1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe – No Reserve

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe – No Reserve

Published May 18, 2016 by Rob

We don’t see a lot of 911s come up for auction with no reserve, especially those of the air-cooled variety, but as the market has slowed naturally sellers look to attract added attention through the promise of a sale, rather than concern sellers with the possibility of a sky-high reserve. Even as the market cools I’m still surprised to see relatively low mileage examples for sale with no reserve, but that appears to be just what we have here. Granted, we may have some questions about this 911 (see below), but on the surface it presents well, comes in a nice color, and is claimed to have belonged to only one owner. There is a ton to like and for those looking for a later Carrera – meaning one with the G50 transmission – this could make for an interesting possibility. Here we have a Red over Linen 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, located in California, with 62,900 miles on it.

1973 Porsche 911T Coupe Sportomatic

1973 Porsche 911T Coupe Sportomatic

Published May 16, 2016 by Rob

I have a couple reasons for wanting to feature this 911: 1) the exterior color is Gemini Blue Metallic, one of the better early blues that Porsche offered and definitely one of my favorites. 2) It’s a Sportomatic, the quirky clutch-less manual-automatic transmission Porsche experimented with in the early years of the 911. A Sportomatic is pretty rare to come across, though this is one of the times where rarity doesn’t always mean increased desirability. Still, for those with an interest in Porsche’s engineering history, either as part of a collection or simply for one’s own curiosity, this one comes from about as late in long-hood design as we can find and should make for a nice example. It is equipped with the MFI 2.4 liter flat-six that was standard in the 911E and 911S – though with less power – but only available in the first half of ’73 for the 911T. That it comes in such a wonderful color makes it just that much more appealing. So here we have a Gemini Blue Metallic 1973 Porsche 911T Coupe, located in Oregon, with 109,802 miles on it and the 4-speed Sportomatic transmission.

1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

It’s funny, even within the world of high performance (like the Carrera RS featured Wednesday) and extremely interesting 911s (like the Amethyst 964 featured on Tuesday) I still can come across examples of a relatively basic 3.2 Carrera and really be captivated by it. Such is the case with this paint-to-sample Sapphire Blue 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, located in Nashville. I came across it and immediately was taken in by it. There isn’t anything particularly awe inspiring about this Carrera; it’s just a nice looking example in what appears to be good condition and the price isn’t too bad. While color itself always is a matter of taste I think for those who do enjoy it the total package here is just the sort of thing many of us are trying to find.

1995 Porsche 911 Carrera RS

1995 Porsche 911 Carrera RS

Published May 11, 2016 by Rob

Here is something we definitely don’t see everyday. From the outset I’ll say that there are a lot of questions to be asked about this 911, but once those questions are answered then this one probably won’t be around long. Here we have a 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera RS, located in Texas, with 17,893 miles on it. Since the 993 Carrera RS was never imported into the United States and because we have not yet reached the 25 year window in which such a car can more easily be imported, I’m always curious how the rare few of these that do exist here manage to find their way to our shores. There are always ways to get around such obstacles and this isn’t the first one I’ve come across, but in each case there lingers that same aura of mystery. Those concerns cover our first set of questions, and frankly those are probably the most important as they help establish the authenticity of this 911 and its road legality. I should state, this does appear to be a genuine RS so I don’t want to heap doubt upon it in that regard, but at this sort of price caution is always warranted.

1992 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe

1992 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe

Published May 10, 2016 by Rob

The second of my 964s takes thing in a much more interesting, though also in a more likely divisive direction. Unlike yesterday’s Cabriolet, which likely would make for an excellent open-top driver 911, the Coupe we see here aims straight for collectors. That is in part due to its low mileage, but largely due to its eye-catching color combination. With an Amethyst Metallic exterior over a Cobalt Blue interior I can honestly say I’ve seen nothing else like it. There’s likely a reason we haven’t come across such a combination previously. The juxtaposition probably will be hard for some to get their head around. One of our commenters remarked that the Amaranth Violet 993 we featured last week would have been very much Prince’s style. I think this Carrera 4 takes us even further in that direction.
