1973 Porsche 911E Targa

1973 Porsche 911E Targa

Published January 9, 2016 by Rob

Here is my second long-hood Porsche 911 for the week and again we have a 911E Targa, though this time from the final model year in 1973. From there the two cars diverge quite a bit because while the Signal Green Targa was more or less completely original this one has quite a few modifications, though the basic backbone remains fairly similar. The original engine remains, but it has been completely rebuilt and the stroke increased to 2.5 liters. There’s no statement about its current power, but it should be safe to say that it’s producing more than a stock 911E. The suspension sounds like it has been beefed up a bit and the interior has received some general refreshing and lightening including the deletion of the rear seats. The primary change of interest to the exterior is the addition of some SC flares and a set of Cibies up front. Overall the build is typical of the 911 ‘hot-rod’ that we come across now and then. This one is perhaps more understated, but for some that may be just what they are looking for. I think it looks pretty darn good and likely makes for some very nice driving!

2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS – No Reserve

2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS – No Reserve

Published January 8, 2016 by Rob

We’ve seen the high markup currently being attached to the 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The bottom line is that if you’d like to have one immediately then you have to pay. But how much? With this car, a Lava Orange example with 28 miles on it, I hope to satisfy that curiosity and see what one might go for. The owner of this GT3 RS has put it up for auction with no reserve. For those who might genuinely be in the market for a GT3 RS I imagine this would also be worth investigating, either to get a sense of the market or even to buy it. Lava Orange isn’t quite as bright as previous orange variants Porsche has released. In pictures it reminds me somewhat of Blood Orange, which is one of my favorite 911 colors and was only available in the late-60s and early-70s. As with any brightly hued vehicle the color won’t be for everyone, but a GT3 RS deserves this sort of color anyway. Why hide? This particular example seems fairly highly optioned, of perhaps most significance the carbon ceramic brakes were selected, and came with a sticker price of $209,735.

1993 Porsche 968 Cabriolet

1993 Porsche 968 Cabriolet

Published January 7, 2016 by Paul

As much as I’ve always loved the Porsche 968 Cabriolet, it’s a bit of an odd duck in the annals of Porsche history. However, I’m not the only one who is attracted to this car. In addition to the folks over at flüssig magazine who preach the gospel of the transaxle Porsche, former GCFSB writer Aaron had a few things to say about his desire to own a 968 Cabriolet in a conversation I was having with him yesterday evening. “Any Porsche made after ’98 is crap, ’80s 944s, 928s and 924s are all a bit dated. The 968 represents a ’90s era Porsche that the every man can afford.” Some may not necessarily agree with his sentiment, but having owned a 2000 Boxster, it must have had some affect on Aaron’s view of modern Porsches. If you share our love of 968s, check out this 968 Cabriolet for sale in Florida is one of two 6-speed examples painted in Amethyst Metallic.

1969 Porsche 911E Targa

1969 Porsche 911E Targa

Published January 7, 2016 by Rob

It feels like it’s been a while since I featured a long-hood Porsche 911. So I’m going to look at a couple of them this week, both very similar in some ways and markedly different in others. Generally speaking, the market for these 911s has slowed down quite a bit over the past year and with the exception of the very best examples prices have mostly plateaued. That’s good news for those who remain interested in these vintage cars, even if prices remain fairly high all things considered. For the entry-level 911T and mid-level 911E it is still possible to come across interesting examples in fairly good condition without having to spend exorbitant amounts. That remains less true for the 911S, but even prices for the S have shown little sense of rising lately. The example we have here is a rare Signal Green 1969 Porsche 911E Targa located in Colorado.

1987 Porsche 930 Coupe

1987 Porsche 930 Coupe

Published January 6, 2016 by Rob

We’ve featured a few 930s recently that have all hinted at the sharp increase in value we have begun to see with these early Turbos. Truthfully, some of them have more than hinted at those value increases with asking prices well north of what we are used to seeing for model years other than ’76 and ’89. The example here offers hope that there are still reasonable values to be found, though it comes with the caveat of having seen quite a bit more miles. Those extra miles are ok if the maintenance has been kept up-to-date and the car has been well cared for in other respects as well. But mileage tends to show even on the best examples and this one is no exception. Still, it’s a nice color that’s pretty uncommon for the 930 and presents quite well even with all of those miles. Here we have a 1987 Porsche 930 Coupe with 141,000 miles on it. Though the color combination isn’t stated, I’d guess it’s Venetian Blue Metallic over a contrasting Linen and Blue interior.
