2007 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe – Paint to Sample

2007 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe – Paint to Sample

Published June 28, 2015 by Rob

We frequently speak about the value to be found in the 996 range, and the 996TT specifically, but sometimes lost within the low prices of the 996TT and the seemingly ever-escalating prices of any air-cooled Turbo sits the 997. With a few of the 996’s design flaws remedied, which had turned off many long-time 911 fans, the 997 provides extremely capable performance in a more elegant and refined package. Sure, prices aren’t at 996 levels – the asking price here is nearly double that of a decent 996TT – but they aren’t astronomical either and surely represent excellent value given their performance capabilities. We are talking about 480 hp directed to all four wheels, sub-4 second runs to 60 mph, and a top speed that isn’t too far shy of 200 mph. They are fast and for the extra money over a 996TT you are getting a better looking 911 and 65 additional horses to propel you as far past legal speeds as you dare go. The example we see here also happens to be Orange: a paint-to-sample 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe, located in New York, with 43,500 miles on it.

Owners of a mid-year 911 will almost always tell you that their reputation is highly exaggerated. To be fair, no one should know better than the owner of a particular model, though no one has a greater vested interest either. In these cases reality likely lies in the middle and an emphasis on a particular car’s maintenance history becomes imperative. But at the end of the day the mid-year 911 remains a classic Porsche, and though the company went through significant adjustments attempting to accommodate changing emissions and safety requirements and these 911s were developed during a time when the long-term viability of the model seriously was in question, we cannot simply dismiss an entire segment, especially once we begin to adjust expectations relative to value. These are not the best performing 911s, that is the reality, and their style definitely rankled when first released due to the divergence from the smoother lines of the long-hood models. However, sitting here 40 years later the style is classic 911. The impact bumpers long have been accepted and are found on some of the most desirable models Porsche produced. The performance still lags compared to its brethren, but many classic 911s will only feel brisk relative to modern machines. So maybe they aren’t so bad and the price is surely right. This brings us to the example seen here: a Lime Green 1974 Porsche 911 Coupe, located in California, with 57,147 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.

James May’s 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

Fans of the BBC motoring show Top Gear are familiar with the travails the show has gone through over the years and I assume are aware of its current status due principally to Jeremy Clarkson’s constant ability to cause problems. Always found in the midst of Jeremy’s bellowing and Hammond’s whining stood James May, otherwise known as Captain Slow. As a constant source of jabs from his two ridiculous co-presenters, May provided balance to the show, but behind the staid exterior was a genuine motoring enthusiast who has owned a number of interesting, and fast, cars and bikes over the years. Some of his machines have made appearances on Top Gear itself, while others have appeared in separate one-off shows he has been a part of during his Top Gear tenure. One of those, his Guards Red 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe with just under 55K kilometers on it, will be put up for auction at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed on Friday, June 26. Among cars with famous owners this Carrera is somewhat unique in that it is currently owned by James rather than being a car that is an owner or two removed from its famous owner’s stewardship. For fans of the show, that makes this low-mileage Carrera just that extra bit more special.

1979 Porsche 911SC Coupe – less than 10,000 miles

1979 Porsche 911SC Coupe – less than 10,000 miles

Here we have another 911 coming from the value range of 911 models, but this 911 will be no value. This one-owner Black Metallic 1979 Porsche 911SC, located in Michigan with Saddle Tan leather interior, sits with a mere 9,158 miles on it. That makes it the lowest mileage 911SC I have come across and certainly one of the lowest mileage in existence. I’ll admit I find it quite strange that such a car would have come this far having covered so few miles, but here we are. This isn’t a Carrera RS or some other uber rare 911, nor was the iconic stature of the 911 secure during the time of the SC’s production. Regardless of how we got here this is a time capsule and it looks in the sort of shape we would expect from a car with such low mileage. It also happens to come in a more rare Black Metallic exterior rather than the standard Black.
