1983 Porsche 944 with 52k miles

Published July 25, 2014 by Paul

Not a day goes by that I don’t consider selling my 2006 MINI Cooper S for a clean, lower mileage Porsche 944. It probably wouldn’t be the wisest financial decision I ever made, but every time I see one of these coupes from the 1980s with their wide fenders, funky wheels and pop-up headlamps I get the urge to pull the trigger. This 1983 944 for sale in Massachusetts is equipped with the base 2.5 liter engine, 5-speed manual and has just over 50,000 miles on the clock. Is there honestly a better way to relive your 1980s automotive fantasies for under $10,000?

1982 Mercedes-Benz 300TD

Published July 18, 2014 by Paul

Having just embarked on a summer road trip, my thoughts wandered while driving towards fuel economy. My MINI Cooper S certainly does well enough, but sometimes you want something a bit more suited for cruising. Which is where this Mercedes-Benz 300TD comes in. It’s not the fastest car out there, but once up to cruising speed, it’s a capable motor with the range and reliability of diesel power and a good amount of carrying capacity. This particular 300TD for sale in California has been converted to run on biodiesel and is a two owner car, having lived its live out in the western US.

1983 Porsche 930 Cabriolet

Published July 16, 2014 by Rob

The 930 has always possessed its own ’80s flare that few other cars can eclipse. Make that 930 a Cabriolet, cloak it in metallic paint and give it a nearly white interior and now we’re really talking ’80s. Lately we haven’t seen nearly as many 930 Cabriolets come up for sale relative to the Coupe so when we do come across one it always grabs our attention. The case is no different with this eye-catching Platinum Metallic 1983 Porsche 930 Cabriolet, located in Colorado, with Parchment leather interior and 87,898 miles. Like a few of the recent 930s we’ve featured here at GCFSB this one is a RoW 930 as the 930 was unavailable in the US market during this time.

Tuner Tuesday: 1983 Porsche 930

Published June 10, 2014 by Carter

The Porsche 930 is an absolute icon, and for some time in the 1980s it was the centerpiece of the tuning world; countless examples underwent questionable modifications and died an early death in the eyes of many. But some also underwent changes that made them icons in the automotive world. Notably, the Ruf modified cars are some of the favorites of enthusiasts for their understated aggression and brutal speed. But for most enthusiasts, while the idea of a Ruf-modified car is great, the reality of affording one is much more difficult. First, there just aren’t many true Ruf examples out there, and those that are well built original examples are quite expensive. There are plenty of pretenders to make up the difference, but if you don’t need all of the motivation of the Ruf cars you can get a substantial discount if you just accept some choice modifications to set your standard 930 enough apart to make you feel special without breaking the bank:

1983 Audi Quattro

Published May 24, 2014 by Carter

Well, he’s at it again; the same seller as the 1984 Audi 4000S quattro in Laguna Seca Blue and earlier 1990 Coupe Quattro in Ginster Yellow is now selling his 1983 Quattro. These cars have been pretty rapidly appreciating, pulled upwards by the popularity of the E30 M3 and resurgence of Audi’s campaign to recognize that it made cars before the A4. Undoubtedly, this Quattro is much more valuable than the last two offerings from this seller – but is it the one to buy? The last few examples that we’ve seen have had some rare but polarizing modifications that arguably hurt more than helped the value of the cars for sale – is this legend the same?
