This is about as mid- to late-70s as a Porsche 911 gets. Bitter Chocolate over Tan with black trim and the Carrera script running down the sides. For a while now the mid-year 911s have been some of the least expensive classic 911s on the market, especially when compared to the long-hood examples that immediately preceded them. There have always been two exceptions to that rule: the Carrera 2.7 of the US market and the Carrera 2.7 MFI in the European market. It is that MFI Carrera that we see here and with prices for mid-year 911s slowly creeping up these models have set the bar for the heights these machines can reach. Mechanically similar to the ’73 Carrera RS Touring, the Carrera 2.7 MFI serves as an alternative for those who don’t have a spare million dollars lying around for a RS and the example we see here, a Bitter Chocolate 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI Coupe located in Atlanta, comes from the final year these models were produced. These would be the last of the mechanically fuel injected road cars that Porsche would build.

The Grey 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe we featured in early July has come back up for auction. This time the starting bid has been lowered from $49,500 to $39,500, but it is up as a reserve auction rather than with no reserve. The seller probably will not have budged much on price, but hopefully we’ll at least see some bids this time around. Whether it will meet the seller’s reserve, we will have to see.

2 CommentsThere is no doubt that modern day Porsches are impressive machines, with power and performance almost second to none. But when I scan the current lineup, there’s something missing. I’d never deny these are great machines, but I almost feel like there’s a bit of a carefree nature that was apparent in Porsches from the past. Case in point, this 1997 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet for sale from our friends at Automobili Limited right outside of Philadelphia. The owner of the dealership, Tony Kasser, was kind enough to invite me for a visit this summer and it was an impressive collection of enthusiast machines, mostly of German origin. This 911 Cabriolet is another in a long line of classic Porsches in their collection. In Guards Red over Cashmere leather with a 6-speed manual gearbox, this is a great way to enjoy one of the last of the air-cooled 911s.

Comments closedUltra-low mileage cars always present a bit of a conundrum. Lust worthy? Without a doubt; I certainly look at every car that I have owned and wished that it was effectively in brand-new condition with no prior signs of ownership or the years that have passed. But what’s the cost of having had someone lovingly look after the car you’d desire today? Well, it’s relative in some regards. Let’s look at this 1988 944 Turbo S and break it down – is this mega-priced 944 Turbo S Silver Rose Edition still the giant killer it was 27 years ago?

5 CommentsAnother week, another Porsche 928GTS at GCFSB. Seems that way, doesn’t it? However, this 928GTS for sale outside of Philadelphia is one of those rare ones with the 5-speed manual gearbox, sure to get the minds racing of those transaxle fans out there. With under 40,000 miles, this is one for the serious Porsche collector, and the price certainly reflects the recent rise in visibility of these final 928s as a significant part of Porsche history.
