1979 Porsche 930

Published January 11, 2015 by Rob

I’m going to end this week more or less where I began it with an early Porsche 930. This time, however, we have one of the early 3.3 liter models, rather than a 3.0 liter, draped in the ever menacing combination of triple black. Like the Grand Prix White 930 the week began with, this 1979 Porsche 930, located in Oregon, sits with very low mileage and is sure to garner plenty of attention wherever it might go. We have seen with the various 930s featured this week that asking prices continue to surge upwards for the earliest and latest model years. Of course, each of these asking prices probably has been too high for the current market to support, but there does appear to be a significant difference developing among the various years. For a collector, these are the cars to seek. For a driver, buyers would be better suited seeking a good example from ’86-’88 as they can typically be found for quite a bit less money.

1995 Porsche 911 Rauh-Welt Begriff #1

Published January 10, 2015 by Carter

The sudden impact and influence of Nakai-san’s hand-crafted Porsche creations is both impressive and perhaps unprecedented. In part, that’s thanks to the proliferation of new media sources; go back to the 1980s, and no matter how cool his cars were it would have been much more difficult for him to become a name that most enthusiasts seem to know these days. We also live in a world which both is losing hand-crafted expertise but also celebrates it as the incredible skill it is. The cars he creates are racing inspired – a whole culture that exists in Japan but is undoubtedly taken to a much higher level by RWB. Stretched and slammed, the RWB cars are each unique but share heritage that resembles the racing 911 Turbo and GT2 models. They’re beyond replicas of race cars, though, defining their own unique identity. Not everyone likes the look, but nearly all can appreciate the attention to detail and incredible craftsmanship that goes into these cars:

1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupe

Published January 10, 2015 by Rob

The 1974 Carrera is one of those 911s that I enjoy spending some time lingering over the details. As the first to sport the redesigned body it’s interesting to get a sense of how Porsche chose to transition from the beloved long-hood 911 to these with impact bumpers, especially when we consider that the basic shell of this design would be with us for another 15 years. There are a lot of interesting touches on these cars, from the Carrera side graphics with color-matched wheels to the use of the ducktail rear spoiler, that set them apart from other mid-year 911s. The 1974 models tend to show the most value of the 911s produced from 1974-1977 and the Carrera is the only model that’s shown the ability to compete in value with a long-hood 911. The example seen here is a restored Grand Prix White 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupe, located in Georgia. The listed mileage is 1,974 miles, which I presume is the miles traveled since it was restored.

1979 Porsche 911SC Targa

Published January 8, 2015 by Rob

While many of the 911s we feature here at GCFSB fall into the category of excellent condition, low mileage, and original examples, which typically come with a fairly high price tag, we also strive to find interesting driver-quality examples as they come across the market. Cars reflecting a high degree of care from their owners, but which also may possess a mechanical issue here and there or issues with their originality. And while the museum-quality collectors are always neat to see, it is the drivers that really grab our attention. These are cars with personal histories that have spent significant time doing precisely what they were intended: being driven. For that alone we love them. The car featured here appears to fall into just such a category: a Guards Red 1979 Porsche 911SC Targa, located in North Carolina, with 102,250 miles on it.

1981 Porsche 924 Carrera GTR

Published January 7, 2015 by Carter

The late 1970s and early 1980s were a trans-formative time for Porsche. After a long string of successes with the Porsche 911 and 917 on the race track, they were moving into new territory with a series of front engined cars. Not only were these cars appearing on the race track, though; Porsche intended the 928 and 924 to be the replacements for its aging 911/912 lineup. The result was a special time for water-cooled fans, as Porsche spent a considerable amount of time and resources in between the end of the 917 project and the beginning of the new 956 project on the front engined 924. In order to tie the model to performance and wins on the track, Porsche undertook an ambitious racing schedule, entering the 924 in everything from showroom production-based “D-Production” in SCCA to the World Rally Championship and Le Mans. The resulting lineup of impressive turbocharged 924s have become legendary, but ultimately they’re much more rare to come across than their 911/934/935 counterparts. Still, in the early 1980s they were cutting edge – 2,000 lbs, 400+ horsepower and massive flares hiding 935-spec BBS center-lock magnesium wheels. Sound awesome? You better believe it:
