2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S

Published July 10, 2014 by Rob

It’s been a little while since I featured a 996TT so now seems as good a time as ever to see how the market stands for these performance bargains. The example featured here is an Arctic Silver 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S, located in California, with 16,483 miles on it. 2005 was both the last year of the 996 and also the first year of the 997. Because the 997 Turbo would not be released immediately Porsche continued production of the 996 Turbo and for its final year of 996 production introduced the Turbo S. From a power standpoint the Turbo S essentially was the previously offered 996 Turbo plus the X50 power package. Add ceramic brakes and interior upgrades and you have the Turbo S. While Silver will never be my favorite color it has become pretty desirable among Porsche fans over the last decade and at the very least should allow you to cruise without attracting too much attention.

1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet with 32k miles

Published July 9, 2014 by Paul

Being spread out over the United States, it’s hard for all of us here at GCFSB to catch up, but I was lucky enough to visit Rhode Island over the long weekend and catch up with Carter who lives in Providence. Living in the Washington, DC area, politics is the topic of the day and one which I loathe. So it’s always great to get away from this fishbowl and meet up with likeminded friends who share my passion for German cars. Carter had mentioned to me that a friend of his has an M3 Convertible, and I had my usual confused reaction when it comes to drop top M cars.

Now I have come across this 1990 964 series Carrera 4 Cabriolet. Kind of an odd combination, no? When I think of 911 Cabriolets, I think of motoring on sunny days rather than inclement weather that goes hand in hand with all-wheel drive. While this C4 Cabriolet may reside in New Hampshire, it spent a good many years in California and Florida. Just under 5,000 of the C4 Cabriolets were built, in comparison to just over 11,000 of the C2 Cabriolet, so for the classic 911 buyer looking for a bit more exclusivity, a low mileage, 5-speed example like this car would be a good choice.

1968 Porsche 911 Sunroof Coupe

Published July 9, 2014 by Rob

Sometimes auctions on early Porsches seem to have almost as many questions as answers. The car we see here is a Steel Blue 1968 Porsche 911 Sunroof Coupe, located in Vermont, with just under 70K miles. For the 1968 model year Porsche produced 3 variants of the 911: the T, L, and S. It was also the last year of the short-wheel-base 911 as Porsche increased the wheelbase for the 1969 model year in an attempt to control some of the 911’s tail-happy and skittish nature. So which variant is this particular car? That hasn’t been made clear by the seller, but according to the VIN (and the VIN decoders I’ve come across on the internet) this should be a 911S. If any of our readers can provide some clarity here, please don’t hesitate to comment. The values of these early variants tend to vary significantly by model so a precise determination will be key in this case. Otherwise, what we have is a SWB 911 that has been in the hands of its current owner since 1990, who has faithfully attempted to restore the car over time, though there is a degree to which this restoration has been done a bit piecemeal.

1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa

Published July 8, 2014 by Rob

This is a car I may have never seen on the road. At least in recent years since it’s entirely possible I saw one while they were in production. Here we have a Grand Prix White 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa located in Pennsylvania. The Targa in general is a less common sight these days, a point we may see change with Porsche reintroducing the proper Targa design for the 991, but the 964 Targa seems even less common than the rest. Part of that is simple numbers. The 964 was only around for 5 years and there were much fewer Targas produced than their Coupe and Cabriolet counterparts. Anyway, these are the sorts of things that tend to draw my attention with any auction as I’ve always had a fascination with the Targa even if I’m not sure whether I’d want to own one. This particular car is very low mileage, though please check the ad for details as it is somewhat unconfirmed.
