1984 Porsche 930 Coupe

1984 Porsche 930 Coupe

Published May 24, 2015 by Rob

With time many things can be mended. So just because a car was not available in our market during its years of production doesn’t mean that those same cars will never be available. Such is the case with the Porsche 930, which took a hiatus from US shores beginning in 1980 only to return in 1986. For fans of Porsche’s top model those years must have seemed an eternity. All we had were posters and our imagination. European owners suffered no such issues and by 1984 the 930 was sending 330 hp to those wide rear tires, making for pulse-quickening performance that required constant attention and offered numerous rewards for those capable of exploiting its massive performance potential. RoW cars possess a certain allure to many buyers as they possess a uniqueness that is difficult to capture and that allure always is enhanced when the car in question was not available in the US market. Thankfully the days of the 930’s absence have passed and those European models now can be found Stateside along with many examples of the original US market cars. Here we have one such European example: a Guards Red 1984 Porsche 930 Coupe, located in New York, with just 34,721 miles on it.

1997 Porsche 911 Turbo

1997 Porsche 911 Turbo

You wanna get nuts? Let’s get nuts. Here we have a paint-to-sample Riviera Blue 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in Montreal, with 21,465 miles on it. It is beautiful and head-turning in a way that only a pastel colored 993TT can be. It’s stunning. It also has an asking price that is more than $349,000! It’s a reserve auction so we do not know exactly what that asking price might be, but since the seller has set the starting bid at $349,000 then we know it is above that number. Yeah. This isn’t the craziest asking price I’ve come across on a 993 and if you were ever going to set your price in the stratosphere, then a Riviera Blue Turbo is just the sort of car to attract the right kind of attention. Still, it’s too high, but everyone needs a little insanity in their life now and then.

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6

Published May 9, 2015 by Rob

Yesterday we looked at a standard 964 Turbo and we will now turn our attention to the next step in the Turbo’s evolution: the Turbo 3.6. This is the car the 964 Turbo was intended to be from the start and as such they attract a significant amount of attention from collectors and 964 enthusiasts in general. We see this increased attention reflected in the significant premium these cars command over the 3.3 liter 964 Turbo. In fact, the asking price here is a little more than two times that of the 3.3 liter version seen yesterday. These aren’t the cars one should turn to when in search of performance value, but their demand on the collector market seems fairly secure. The Turbo 3.6, along with its even rarer sibling the 3.6 Turbo S, is the last of the brawny, hairy-chested, single-turbo, rear-drive, air-cooled 911 Turbos produced so their historical relevance for the marque is quite significant. The example we see here is a beautiful Amazon Green Metallic 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 with Cashmere leather interior and just 38,000 miles on it.

1992 Porsche 911 Turbo

It feels like it has been a while since I’ve written about the 964 Turbo so now seems as good a time as ever to remedy that. I’ve featured quite a few examples of the 930, my personal favorite of the 911 Turbos, but as the 930’s heir the 964 Turbo provides a very familiar recipe for driving enjoyment packaged in a more modern and refined machine. Utilizing the same basic setup as the 1989 930, a 3.3 liter turbocharged flat-6 mated to the G50 5-speed manual transmission, the 964 actually can provide the opportunity for experiencing much of the greatness of that final 930 model year, but for less cost. The cost will not likely be significantly less, but with the ’89 930 attracting significant attention on the collector market while the Turbo 3.6 garners most of the attention among 964 fans, the standard 964 Turbo sits in a nice middle position where we can’t quite say it is being ignored but it does fly under the radar just that little bit. How that will continue to play out over time remains to be seen, but right now it is not a bad car to pursue for those in search of the menacing performance that only a single-turbo rear-drive 911 can provide. The example we see here, a Guards Red 1992 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in Miami, shows with very reasonable mileage for its age and generally presents quite well.

1986 Porsche 930 Coupe

1986 Porsche 930 Coupe

Many of us here have a strong appreciation for the 911. That isn’t a surprise, though the rising costs of even the most basic models have tended to dull some of our affections to a degree. The 911 Turbo, however, hasn’t really suffered any of that dulling effect even as values have climbed precipitously. The refrain is more one of missed opportunities at owning a car we dreamed about as a kid. We are well past the days when an air-cooled Turbo can be had relatively inexpensively, thus requiring difficult choices for those who must balance costs with their desires. For those who are searching the best option for finding reasonable cost (remember, we’re talking about air-cooled Turbos, so no 996TT) is to find a well maintained 1986 930. These still won’t be cheap, as like the rest of the air-cooled lineup values have gone up from where they were just a year or two ago, but an ’86 still looks like the best best, at least in the US market. Bringing us to the car seen here: a Grand Prix White 1986 Porsche 930 Coupe, located in Texas, with 63K miles on it and on auction with no reserve.
