Feature Listing: 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe

Feature Listing: 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe

Published May 17, 2015 by Rob

While it took a backseat to the Carrera 4 during the initial release of the all-new 964, the more traditional layout of the Carrera 2 remains a favorite of many in the 911 world. On the current market it also falls into a very nice place for those hoping to find some value in the 911 market. With its modern underpinnings relative to the 3.2 Carrera that preceded it, the 964 provides the improved refinement and performance desired by many enthusiasts packaged in a design that still bears a strong resemblance to the classic 911 upon whose shoulders it stood. Better still, prices remain quite reasonable, especially when factoring in those technological advancements. Collectors have not yet begun to take a strong liking to these basic Carreras and as such it is a great time to jump into one as they can make an excellent choice for those looking for their first 911 without having to get caught up in the air-cooled collector craze. Here we have one of the early examples: an Indischrot 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe, located in New York, with Black leather interior and 86,756 miles on it.

1993 Porsche 928GTS

1993 Porsche 928GTS

Here is a beautiful 1993 928 GTS. As you know, mint GTS’s fetch a pretty penny on the rare occasion that they come up for sale. In fact, I’d say that this is certainly the most pristine example to come up for sale publicly this year in the United States (that Midnight Blue ’95 5-speed in Germany that we featured about a month ago would be the nicest worldwide).

This particular example comes with a somewhat monochrome color combination of Polar Silver Metallic over Classic Grey leather. Breaking up the monotony is the eye catching red piping and rootwood shift lever, which were extremely rare options on GTS’s. Additional rare options featured on this GTS include Porsche crests in the headrests and a leather shift boot. It’s hard to tell if the luggage cover is also leather.

A quick search on the 928 Registry indicates that this car was last for sale at Gaudin Porsche in Las Vegas in 2002 when it had around 16K miles. According to the Carfax, it has lived in Florida, Nevada, and has been in Pennsylvania since the 2002 sale. I spoke to a very nice salesman at Marshall Goldman who informed me that the asking price is $89,900. Although that price does set (I believe) a new ceiling for automatic 1993 GTS’s, I’d say that this car is certainly worthy of it.

1994 Porsche 968 Sport

1994 Porsche 968 Sport

Published May 16, 2015 by Paul

It’s not uncommon for automotive manufacturers to tailor a particular model to the likes and needs of a certain market. Porsche is well known for this; one example being the 911 RS America of the early 1990s. Deemed a bit too hard edged for US consumers, Porsche decided to soften the Carrera RS formula a bit and make a special run of 701 cars, which were initially cheaper than a 911 C2. Given their rarity, these RS Americas are now worth much more than their standard Carrera counterparts. Around the same time, Porsche was focusing on another lightweight special, the 968 Club Sport. Unfortunately, the 968CS never made it stateside, but Porsche produced a special run of similar models for the UK market, dubbed the “Sport.” These were essentially 968CS models with the CS luxury package, which offered a bit more features and convenience than the track focused CS. This 1994 968 Sport for sale in southwest England has very low mileage for its age.

1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS

1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS

Published May 16, 2015 by Rob

At one point or another during my time writing for GCFSB I have had the opportunity to feature nearly every variant of the 964 and as I’ve noted in previous posts there is a ton of variability within the 964 model range. The exception, the car I have yet to feature, is the 964 Carrera RS, quite possibly the best of the breed, especially were we to stumble across the ultra-rare 3.8 RS, which sadly this one is not. Nevertheless, the 3.6 version is truly a fantastic machine. The US market had to settle for the RS America, a lightened low-option version of the Carrera 2, that never fully approached, nor did Porsche intend it to approach, the full-on Carrera RS of other markets. The Carrera RS used the tried-and-true method of more power/less weight, combining a higher output version of the 964’s 3.6 liter flax-six with significant weight reduction – coming in 155 kg lighter than a standard Carrera 2 – to provide the sort of no frills performance that 911 enthusiasts had long craved since the original RS. To wear that moniker, the coveted Carrera RS badge, requires a special car and the version for the 964 filled those shoes quite well. It showed how far this newly redesigned 911 could be pushed and continued Porsche’s history of melding excellent road-going manners with track-focused performance. The particular example we see here is a Maritime Blue 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS with a contrasting black and blue leather interior and just 20,005 miles on it.

1971 Porsche 911T Coupe

1971 Porsche 911T Coupe

Published May 15, 2015 by Rob

We’ve shown a few examples of the 911T over the past weeks and we always enjoy featuring these early entry-level 911s for their (at least on a relative scale) less costly asking prices that still retain that vintage 911 style and feel. They do tend to get caught in the general craze surrounding long-hood 911s with asking prices that are too high for their condition, but we can forgive sellers for attempting to extract the most from their cars. No one is going to give these away. In that regard the 911T can be a tough sell; even a good one is destined to command far less than a 911S so collectors remain less enamored with them, but values are high enough that as a driver it really takes a buyer with a strong nostalgic desire for an early 911 for the purchase to make much sense. The example we see here falls into that driver category and given the asking price will probably be another tough sell, but it’s incredibly striking and appears to have been shown a high degree of care. Here we have a Yellow 1971 Porsche 911T, located in Massachusetts, that’s traveled 171,785 miles over the course of its life. From the pictures it hardly looks it!
