1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera

Published December 24, 2014 by Rob

We talk a bit about 911 reliability around here and it is a well known trademark of the engines in these cars. But how about a 930 with over 200,000 miles on it? Given the much higher stress these blown engines tend to undergo a car like this one is truly a testament to the capabilities of these fantastic performance machines. This particular 930 has another treat to go with it. With some regularity we come across older Porsches with dubious claims about being a “one-owner” car, but this one here appears to be the real deal! One owner and one place of service for its entire 38 year and 200K mile existence, surely a rare thing to come across. Even better, this 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera, located in California, recently has come out of restoration and sits looking absolutely fantastic!

1997 Porsche 911 Turbo

Published December 23, 2014 by Rob

There’s a lot going on with the 993 Turbo. The first 911 Turbo that came standard with all-wheel drive, the first twin-turbocharged 911 Turbo, the first to come standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, the first of the production turbos to produce more than 400 hp. And the last air-cooled 911 Turbo. When you combine all of these things with the extremely sexy design of the 993 itself, then it is no wonder that the market for them never really fell off and like the rest of the air-cooled line values now continue to climb. There is still a part of me that wonders how the value of these will play out relative to the various iterations of the 964 Turbo (perhaps excepting the 3.6 Turbos S, whose rarity will always win out), but that will be something played out over quite a few more years. Here we have a 993 aiming for near top-market value: an Arena Red Metallic 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in Washington, with 30,265 miles on it.

1967 Porsche 911S Soft-window Targa – REVISIT

Published December 21, 2014 by Rob

The very rare Gulf Blue 911S Soft-window Targa we featured back in September is up for auction once again. Rather than the $195,000 Buy It Now price of the original listing, this is now up as a reserve auction with a starting bid of $145,000. Also, rather than Argentina it now resides in Denver, Colorado, which should make it a little easier for interested to buyers to view the car and see how it is sorted out. Any 911S is extremely valuable so we’ll have to see what sort of bidding this particular car might receive.

1983 Porsche 911SC Coupe

Published December 7, 2014 by Rob

Typically, a post featuring a 1983 911SC will highlight its melding of classic design, reliability and performance with the reasonable value that these 911s tend to command. As the last year of 911SC production the 1983MY tends to be an especially good candidate for such illustrations. This post will not feature sure a car. Rather, here we have an immaculate Guards Red 1983 Porsche 911SC Coupe, located in Southern California, with only 36,770 miles and a fairly high asking price. While the market for the 3.2 Carrera has accelerated across the board over the past year, values for the SC have increased at a much more gradual pace. We have, however, seen some excellent examples command higher values, while the higher-mileage, less-pristine, examples have held steady on the lower end on the scale.
