1993 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6

Published January 16, 2015 by Rob

It isn’t very often that I come across a 911 that somewhat confuses me, but with this car I spent a considerable amount of time trying to make sure I understood exactly what model it is and while I think I know, I’m still not entirely sure. Part of my uncertainty simply has to do with the possibility that this is a European variant of which I’m not entirely aware, but let’s cut to the chase: here we have a Black Metallic 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6, located in Paris, with 38,526 miles on it. My confusion comes from the options/modifications on this particular car. You see, it looks like a Turbo S ‘Package’ car, one of the rarest of the very rare 911 Turbos to be produced. Except, as far as I know, the Package car was only produced for the US market and the Turbo S was only produced in 1994. Presumably, then, this is a factory-modified Turbo 3.6 complete with the sport exhaust, Speedline wheels, and rear air intake of the Turbo S (along with a considerable bump in power). If that, indeed, is the case, then this probably isn’t as valuable as an actual Turbo S, but it may just be more rare. Either way, it is absolutely beautiful!

1979 Porsche 930

Published January 11, 2015 by Rob

I’m going to end this week more or less where I began it with an early Porsche 930. This time, however, we have one of the early 3.3 liter models, rather than a 3.0 liter, draped in the ever menacing combination of triple black. Like the Grand Prix White 930 the week began with, this 1979 Porsche 930, located in Oregon, sits with very low mileage and is sure to garner plenty of attention wherever it might go. We have seen with the various 930s featured this week that asking prices continue to surge upwards for the earliest and latest model years. Of course, each of these asking prices probably has been too high for the current market to support, but there does appear to be a significant difference developing among the various years. For a collector, these are the cars to seek. For a driver, buyers would be better suited seeking a good example from ’86-’88 as they can typically be found for quite a bit less money.

1989 Porsche 930 Coupe

Published January 7, 2015 by Rob

Following from yesterday’s early Porsche 930 here we have an example from the other end of the spectrum: a Silver Metallic 1989 Porsche 930, located in California, with 51,300 miles on it. 1989 marked the other significant point in the 930’s evolution as Porsche finally fitted the car with a 5-speed manual transmission in place of the 4-speed that had been standard throughout the model’s life. Oh, and it was the last year of the 930’s production. That makes these models highly regarded on the collector market and, as we can glean from the asking price here, quite a bit more valuable than some of the preceding years. It is these two ends of the 930 spectrum, the early 3.0 liter cars and the final year G50-equipped cars, that are commanding the most value these days and it has been interesting to compare the relative values of each. 1989 signaled the end of an important era for Porsche, and the 911 in general, as the cars produced over the previous decade had cemented the long-term viability of the 911 within Porsche’s ranks. It would also be the same year the 964 was introduced, a model that propelled the 911 forward and brought with it significant changes. As a way to say goodbye to the classic 911 design, the 5-speed 930 made for a nice departure.

1977 Porsche 930

Published January 6, 2015 by Rob

An early Porsche 930 is a truly special vehicle, not just for its sheer performance but for its development and ultimate showcase of what Porsche was capable of producing. While initially intended to follow in the footsteps of the Carrera RS as a lightened 911 designed to meet homologation requirements, plans for the 930 shifted as those requirements changed and the car became an opportunity for Porsche to produce a car that melded a high degree luxury with blistering performance. Porsche could now compete with the likes of Ferrari. During the early years, from 1975-1977, the 930 changed little featuring a turbocharged 3.0 flat-six mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The greatest change then came in 1978 when displacement was increased to 3.3 liters and an intercooler was integrated into the redesigned spoiler. My preference, purely from an aesthetic point of view, has always been for the 3.0 liter cars for the simple reason that the whale tail fits the lines of the car almost perfectly, while the tea-tray of the 3.3 liter cars looks slightly clunky. It’s a minor difference, but one that always stands out to me. The example here comes from that early 3.0 liter period: a rare sunroof delete, European, Grand Prix White 1977 Porsche 930, located in Los Angeles, with 21,787 miles on it.

1991 Porsche 911 Turbo

Published December 27, 2014 by Rob

One day I will cease to be surprised by the continued rise of the air-cooled 911 market, but today is not yet that day! The market for fast 964s possibly has been the craziest among the entire 911 line. Long hood values have risen quite a bit, but many of those cars have been quite valuable for some time now, and while we’ve seen the value of the 3.2 Carrera and 930 rise significantly, neither seems to match what’s going on with the 964, perhaps excepting the standard Carrera 2. There are the obvious examples like the RS America and Turbo 3.6, but even the first 964 Turbo, carrying over the 3.3 liter flat-six of the 930, is rising in value significantly. Granted some of the rise I see comes through asking prices rather than sales, which can be difficult to track accurately, but it seems clear where the market is going. This brings us to the car we see here: a Triple Black 1991 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in Connecticut, with 37,000 miles on it and pretty high asking price of $134,900.
