look by those seeking to back-date modern Carreras. Added to all of that, a Carrera 2.7 Targa is incredibly rare to come across.

I’ll admit the market for a 964 3.3 Turbo perplexes me. At times they seem somewhat undervalued relative to the 930 that they replaced considering they feature nearly the same running gear, though with a redesigned body, and overall there are fewer of them given the much shorter model run. Much of this comparison only applies to the ’89 930 and the difference in value between an ’89 930 and a 964 3.3 Turbo comes down to the collector status of the ’89 as it’s the only year the 930 came equipped with a 5-speed manual. Yet, these 964 Turbos can be had for far less money than a comparable 993, which lately appear to have been catapulted into the stratosphere. I have long wondered how the relative markets of the 993 and 964 would play out. The 993 is the last of the air-cooled Turbos, yes, but the 964 is considered by many to be the last of the brawny, diabolical, Turbos since it remained purely in single-turbocharged rear-drive form while the 993 smoothed so many of the Turbo’s rough edges with its more sophisticated twin-turbocharging and all-wheel drive. Maybe it is only the 964 3.6 Turbo and Turbo S that will see enhanced values from these features, but overall it seems, at least for now, that the 964 3.3 Turbos might be flying a little under the radar.
