1969 Porsche 911E Coupe

Published August 10, 2014 by Rob

It’s nice to see another of the more interesting colors available for the 911. Bahama Yellow even brings with it a touch of subtlety relative to some of the other yellows available, which really shows in the hilly vineyard scenery of the pictures here. 1969 is also important for the 911 as it was the year Porsche extended the wheelbase by 57 mm across the 911 range so as to provide more balanced dynamics. The 911E was the mid-range model available, between the entry-level 911T and sportier 911S. These were distinguished from the T by having upgraded interior as well as Bosch fuel injection rather than the Weber carbs of the T. In all, the E had more power, better dynamics, and a more luxurious interior than the T and on the current market they strike a nice balance that doesn’t reach the monetary heights necessary to purchase the extremely desirable S.

Feature Listing: 1972 Porsche 911T

Published August 8, 2014 by Rob

There are always certain colors that elicit an irrational excitement from me when I come across them on a 911. The most popular, of course, being Guards Red, but some of the others are even better. Riviera Blue. Viper Green. Speed Yellow. These colors certainly aren’t for everyone because of their vibrant assertiveness, but for some of us they always hold a special place. For my tastes, the best shades on any sports car are orange and those are the cars that really get my heart moving. So, obviously how could I pass up this beautiful Tangerine 1972 Porsche 911T for sale from our friends at Sun Valley Auto Club in Hailey, Idaho? And, of course, with 1972 being the only year these early 911s featured an external oil tank filler, that adds an extra bit of rarity to this already rare low mileage 911T.

1967 Porsche 912

Published August 7, 2014 by Rob

We’re always on the look out for interesting and/or rare cars here at GCFSB and this excellent looking Bahama Yellow 1967 Porsche 912 with Caramel interior certainly ticks the first box. The seller hasn’t listed the mileage, but it appears to be just under 80K (assuming the odometer hasn’t rolled over) and in its past has had a rebuilt big bore engine. Other additions include a set of Fuchs and wood steering wheel from the 911S parts bin along with rally lighting and grille-mounted fog lights. The vast majority of 912s we come across, even those in great condition, reflect their entry-level roots and remain simple cars. This one here though has been turned up a notch and really appears to be an excellent example of what, for a short time, was an alternative to the 911.

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe

Published August 4, 2014 by Rob

When Porsche introduced the 964 to the world they did something a little peculiar. The first model they released was the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4. To inaugurate a new model itself was a big step given the substantial revisions to what was quickly becoming a performance icon. To do so with the release of a model that previously never existed? That was huge. The Carrera 2 would come a year later, but the release of the Carrera 4 began the march towards what we might call a more “grown-up” Porsche. With power now driving all 4 wheels, in addition to an electronically-raised rear spoiler, the difficulties many drivers may have had mastering the 911’s dynamics now became simplified. A few years later we would also see an all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo and ever since these models have been a constant presence in the 911 line. So here we have an example of the model that started it all: a Guards Red 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe, located in Miami, with 86,000 miles on it.

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 Coupe

Published August 2, 2014 by Rob

Those who obsess over air-cooled 911s, and the 964 especially, will need little introduction to this model. While this isn’t the pinnacle of the 964 Turbo line (that would be the Turbo S), the Turbo 3.6 possesses enough rarity and panache to hold our attention any time we come across one. When Porsche initially developed and released the 964 Turbo they had yet to develop a forced induction example of the 3.6 liter flat-six that was standard across the 964 line. Naturally, they chose to stick with the well known 3.3 liter engine that had powered the 930 over the previous decade and it was not until 1993 that a 3.6 liter version of the 911 Turbo would be released. With 360 hp delivered to the rear wheels, the Turbo 3.6 remains one of the best 911 Turbos ever produced and the last of the rear-drive Turbos as the 993 would come standard with all-wheel drive. These are, quite simply, exquisite! The example featured here is a Titanium Metallic 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 Coupe, located in New Jersey, with 38,176 miles on it.
