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.

1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Widebody Coupe

1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Widebody Coupe

Published June 25, 2015 by Rob

For the 964’s final model year Porsche gave us a few interesting new variants from which to choose. One of those was looking both forward and backward, drawing upon previous models and hinting at models that would come later. The car in question, which we see here, was the 1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Widebody Coupe. While the Carrera 4 itself first was introduced upon the 964’s debut, it originally came in the narrow-bodied design that was standard to any naturally-aspirated 964. Porsche, who had long produced wide-bodied 911s, had a few lingering Turbo chassis available and for the ’94 model year used those to produce a limited edition Turbo Look Carrera 4. The Turbo Look wasn’t a new idea as the 3.2 Carrera had provided a similar design through the M491 option package, and future 911 models would share the similar layout of the 964 Widebody under the guise of the Carrera 4S. These 964s are almost like an experiment taking previous ideas and trying them out in ways that would signal future directions. They aren’t the quickest 964s out there, but their look has garnered them quite an affectionate following among 911 fans.

James May’s 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

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.

1982 Porsche 911SC Coupe

1982 Porsche 911SC Coupe

Published June 23, 2015 by Rob

Let’s shift back to value 911s and as is so often the case that finds us taking a look at a 911SC. This particular SC is distinguished from other examples of similar value by its very striking, and rare, Green Metallic exterior over Tan interior combination. The seller hasn’t provided the necessary documentation to verify, nor made any statements to suggest, that this 911 wears its original colors (and we do know it was repainted a while back), but for those less interested in the long term value of this 911 that may not be an issue. It should nonetheless affect the final selling price to a small degree, but either way we are firmly in the realm of driver-quality machines here. The mileage is on the higher end – I’ve followed what is shown on the odometer of 168K – but the overall condition, along with the long history of documentation, shows that this SC has seen a good degree of care over the years and as such should make for a fine example for any buyer looking to get into a classic 911.

1979 Porsche 930

1979 Porsche 930

Published June 22, 2015 by Rob

I am going to return now to a long-time personal favorite of mine: a Black 911 Turbo. This particular example is the full menace, triple-black, configuration and while my own preferences lean toward black and tan, triple black always has enjoyed favor among a wide array of fans of the 911 Turbo. This is the version that brings the greatest level of aggression to match the car’s dynamics and it’s become the poster car configuration of many Turbos over the variety of 911 models. The example seen here, a triple-black 1979 Porsche 930 located in Nevada with a little under 60K miles, comes from the early years of the Turbo’s existence, though not one of the earliest 3.0 liter, non-intercooled, models. In many ways, this is the version that propelled the 911 forward through its combination of exhilarating performance wrapped in a package that retained a good deal of luxury and refinement. The 930 was Porsche’s statement to the world that they could compete with any automaker’s best while still producing a civilized machine when the driver sought a more leisurely drive. Not all supercars had to come with significant sacrifices!
