1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa

1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa

Published January 11, 2016 by Rob

The 964 is looking like the hot car on the 911 market at the moment, serving as a fitting reversal of the overall struggle the model suffered under during its production run. Porsche offered a huge variety of colors for the 964 – granted, Porsche always offered a wide variety of colors, though on the surface it has always felt like they expanded even more for the 964 – but we don’t come across many of those wild colors very often on the standard models. For instance, the Lime Yellow Carrera RS Paul featured over the weekend is one of the few yellow 964s I can recall seeing and I cannot recall any of those being a standard Carrera. That is the nature with rare colors, of course. But here we have one: a Coral Red 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa, located in Montreal, with Beige leather interior and 79,900 miles on it.

1974 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

1974 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

Published January 10, 2016 by Rob

I’ve featured a few modified Porsche 911s of late, something I’ve shied away from to a degree in the past due to their extremely high prices, and it has been interesting to see the variety of builds even if the referents to which those builds refer tends to remain static. Similar approaches and executions leading to different results, though all desirable in my opinion. Here we have another one, which, like yesterday’s 911E, may struggle with price given that the 911 that served as the foundation for this build is itself a fairly valuable commodity and even in non-original form that tends to generate varying notions of the car’s worth. The seller here appears to understand that dilemma given his statements in the ad, but whether that means a reasonable reserve follows is something we will have to wait and see. Let’s get to the basics: here we have a Light Yellow 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, located in Phoenix, with 112,500 miles on it. This 911 has seen quite a few modifications including the replacement of the original 2.7 liter engine with the 3.0 liter flat-six from a 911SC. But even that engine has not remained in its original form as it has been built with a variety of components from later 911s and is mated to a 915 5-speed from an ’86 Carrera. Power is claimed to be at 290 hp, a very substantial increase from where this car began its life, which should make it an extremely capable performer that can run with a wide variety of high-end machines.

Now Legal for Import: 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS

Now Legal for Import: 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS

Published January 10, 2016 by Paul

We’ve been taking a look at cars now eligible for importation to the US over the last week or so. We’ve had a good response to this new feature and plan to continue on with it from time to time. We’ve saved the best for last this week with one of the purest Porsche 911s of recent memory: the 911 Carrera RS. Right after Christmas, we took a look at a 1993 Carrera RS in my favorite Porsche color of Mint Green. The Carrera RS was deemed a bit too aggressive for US customers so we received the RS America instead. This 1992 Carrera RS for sale near Münster, Germany is not yet legal for import, but soon will be, albeit at a very steep cost.

1973 Porsche 911E Targa

1973 Porsche 911E Targa

Published January 9, 2016 by Rob

Here is my second long-hood Porsche 911 for the week and again we have a 911E Targa, though this time from the final model year in 1973. From there the two cars diverge quite a bit because while the Signal Green Targa was more or less completely original this one has quite a few modifications, though the basic backbone remains fairly similar. The original engine remains, but it has been completely rebuilt and the stroke increased to 2.5 liters. There’s no statement about its current power, but it should be safe to say that it’s producing more than a stock 911E. The suspension sounds like it has been beefed up a bit and the interior has received some general refreshing and lightening including the deletion of the rear seats. The primary change of interest to the exterior is the addition of some SC flares and a set of Cibies up front. Overall the build is typical of the 911 ‘hot-rod’ that we come across now and then. This one is perhaps more understated, but for some that may be just what they are looking for. I think it looks pretty darn good and likely makes for some very nice driving!

1969 Porsche 911E Targa

1969 Porsche 911E Targa

Published January 7, 2016 by Rob

It feels like it’s been a while since I featured a long-hood Porsche 911. So I’m going to look at a couple of them this week, both very similar in some ways and markedly different in others. Generally speaking, the market for these 911s has slowed down quite a bit over the past year and with the exception of the very best examples prices have mostly plateaued. That’s good news for those who remain interested in these vintage cars, even if prices remain fairly high all things considered. For the entry-level 911T and mid-level 911E it is still possible to come across interesting examples in fairly good condition without having to spend exorbitant amounts. That remains less true for the 911S, but even prices for the S have shown little sense of rising lately. The example we have here is a rare Signal Green 1969 Porsche 911E Targa located in Colorado.
