1994 Porsche 928GTS

1994 Porsche 928GTS

Published October 5, 2015 by Paul

We rarely feature cars that aren’t advertised to the general public at GCFSB, and when we do, it is typically for a very special car. The one here is no exception. It’s a beautiful Gran Prix White over Classic Grey 1994 Porsche 928 GTS automatic with 58,000 miles. Furthermore, this particular example has been owned by the president of the 928 Owners’ Club since 1997. With numerous concours awards under its belt, this car is well-known in among the close-knit community of 928 owners as a top notch example of the final series. To top it all off, this car is a late VIN ’94.

For those who are unfamiliar with the intricacies of 928 GTS production, production for the 1994 model year was divided into two segments; early and late model-year cars. The early ‘94s were specced exactly like 1993 928s (with Cup I wheels, the RDK tire pressure monitoring system, and weaker conrods). The late 1994 models received a few upgrades which included Cup II (993) style wheels with no RDK, a cabin pollen filter, and reinforced connecting rods. These were the last upgrades that Porsche ever gave the 928, which remained in production until 1995 (thus, aside from a differing term denoting the model year in the VIN, 928s built as late 1994 models and as 1995 models are exactly the same).

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

Published October 3, 2015 by Rob

Final model years have their own particular appeal, perhaps garnering an extra dose of nostalgic reverence over the earlier model years, and as such with all else being equal almost always command the most value. Of the years during which the Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera was produced it is the final three model years that capture the most attention, given Porsche’s introduction of the G50 5-speed manual transmission in 1987, but cars from the model’s final year, 1989, continue that trend of showing slightly elevated values compared with the rest. 1989 itself marked a significant turning point for the 911 as it would finally see a significant reworking of the exterior design it had possessed since 1974. Furthermore, that design transition came after the success of the 911SC and 3.2 Carrera had cemented the 911’s place in the Porsche lineup. The time had finally come to retire an icon – or at least give an icon a significant facelift. For fans of the classic 911 style that makes 911s from the 1989MY highly prized as the final rendition we would see and the most refined of the breed. The example we have here is a very pretty Velvet Red Metallic 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa, located in Cleveland, with a Burgundy interior and 87,950 miles on it.

Porsche 928 Roundup

Porsche 928 Roundup

Published October 3, 2015 by Paul

Last month, I had the pleasure of stopping by the 19th annual 928 Frenzy in Sterling, Virginia. In all the years of being a car enthusiast, rarely have I come across a more tight knit and dedicated group of enthusiasts devoted towards one model of vehicle. I’ve learned a lot about these V8 GT cars through fellow enthusiasts over at flüssig magazine and from Jim Doerr at 928 Classics. If you are a fan or owner of the 928 and haven’t checked out either of these sites, you would be well advised to do so. These are people who are helping keep the dream alive when it comes to Porsche’s beloved V8 coupe.

The 928 is a special car and really stands apart from both its contemporaries and modern sports cars of today. While some of the 911 set deride it, the 928 was the first clean sheet design from Porsche. So good was this design, it would last almost 20 years, still looking strikingly current at the end of its production run in 928GTS form. Taking a cue from Carter’s 924 Roundup earlier in the week, let’s take a moment to pay homage to this great GT car and take a look at the different variants throughout the years, staring off with this 1978 928 for sale in Italy.

1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Club Sport – REVISIT

1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Club Sport – REVISIT

It’s back. The 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Club Sport we featured in August is still up for sale and the asking price has come down some though not significantly (the starting bid on this no reserve auction is set at $85,000). The Club Sport commands tremendous value, but this particular example has seen so many modifications that it is almost a Club Sport in name only. We must wonder whether the owner would be far better suited returning the car as close to stock form as possible. Will this auction find any interested parties for what is a very special model?

1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S

1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S

Published October 1, 2015 by Rob

Here’s a rare thing: these days the only thing more rare than a limited-production air-cooled 911 is a limited-production air-cooled 911 with a decent number of miles on it. And that’s exactly what we have here with this Black on Black 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S, located in Northern Virginia, that has seen 105,280 miles over the course of its life. While I’m sure we have all suspected such cars to exist we almost never come across them and for this to be the last and most valuable of the air-cooled Turbos (excepting, of course, the 993 GT2) I’m shocked to see it. It’s fantastic though! The current owner of this car, who has had it since 2001, certainly appears to have gotten the most out of this purpose-built machine. With the market for air-cooled Turbos in the midst of a precipitous climb where might potential buyers value this example with such high mileage? Hopefully this auction will shed some light.
