1957 Porsche 356A Speedster

Published February 13, 2015 by Rob

While an excellent Porsche, of any era, tends to marry a combination of blistering performance with a high degree of refinement, it is many of the no-frills examples that command the greatest attention. One of the earliest of those was the 356 Speedster. As Porsche’s first production vehicle the 356 was around for nearly twenty years before being replaced by the 911 and the Speedster remains one of the most iconic variants produced. Only available for a short 4 years the Speedster served the American market as a lower-cost spartan alternative to the standard 356, while also providing weekend racers a model they could use at the track. Belying its short production run, the Speedster was quite successful in its early years and Porsche has revived the iconic moniker a few times for the 911, but it’s always tough to top the original. The example we see here is a Black on Black 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster, located in Houston, with 95,898 miles on it.

Coupe Week: 1979 Porsche 911SC Coupe

Published February 12, 2015 by Rob

Rare-color 911s at times seem to exist in their own world, a reality that has become especially prevalent as the air-cooled-911 market has grown substantially. The questions with which one must always grapple are “how much do I really care about color and how much am I willing to pay for it?” And of course there is also the matter of the long-term gamble betting on far elevated values down the road. This all brings us to the car we see here: a Light Green (Lindgrün) Metallic 1979 Porsche 911SC Coupe, located in the Netherlands, with contrasting Beige leather interior and 125,975 km on the clock (78,277 miles). This is a really lovely color combination only available for a couple of years at the end of the ’70s so it certainly qualifies as rare, but with an asking price around $70K the seller definitely is looking to capitalize on that rarity.

1970 Porsche 911S

Published February 10, 2015 by Rob

I am not old enough to know what sort of excitement the 911S brought on when it was first released. With horsepower ranging from 160 to 190 and only around 2300 lbs to move the 911S remains a good performer even by modern standards, but nearly 50 years ago I can imagine that this sort of performance, especially in a relatively small package, would have come as quite the revelation to the motoring world. For those seeking the ultimate performance Porsche the 911S followed the tried and true method of combining more power with fewer luxuries. Following its redesign in 1974 it would be quite a while before the S returned as a top of the line performer, which has made these early models some of the most highly desirable throughout the 911 range with excellent examples approaching $200K. The car we see here is a restored Silver Metallic 1970 Porsche 911S with a reported 74,915 miles on it.

Coupe Week: 1989 Porsche 944

Published February 10, 2015 by Paul

The 944 is one of those sports cars that is prime for engine swaps, as Carter exhibited yesterday with the 944 he found with an LS3 slotted under the hood. With one of the best balanced chassis to come out of the eighties, the 944 has become a darling of the track day set and of spirited motorists alike. With exception of the Turbo models, most of the range has stayed relatively affordable, even if it is a low mileage minter that you might stumble upon. This 1989 944 for sale in Pennsylvania has covered just over 50,000 miles. There’s not much of a description from the seller, but it appears there are some records accompanying it and it looks like a minter from the pictures.

Coupe Week: 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera

Published February 9, 2015 by Rob

As we begin our coupe week here at GCFSB we’ll start on the Porsche side with one of the examples that still falls into a spot on the market that is accessible to a wide range of buyers. The 3.2 Carrera isn’t the exceptional value it once was, but typically an earlier model, i.e. pre-G50 transmission, like this Indischrot 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera, located in Arizona, will still provide good bang for your buck and can serve as an excellent introduction to the 911 in general. With more than 163K miles this 911 certainly appears to have lead a full life, but if the mechanicals have been shown proper care during that time then it should still be capable of providing many more miles of excellent motoring.
