1976 Porsche 930

Published February 6, 2014 by Rob

In 1975, Porsche released its first production turbo-charged 911 and the world was changed forever. Well, perhaps it wasn’t that dramatic. The 930, as it was also known, remained in production worldwide until 1989, though US production ceased from 1980 to 1986 due to emissions regulations. Aesthetically it remained largely unchanged throughout its model run. The greatest change came in 1978 when displacement was increased from 3.0 liters to 3.3 liters, and then in its final model year the car was switched to the 5-speed G50 transmission (all previous years utilized a 4-speed manual transmission). For many Porschephiles, the 930 remains a hallowed car; the first car that really began to set our hearts afire through its aggressive styling and brutal wars with the laws of physics. Quite simply it is fantastic! The example featured here has undergone two major transformations from its original nature as a 1976 Porsche 930: first, the original 3.0 liter turbocharged flat-6 has been replaced with the 3.3 liter motor of the post-1978 930. Second, at some point this was converted to a Slantnose, a factory option that was unavailable during this car’s original production year.

1980 Porsche 928

Published February 6, 2014 by Paul

Every time I set eyes on a Porsche 928, I still am amazed by the fact that this car was introduced in 1977. This was one of those landmark cars, much like the Citroën DS over 20 years earlier, that moved the chains in terms of car design. Integrated bumpers and a streamlined greenhouse took the world by storm in an era where disco music had yet to die. While I prefer the later GT and GTS models, the early 928s have merit in their own right. This 1980 example for sale in Miami has covered under 50,000 miles and is equipped with the automatic gearbox.

1993 Porsche 911 RS America

Published February 4, 2014 by Rob

Porsche has always striven to maintain its racing pedigree by providing factory cars for enthusiasts who desire to live the life of a weekend racer. In some cases those cars were produced so as to meet homologation standards, but in others, like with the 964 RS America, the cars were produced at the behest of a customer base that demanded something more than the standard car. While mechanically quite similar to a base 964 Carrera, its stripped interior and host of deleted items allowed the RS America to come in at under 3000 lbs and provide Porsche’s customers with a base for taking their car to the track. The car featured here, a White 1993 Porsche 911 RS America located in Florida, was originally a fully-optioned car, but has subsequently had the A/C and radio deleted. This car also features an interior fully outfitted for racing and front and rear spoilers from the RSR and Carrera RS respectively.

1987 Porsche 924S

Published February 4, 2014 by Carter

We’ve talked countless times about how many of the cars from the 1980s have recently undergone a pricing metamorphosis, taking what were once the entry-level mainstays of German automobile enthusiasts out of the reach of most mortals. This doesn’t really take the full picture into account, though – the reality is that there are still many cars that are very good, readily available and affordable. One of the best has to be the Porsche 924S. Overlooked by Porsche enthusiasts as too cheap to be a “true” Porsche, the crowd that enjoys the relative secrecy of the 1987 and 1988 Porsche 924S has enjoyed a true gem for the past few decades. Power, suspension and brakes are effectively the same as the fat-fendered 944, so if you can deal with the narrow body and wheels and older dashboard, you actually get a slightly quicker car in the 924S. Many were maintained well by their loving owners who were obviously proud of their foray into Porsche ownership leaving the next owner to enjoy the fruits of their labor. This 1987 Guards Red example sure looks the part:

2001 Porsche Boxster with 38k miles

Published February 3, 2014 by Paul

There was much fanfare when the Porsche Boxster debuted, as this was the first clean sheet design since the introduction of the 928 twenty years prior. The 928 and 968 had just ceased production and in came this small roadster right before the air-cooled 911 bid adieu one year later upon the close of the 1998 model year. While some have derided the Boxster for being a bit soft in comparison to the 911, time has been fairly kind on these sports cars. Many of the earlier Boxsters are now fairly affordable, making them an attractive proposition in comparison to the usual sport coupe or hot hatch offerings out there. This 2001 Boxster for sale in Ohio comes from our reader John. It’s has the desirable 5-speed manual gearbox and was used by a fair weather toy by a local doctor.
