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.

1990 BMW 520i Firecar

One of the people that really helped me see the legitimacy in having cars as a hobby is my uncle, who has had an eclectic collection of Chevys as long as I can remember. In my early days, many were Raiders-themed, from the black and white Nomad to a metallic black Chevy Van with fully-embroidered Raiders interior. The one that has lasted longest and remains one of the coolest, however, is an homage to old fire chief’s cars (he was an LA fireman his entire working life), made from a ’56 4-door Bel Air with goldleaf type, working sirens, and a V8 so loud I got my first experience of one car setting others’ alarms off. My M5 takes care of that last endeavor these days, but “Chiefy” does leave a soft spot in my heart for today’s E34 Firecar. The 2.0 liter may not be setting off any car alarms, but the utilitarianism of the various vehicles used as emergency assistance cars in Europe has always been cool to me. With less than 90k miles, three pedals, and an interesting cloth/leather interior combo, it would be a fun car. Probably not worth importing unless you’re a fireman who happens to be obsessed with BMWs – if you’re that guy, you’re my hero.

1990 Volkswagen Corrado G60

Published July 5, 2014 by Carter

The strange thing about “unicorns” in the Volkswagen world is that they’re not always the most rare, the fastest, the rarest, or the prettiest model. Unicorns are the models that everyone wishes for though, the cars that are so hard to find that people are willing to pay a serious premium when they pop up. What constitutes “hard to find” in the Volkswagen world is an unmolested example and that seems to be especially true in the higher performance models; the GLi, the GTi and above all the Corrado:

1990 Porsche 944S2 Cabriolet

My best friend recently went out and got a new car a few weekends ago, a 2014 MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works Convertible, replacing the 2011 Cooper S hatchback he previously drove. After taking it for a spin, I was impressed how solid it felt sans roof. But as quick and engaging a drive as it was, I still for some reason have a hard time seeing myself in a drop top. However, this Porsche 944 Cabriolet for sale in Indianapolis has me rethinking that whole notion all together. Looking sharp in red, it has covered just over 42,000 miles in its lifetime.

1990 Volkswagen Rallye Golf

Published June 28, 2014 by Paul

The Volkswagen Golf was never what you would call exotic, but sometimes the most pedestrian of cars makes for an interesting base for something a bit more special. Race homologation has brought us many great cars over the years, like the Porsche 959, Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 and Audi Sport Quattro. At double the price of a standard 8V GTI, the Rallye Golf was built so that Volkswagen could compete in the World Rally Championship. With Syncro four-wheel drive and a supercharged 1.8 liter, this car started a trend of ultimate Golfs and GTIs that we see up to the present day. This example for sale in England has been lightly used and a perfect piece for someone who is into the box flare style of the 1980s and early 1990s.
