I am a beach person that comes from a beach family. We don’t live there but no year feels complete if I’ve been away from the water for too long. When growing up my favorite vacation each year was when we went to the beach and while as an adult I enjoy a little more variety it is still the yearly family beach trip that I look forward to the most. Thus, almost anything that delivers that sort of feeling, that sense of sunshine, sand, and ocean breezes, will grab and hold my attention. When that something is a car then each of these sensations is ratcheted up as I begin to think about those coastal drives. That is exactly the sort of sense I get from the car here. Some of that is due to the location in which it currently resides, but mostly it’s a combination of the color on a Cabriolet. It feels like the coast and a would surely make for a fantastic coast-road cruiser. Here we have a Lagoon Green Metallic 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, located in California, with 46,998 miles on it.

Over the past few decades, the classic car market has been so crazy in some cases that former race cars have been reverted expensively back to street models in order to capitalize on their greater value. Factory race cars obviously retain their appeal – sometimes even if they were never raced – yet cars that were converted by your average enthusiast retain the prospect of a return to their former street-worthy status. One of the most popular cars to convert to track use has traditionally been the Porsche 911, a car that since it’s inception was a gentleman racer in the making. But with values in a shocking climb, will we see these 911s leave their ancestral home at the track and head for climate-controlled garages with heavy specialty insurance premiums?

1 CommentI am a big fan of variety and selection when it comes to car color. As such, I really enjoy coming across variants I haven’t seen before. While I have always been aware that Sand Beige existed and was available on older Porsches, I cannot recall actually coming across one. Now, I will say, Sand Beige isn’t an exciting color. This doesn’t make me take notice in the way a Blood Orange 911S or Riviera Blue GT2 does. It isn’t electric, but it is different and I still enjoy taking in any color simply so as to understand the nuances of the shade and the subtle distinctions that distinguish it from standard colors available at the time. Here we see it on an early short wheel-base 1966 Porsche 912, located in Ohio, with a nice Tan interior and 70,160 miles on it.

Comments closedYesterday we looked at a standard 964 Turbo and we will now turn our attention to the next step in the Turbo’s evolution: the Turbo 3.6. This is the car the 964 Turbo was intended to be from the start and as such they attract a significant amount of attention from collectors and 964 enthusiasts in general. We see this increased attention reflected in the significant premium these cars command over the 3.3 liter 964 Turbo. In fact, the asking price here is a little more than two times that of the 3.3 liter version seen yesterday. These aren’t the cars one should turn to when in search of performance value, but their demand on the collector market seems fairly secure. The Turbo 3.6, along with its even rarer sibling the 3.6 Turbo S, is the last of the brawny, hairy-chested, single-turbo, rear-drive, air-cooled 911 Turbos produced so their historical relevance for the marque is quite significant. The example we see here is a beautiful Amazon Green Metallic 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 with Cashmere leather interior and just 38,000 miles on it.

4 CommentsThe 1993 Audi S4 we listed last month has been updated slightly; original orange corner lights have replaced the aftermarket clear corners and the seller has dropped the price to $5,500.
