1993 Porsche 911 America Roadster

1993 Porsche 911 America Roadster

Published June 28, 2015 by Rob

Earlier this week we had a look at a Carrera 4 Widebody, otherwise known as the Turbo-look Coupe, and today we will turn our attention to the other Turbo-look variant produced for the 964 range, the America Roadster. Both examples were produced in fairly small numbers, but unlike the Carrera 4 Widebody, which held true to its Turbo-look moniker, the America Roadster would never be confused for a Turbo Cabriolet since one was never officially offered for the 964. The America Roadster, along with the widebody Speedster, were the only options for those who preferred the wider rear styling, but also wanted the ability to enjoy some top-down motoring. Frankly, it’s kind of peculiar that Porsche produced multiple turbo-bodied variants sans roof without also offering a Turbo Cabriolet, but perhaps they hoped to maintain the performance image of the Turbo and felt the Cabriolet hindered that image. Nevermind that they produced a 930 Cabriolet. Porsche’s business decisions aside, rare 964s tend to attract a good bit of attention and while the America Roadster probably attracts the least attention of the rare models they remain something to keep our eye on. Also, like the Carrera 4 Widebody they are a really pretty design! Here we have a Guards Red over Tan 1993 Porsche 911 America Roadster, located in Florida, with 44,350 miles on it.

1993 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet

1993 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet

Published June 26, 2015 by Paul

The Porsche 964 went relatively unnoticed for quite some years. The rush on air-cooled Porsches changed that, with the immense popularity of its successor and predecessor, the 993 and 3.2 Carrera, respectively, increasing values on this 911 steadily. This Carrera 4 Cabriolet for sale outside of Philadelphia is one of around 4,800 C4s produced out of a production run of just over 17,300 964 Cabriolets. This particular car has just over 60,000 miles and also comes with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.

1993 Porsche 968

1993 Porsche 968

Published May 26, 2015 by Paul

The Porsche 968 continues to capture the imagination of sports car enthusiasts to this day, especially for those who seek the best in handling dynamics. This car was almost a ready-made track car with an almost perfect weight distribution and a large displacement, torquey four-cylinder engine. What was supposed to be a “944 S3” turned out to be different enough than the original formula for Porsche to change the nomenclature. Nevertheless, this final 944 iteration was, like many final production cars, a perfection of the breed. This 968 for sale in Michigan isn’t a low-mileage garage queen, but with a few issues sorted, would make a great driver going forward.

Tuner Tuesday: 1993 Alpina B10 BiTurbo

Tuner Tuesday: 1993 Alpina B10 BiTurbo

Published May 19, 2015 by Carter

Alpina has always struck me as one of the most thorough tuners in the world. Their research and development of engines, suspension and exhaust is second only to perhaps Ruf and AMG, thanks largely to their close associations with the factory. Inside the fit and finish of the cars is perhaps even better than they came originally; beautiful details that make the cars stand apart. And visually Alpinas have always been the best looking BMWs out there in my opinion; subtle aerodynamic tweaks, beautiful wheels and striking but tasteful “go faster” stripes that distinguish Munich’s best. But even amongst Alpinas there are special models, and the E34 B10 BiTurbo is one of them. Alpina took a normal 535i and made it’s own interpretation of what the M5 could be; instead of a high-revving twin cam S38, you got two turbochargers with enough torque to embarrass those boys from Affalterbach. Alpina achieved this through a full custom build; Mahle pistons, custom oil sprayers to cool the them, stronger connecting rods, sodium-filled valves and bespoke intake and exhaust systems – but then, Alpina’s never been shy about producing it’s own items. While all Alpinas are rare, the B10 BiTurbo was fairly popular; of the 1600-odd E34s Alpina built, a full 507 of them were B10s. There are quite a few kicking around Canada, but not many are in the U.S., making this 1993 example quite rare:

1993 Porsche 928GTS

1993 Porsche 928GTS

Published May 16, 2015 by Carter

Here is a beautiful 1993 928 GTS. As you know, mint GTS’s fetch a pretty penny on the rare occasion that they come up for sale. In fact, I’d say that this is certainly the most pristine example to come up for sale publicly this year in the United States (that Midnight Blue ’95 5-speed in Germany that we featured about a month ago would be the nicest worldwide).

This particular example comes with a somewhat monochrome color combination of Polar Silver Metallic over Classic Grey leather. Breaking up the monotony is the eye catching red piping and rootwood shift lever, which were extremely rare options on GTS’s. Additional rare options featured on this GTS include Porsche crests in the headrests and a leather shift boot. It’s hard to tell if the luggage cover is also leather.

A quick search on the 928 Registry indicates that this car was last for sale at Gaudin Porsche in Las Vegas in 2002 when it had around 16K miles. According to the Carfax, it has lived in Florida, Nevada, and has been in Pennsylvania since the 2002 sale. I spoke to a very nice salesman at Marshall Goldman who informed me that the asking price is $89,900. Although that price does set (I believe) a new ceiling for automatic 1993 GTS’s, I’d say that this car is certainly worthy of it.
