Motorsport Monday: 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Tribute

Published January 20, 2014 by Carter

The 1970s Porsche 911 Carrera RSR are without a doubt one of my favorite race cars. Stretching the limits of that rear-engine design, Porsche employed both monstrous rear tires and aerodynamic aids to help tame the serious amount of grunt they were able to extract from the race prepared flat-6. And while I’m not alone in loving the RSR, not many were made leading to a fair amount of replicas of the various iterations. Some, like the last RSR replica we featured, take the iconic IROC cars as their inspiration, while others replicate more unique examples. But over the past few years backdating Carrera 3.2s and 964s has become popular, and it comes as no surprise to see today’s example – a 1984 Carrera 3.2 that’s been given the full-on RSR look – but unlike many other replicas, has remained streetable:

Speculate much? 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7

Published January 19, 2014 by Carter

If you ever think the world of E30s has gone a bit wacky in the past year or two, it’s nothing in comparison to what’s happening in the world of early Porsches, and particularly the 911 model. Just this morning, RM Auctions posted their results from their most recent event and several early 911s were pushing $150,000 to $200,000. Granted, they were in top condition and low miles, but still that was money that used to be reserved for supercars. The simplicity and elegant, classic styling of the 911 has proven to be a strong motivator for many a classic car enthusiast. However, it’s important not to get caught up in the market; park two seemingly quite similar 911s together and while one will be worth close to $200,000 in today’s market, a later run car will be worth only about 1/10th of that amount. This hasn’t stopped sellers from trying to capitalize on the crazy pricing trends; just take a look at this Copper Brown 1974 Carrera 2.7 to see:

1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

The Porsche 993 Carrera 4S is just one of those cars that stops me in my tracks every time I see one. Sure, people tend to ogle over the 993 as it was the final air-cooled 911, but the C4S is just one of those cars that, 17 years on, is just about as close to timeless as you can get. The wide fenders and subtle ground effects just make for such a visually appealing sports car while the proportions are still close to the original vehicle that debuted all the way back in the 1960s. This C4S for sale is located in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It has had three owners, with the current owner deciding to sell due to light usage.

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

Published January 10, 2014 by Paul

Given all this talk of stock market fluctuations and an economic recovery that has gone through fits and starts, where is a good place to park your money? Time in memorial has shown that a Porsche 911 is perhaps one of the strongest automotive investments out there. While desirability has come and gone with everything from Hemi Cudas to certain Ferrari models, the 911 has always been on the collectors’ radar. With two generations of water-cooled 911s behind us now, the earlier air-cooled 911s seems to keep creeping up in value year after year. This triple black 3.2 Targa for sale in California is an example of just how long these sports cars will last if care if lavished on them.

1996 Porsche 911 Turbo

Published January 3, 2014 by Nate

The other day I had dinner with my 1996 Turbo-owning neighbor and discussed his purchasing process, which began with an attraction to the wide hips of the C4S and led him to the ever-increasing draw of the final air-cooled Turbo. Many see it as the ultimate iteration of the unstoppable, quintessential sports car, and pristine examples are commanding serious money. The only difference between my neighbor’s and this one are the wheels and interior, and the brushed turbo twists and deep magenta interior are quite attractive under the black exterior. With fewer than 30k miles, this is the holy grail for many P-car enthusiasts.
