1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 – REVISIT

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 – REVISIT

The Polar Silver 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 we featured back in October is up for sale again, this time as a reserve auction. It appears it has also moved from a private seller to a dealer, which has provided us the benefit of much better pictures than we had with the original ad and those pictures show us that this 911 appears to have been well cared for. While not high mileage this Turbo 3.6 does have a few more miles on it than most that we come across so we’ll have to see where bidding ultimately finishes.

1979 Porsche 911SC Targa

1979 Porsche 911SC Targa

Published November 13, 2015 by Rob

I started this week with a couple 3.2 Carreras that were very very expensive as I wanted to get a sense what was going on with that market. Now I’m going to return to something much more reasonable and what really, by comparison, kind of seems like a no brainer if one were choosing between the car we see here and one of those Carreras. Here we have a 1979 Porsche 911SC Targa, located in California, with 127,532 miles on it. The colors are listed only as Gray over Brown, but exactly what Gray this is and whether the colors are original to the car I’m not sure. Some precision in that regard would be helpful, but overall we’re going for value here so that might be less important to some. I mean, if you like the color, then you like the color whether it’s original or not. Given what was available at the time it could be Diamond Silver Metallic (or even just Silver Metallic) though it appears to have a touch of brown in it. That may just be a trick of the locale. Regardless, it looks in very good condition inside and out and while we aren’t offered much in the description we do get a large numbers of photos to help us judge the state of this 911. The 911SC has long been a favorite of many 911 enthusiasts and can make for a great entry into the world of 911s in general.

1988 Porsche 930 Coupe

So who wants to take a risk? Or if not a risk, then simply put in the work to understand this Porsche 930’s history. As I’ve said previously, when we encounter cars that seem undervalued then we must ask a lot of questions. That is especially so when we are dealing with cars that aren’t exactly flying under the radar and the 930 certainly fits that bill. But with an asking price of $77,950 this Black Pearl Metallic 1988 Porsche 930 Coupe definitely seems like it is on offer for a pretty reasonable price and given the sharp rise in values we’ve seen for these Turbos that price brings with it a host of concerns. But the mileage is very reasonable and it looks in very good shape. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the low price I would have few questions about this car and the color combination (more on that below) isn’t one we see very often on a 911. Perhaps I’m being too cynical and this is just a nice value?

1975 Porsche 911S 25th Anniversary Edition

1975 Porsche 911S 25th Anniversary Edition

Published November 10, 2015 by Rob

By now, Porsche has become pretty well known for producing commemorative edition models to celebrate a variety of milestones. Mostly they are differentiated by unique interior and exterior combinations and built in pretty low production numbers. The one we see here, a 1975 Porsche 911S 25th Anniversary Edition is, I believe, the first commemorative edition Porsche produced, and it’s the first time I’ve come across one. First, we must distinguish this from the 25th Anniversary 911, which was produced in 1989 as a means to commemorate 25 years of 911 production. Those were available as a Coupe, Targa, or Cabriolet, and came with either a Satin Black Metallic or, more commonly, Silver Metallic exterior and Silk Grey leather interior, along with a host of interior upgrades. The model we have here, on the other hand, was to commemorate 25 years of Porsche production in general. 1063 were produced as either Coupe or Targa and each came with a Diamond Silver Metallic exterior and Blue tweed interior. Mechanically there were no changes from the standard 911 as they featured a 2.7 liter flat-six delivering 165 hp through a 5-speed manual transmission.

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

Published November 9, 2015 by Rob

This is my second potentially “market setting” 3.2 Carrera and this one, as should be immediately clear from the specifics of the car and the asking price, epitomizes that term. Here we have a Venetian Blue Metallic 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe with a special order light grey interior and a mere 8,900 miles on it. And all of this loveliness could be yours for just $157,500. How did we get here? I’m not really sure and I have no idea where we go from here (though I’d be shocked if things went up). The car itself: it’s a nice combination and the condition looks good, though this is a color that is done a disservice being photographed indoors. It needs to be in the sunlight where that Venetian Blue exterior can show off its vibrancy and where the lightness of the interior makes a lot more sense. It is otherwise a fairly standard 3.2 Carrera that I presume has spent its life in a garage. Like in most such cases that is too bad as this 911 hasn’t been truly enjoyed, but we are used to such things around here. My curiosity is piqued by the asking price and along with yesterday’s Targa these aren’t entirely outliers. I’ve seen others with very high price tags and at least this one, though it is by far the highest price tag I have seen, has a collection of attributes that combined can warrant a significant premium. Something is going on with the market for these Carreras and we need to see where it settles.
