1976 Porsche 911 Targa

Published November 11, 2014 by Rob

This particular car may appeal more to any European readers we have than those in the US, but perhaps there’s someone out there who’s interested in importing a European 911. Here we have a Guards Red 1976 Porsche 911 Targa located in Portugal. In 1976 we were still quite a few years away from Porsche releasing a 911 Cabriolet so these early targas were the best available option for open-top motoring. Given the amount of coastline in Portugal we can understand the desire of an owner seeking a fuller experience on any drive. This 911 also has the distinction of being one of the few 4-speed-manual equipped 911s I can recall coming across, even if that’s a distinction serving more as a peculiarity than as a desirable feature, along with, as the seller notes, a few “improvements” including a 3.2 Carrera front bumper and a nice set of 16″ Fuchs.

Tuner Tuesday Ruf-off: 1978 Porsche 930 Slantnose v. 1987 930

Published November 11, 2014 by Carter

Just as AMG is synonymous with early tuned Mercedes-Benz models, Ruf seems to be inseparable from the Porsche 930. It’s almost cliche to upgrade the 911 Turbo to Ruf specs; but they’re the go-to tuner for all things air-cooled. But for every Yellowbird that an enthusiast wishes they had created, there are many more pretenders that bolt on some Ruf parts and claim they’re Ruf-converted cars. Does that make them more valuable? Probably not, in general – faster, yes, but as we saw with last week’s 1979 930, although well executed more people are looking for either real Ruf cars or all-original examples. Today I have another two “Ruf” cars to face off – which wears the mods better and which is a better deal?

1982 Porsche 911SC

Published November 10, 2014 by Rob

For me the 911SC still sits squarely within the driver, rather than collector, market for 911s. That is not to suggest they cannot make for good investments, they surely can, but they still present some of the few examples that can be had at a reasonable value and they share enough similarities with the somewhat more desirable 3.2 Carrera to restrain their growth. But this is good news as it means hopeful buyers might still find a 911 in good mechanical condition from which they can get years of motoring enjoyment without too significant an expenditure. While a 911SC will never be a supercar by modern standards, with 180 hp (in US-spec) and less than 2700 pounds to move around there is still sufficient power to make any section of back roads a joy to drive, all the while possessing the analog feel of an ’80s performance car. Here we have a Silver over Black 1982 Porsche 911SC, located in New York, with 61,098 miles on it.

Motorsports Monday: 1977 Porsche 911S RS Tribute

Published November 10, 2014 by Carter

Like the M3 from earlier, the Carrera RS has been a model that is the dream of many Porsche enthusiasts and the subject of many replicas. Some are merely cosmetic, others go for wild and exacting recreations. But the value of 911s has progressed to the point where something interesting is happening; track cars now make a viable option to convert back to street cars. It wouldn’t surprise me if we see the same thing occur with the E30 M3 market where tracked out original M3s get converted back to street cars. But this later 911S has been given the RS treatment by notable builder Musante Motorsports. I had the pleasure to work with Chris Musante before his business was fully off the ground; his attention to detail and knowledge of building Porsche air-cooled motors is certainly top of the field, and an early 911 that Chris just rebuilt recently won the Lime Rock Vintage Festival show. It’s no surprise then that this 1977 model that Musante Motorsports built looks awesome:

Motorsports Monday: 2007 Porsche 911GT3 RS

Published November 10, 2014 by Paul

One of my favorite aspects about the Porsche brand is they have never been timid with color. Even to this day, you are able to tailor your Porsche specifically to your preferences via the Porsche Exclusive program, giving you the option of having one special Porsche. This orange 911GT3 RS is not the result of a Porsche Exclusive order, but is fetching nonetheless. This example for sale has over $60,000 in upgrades and while it appears to be a dedicated race machine, it is still street legal. It comes with a lot of extras, including a custom trailer, representing quite a deal for the next owner, especially if you consider what the entry cost is to a new 911 these days.
